What a week filled with blessings. Since the new year
everyone has settled down a bit with the parties and all and they are
starting to get a lot more serious about living a better life this year
than last. What better way to do that than to be baptized! There are two
teenage boys (Kavika and Denero) from separate families that have been
coming to church all on their own due to wonderful friends who invited
them. Both of them wanted to be baptized but didn't have permission from
their parents. We were able to meet with all the parents this week and
they gave their approval. Yay! They will both be such strong additions
to the branch and they have both shared their desires to serve missions.
Denero's older sister (Lisa) is also preparing for baptism. She just
needs to get married. Her husband is being a bit of a pill about that
but he is a member from a good member family so I believe it will happen
soon.
I received my two Christmas packages last Monday! They were so
wonderful. Thank you all for thinking of me. The other sisters would all
like to give their thanks as they made sure to partake of all the
goodies. Jared, Sister Fatongia was thrilled to receive her honey. The
best part of all was when Sister Komra opened her presents. She loves
her scriptures so much she kisses them every time she picks them up. I
sent a picture of her big smile while she read Deborah's letter. I was
able to go on an exchange with her last week and it is amazing how much
she has grown in just two transfers. One of the funnest parts of
missionary work is seeing how much your fellow missionaries grow and
progress.
Love you all very much,
Sister Beutler
