We had our zone conference yesterday so our p-day was moved to today. So yes, I'm still alive and well.
We just keep pluggin' along with the work. It's interesting how
some of the people who seem so golden at first just happen to disappear
but it's a regular occurrence in this part of Kolonia. The people move
around so much that it's hard to keep track of them. Sometimes their
family members don't even know what part of the island they disappeared
to. Quite often people just take off and move to the US. Don't ask how
or where they get the money to fly all over the world because I still
haven't figured it out myself.
We have one less-active family (The Helgenbergers) that we have
recently been working really hard with. They used to always say they
didn't know anyone we could teach. Then on Friday we happened to come
when a bunch of their friends were there. We taught their friends the
restoration and the Helgenbergers got so excited about answering their
questions and sharing their own testimonies that the next day they gave
us a whole list of neighbors they wanted us to go see. That was
definitely a mercy sent from God after a hard week.
We also have two sisters we are teaching named Aloha and Lyn. They
are both in their early twenties and in the beginning Aloha was the only
one showing interest. Lyn would join the lessons when there was nothing
else to do but would mostly just goof off. We recently had a really
powerful lesson with them about the Book of Mormon and I could see that
something touched Lyn. The spirit truly testified to her heart. She
began reading the Book of Mormon herself and after only a couple weeks
she was finished with 1st and 2nd Nephi. She doesn't goof off any more,
and when we come now she acts like she can't wait to learn more. It so
crazy to me how much she has changed in so short of a time. I know God
is involved in this work in every way.
Love you all,
Sister Beutler
