There are so many miracles I get to see every day. I
also get to see lots of funny things (mostly just Pohnpeins being
Pohnpein). This week the men are cutting down all the trees by the power
lines and as we drive past they always make sure to yell hello to us.
Yesterday a funeral was going on and we got stuck a few times as people
stopped in the middle of the road to let people out of their cars or
just to talk. The other day a teenage boy was sitting in the middle of
the road on a leg-less plastic chair just rocking back and forth. The
young-uns like to dance for us as we drive past them. We also just saw a
truck today with a 4divided by 4 symbol painted in the place where you
would usually see 4x4.
On a more spiritual note, our investigator Cindy who was supposed to be
baptized this week decided to wait until Dec. 7 to be baptized with her
sister and brother in law. Turns out, God's timing took it's role
because her husband, Romeo, also decided he would get baptized with
them. These two couples got married on the same day so his brother had a
talk with him and convinced him that they should all get baptized on
the same day too. Now they have a good support system as they all work
to overcome drinking and chewing beetle-nut together. They are all so
excited for their baptism day. A couple of the younger kids are also
getting baptized with them.
We have been doing a lot of finding this week and have found some
good families. We went to the Uh branch yesterday and after sacrament
meeting a girl (whom I had never met) came up to me and asked if she
could start coming out teaching with us. She says she has a whole bunch
of family in our area. She even gave me a few referrals. That was a
miracle in and of itself.
Well, love you all,
Sister Beutler
