Happy Mother's day!
To start off, I am happy to announce that I was able to
speak with my family through Skype on Mother’s Day. It was so nice to see
everyone, and talk about their lives and my service here. It is crazy to think
that the next time I talk directly to them will be when I am already home. This
Mission has gone by so fast, and I know it will continue to do so. Before I
know it, I will be home. I hope I will be able to do all the things that God
desires of me in my last few months here in Indonesia. Unfortunately, my camera
has been having problems, and it is being serviced now. So there are no
pictures from this past week. But there are a few interesting events that
happened.
Elder H. is feeling a lot better now, and after some help
from President Donald and others, he has been able to work like normal again. He
and Elder Loudon have had a lot of success recently, especially in comparison
to the situation when they first arrived. I am very happy with how much they
help this city progress as far as the work goes.
We were able to find a few new investigators this week, and
they are both really good. One was a contact of mine a long time ago that was
always too busy to meet. He then suddenly sent us a text message, wanting to
meet at the church. We met him there, and he apologized that he could not come
to our previous appointments. We taught him the first lesson, and he accepted
everything we had to say. Before we even asked him if he would be baptized, he
asked us that very question. We will be helping him prepare to be baptized
sometime in June if he continues to progress.
With the work getting better in this city, it really helps
the morale of us Missionaries. We are much more confidant in finding people,
even though there is a good amount of things that sometimes prevent us from
working hard. But we have really had a good time here, and we will continue to
work hard.
Sorry this is short, but our time was cut because of the
Mother's day call. Thank you all for all the support, and I will see you later!
-Elder James
