Happy New Year
What an amazing couple of months it has been. Our mission theme for 2014 is “Mighty
Miracles” and we have already seen sooo many!
I am including pictures of Zone conference in January and Zone
conference in February.
We took a week off and went to training in Guam in
January! French Fries have never tasted
so good. We enjoyed friends, great food
and wonderful training. The
R & R of Guam is so needed every six months. Thank you, President Mecham.
Our Seminary and Institute across the island is going great. We have a regular attendance at our PICS High
School of around 30. The students are
learning and we love them as our own. They
are so attentive and want to learn. We
have had 3 baptisms and several more that are waiting for parents
permission. We have between 4-8
non-members every day.
Our seminary activity for Valentines Day was so fun! We had about 65+ youth come and play
games. We laughed and giggled for
several hours. The kids on this island
love to have fun. If we could only do
activities more often, the kids would so love it.
We had a wonderful Zone Conference with President and Sister
Mecham. Then the next day was Seminary
Valentines Party. Saturday evening we
had 9 baptisms on the island. What a
great time to be a missionary on the beautiful Island of Pohnpei. The field is white already to harvest and a
mighty harvest we are having here.
We received the wonderful news that on March 16th
we will become a stake. Our members are
on fire!! We are all so excited! Just to think about a Patriarch on our island
is just such fabulous news. We are
thinking over 1000 members will attend when are organized in March.
On February 15th we had a District Youth Fireside
that was fabulous. Five of our youth
spoke on Dress & Appearance, Friends, Entertainment & Media, Repentance
& Sexual Purity. The youth speakers
did an amazing job. We had little videos from Mormon Messages in-between the
speakers on their topic. The youth were
taught in their own language about God’s plan for them. They understood!! We had probably around 175
youth in attendance. Then President
Mecham was in town and he concluded.
What a great weekend we enjoyed!!
We continue to have tender mercies given to us every day on
our mission. We had no idea so many
spiritual experiences would happen every day!
How grateful we are for them all.
Yesterday a prayer was answered immediately and it was a complete
miracle for me.
God is in this work every day!
We love and miss you all. We added 3 new grandchildren in January and
February. We have been so blessed.
