Mauri,
Things are going really good this week in Kiribati! Here
are the highlights.
Last night we taught a lesson with a guy. We also had a member bring the guys wife to
the lesson. It was sweet because his
wife didn’t want to have lessons but decided to come. Most people that say they aren't too
interested in lessons but if they come and continue to learn they realize how
blessed they can be from this gospel and things go really good for them. So, I am pretty excited.
We have 2 couples that we have been teaching let us know
how much different they feel having lessons and praying and reading scriptures
and going to church then they did before in their old religions. One of those
couples would always tell us they were not ready to come to church, but on
Saturday after we asked them again they said they were ready to go since they
had been feeling so much happier now than they were before. The wife got sick and
didn't come but the husband came so we were super happy about that. So many
people here are getting testimonies from their Father in Heaven and I am just
super excited about it!
We have a guy that moved into our ward from Eita 2nd ward
and he has been helping us missionaries a ton. He is constantly fellow shipping
people and helping us out in any way we need. Last night we had dinner with him
and his wife and one of their kids and you could just tell they were a super
happy family. Neither of them have jobs.
They just make money by selling random stuff but even though they were
poor, you could just tell they were so happy. He just got baptized a couple
years ago in 2012. Before that he said
that he was a drunk and just lived a crappy life. But now he is so happy in the
gospel.
People are so much happier and less angry or frustrated
living the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so glad that I can be a part of helping
people receive those feelings.
You asked me about my feelings on Grace.... What I know
is that people can be doing horrible things in life or make mistakes like all
of us do and when we decide to change and turn to our Savior (even though we
don't deserve to be let back into his fold) it is through the grace of Christ He
will always welcome us back into his fold.
We just need to repent and turn to him with all our hearts, no matter
how bad we were before.
Things are going great here. We have a family home
evening tonight with our Bishops family and one of the families we are teaching
are coming to it so I am pretty excited for that!
Keep having fun in life and always remember the Lord and
all the many blessings He has blessed you with. I hope you have a great week
back at home.
Love you!
Elder Dinsdale
