Hey!
So here I am to report another week. It was an awesome week! Mainly because I finally got to do normal, real proselyting for the whole week. It was like a big burden was lifted off my shoulders!! Haha tender mercies of the Lord, really.
This time around in Neao I am planning to do stuff a little differently. The first time, I just tried to go out and teach everyone and just baptize everyone and felt like that was the best way to do things. This time after learning a lot from President Zarbock, I am going to slow down and let the Spirit lead me to those I need to teach. It is different in Chuuk, where you don't really need to open
your mouth though that much, mainly because 95% of the time they WILL talk to you just because its culture so we have gone around and get a lot of referrals from members so we can find legit investigators that already have some connection to the church. Instead of talking to a random guy who acts super spiritual and takes it all in but never actually does anything...ha.
So we have already 4 or 5 solid investigators that have come to church at least once. One is a 17 year old guy named Erem. Chiro (going on a mission) is good friends with him and started bringing him to church. So we have been meeting with him and he should be good to be baptized on the 28th of this month.
We have also been meeting with a lot of less actives and striving to get them to keep commitments. Estino and Jean (a family I worked with before) have ever so slightly been starting to come back to the church, and now they are doing super good and their whole family has been here the past two weeks, and Estino has stayed for all three hours. They are doing great, they will be back to full activity this week!
No new elders this transfer. We had 4 elders go home this last transfer and 2 left to Guam so we had to close 3 areas. hopefully the mission will get some big intakes this summer to start reopening areas.
The members were happy to know I was in Neao again. Ha I saw them all the time because they come to the Mwan branch. So really I have been working in the same branch since I left Udot.
Things with Elder R. are super good, he is learning a lot. All the members in Neao tell him that in just a few weeks he will know Chuukese really well. Wow, that is rough about the Vanuatu storms. I don't know if you remember but Elder Garae (comp from Neao) is from Vanuatu, and Elder Hokao (also in our Zone) is from there so I hope their families are doing okay, not sure if they have even heard about the storms. dont worry about us in Chuuk though, storms never really hit here. But hopefully it brings some rain cuz it has been dry the past two weeks.
Well, I will write next week! I love you all!
Elder Schroath
