Hello Everyone!!!
Bonaire is hopi bon! We are working really really hard with our investigator Luis and he is just progressing so much. He has been to church twice and loves it and we are working to getting him baptized very soon! We are going through old investigators and contacting whoever we feel prompted by the spirit to see, so we are starting to see lots of success from that! We also taught in Relief Society yesterday and that was a big success! Things are really moving along here in Bonaire!
Sister Burrup is doing awesome! We actually just had an idea recently to teach the restoration and other lessons using the gospel art book and it is seriously helping our teaching so much! Our investigators, less actives and recent converts are paying very close attention and the spirit is stronger and everything is better! They are also understanding better. We are seeing so much success with that. Other than that though Sister Burrup is doing really well and is constantly teaching me how to be better! I really look up to her.
This week we taught the temple prep class at church and we were talking about the Word of Wisdom and it was soooo funny because I asked the class, as an example, “would I be able to feel the spirit if i were drunk?”... and Sonia, one of the members (recent convert actually) said "yeah........the spirit of satan". We all died laughing. We love her!
We were able to do a lot of service this week! We have been able to do that a lotttt recently and it was so awesome! It has been wonderful and i just love getting to help!
OH Also, We have all been thinking that I would end my mission here in Bonaire, but we were working out transferschedules, and due to the immigration status of other sisters, I will most likely be ending my mission in Aruba!!! You never know, but that is just what seems to be the only option! crazyyy!!!
Luis came to church and he LOVES it. There is a mentally handicapped man that goes named Andres and everyone kind of ignores him at church but Luis said he wants to go every sunday so that he can help him and also just because he likes church! We asked Luis if i believed if these things were true and he said "my heart says it is”. You would have to be crazy to not believe its true!" He is so awesomeeeeee!!!! So true though.
We have had soooo many spiritual experiences with Luis this week. We had a really good and powerful lesson with him when we taught him about someone who he has been curious about in the BoM - Abinidi. We were able to put together a lesson where we just read about him and Luis just loved it so much. He testified that he knew these things are true. We compared him to Abinidi because of the changes he is making and the strength he has to say no to bad things from close friends and family. So amazing to see people change like this! I love this gospel sooo much and i know it is true!
I will be sending all of you a 90 day Book of Mormon challenge calendar next week and I just really really REALLY want to invite all of you to read with me!! I know it will strengthen and help you in your lives!
I love and miss you all and i hope you are having a great day and that you have a wonderful week!! BIIIG HUGS!
