Man its been a fast week! It went super quick. So much is
going on its awesome! I got a bunch of letters this week so thank you so
much too all. The pictures you sent me were great! I hope and pray C (cousin) is still doing well. I love our family. We have such great extended
family on both sides. :)
We're going to have the first baptism in our area
since I arrived here in Chuuk this Friday! Super exciting! He is so
awesome. 17 year old Forwin. He is actually the first investigator that I
started meeting with; all the people we had been working with before we
first met with him, Elder Fisher had been working with them before I got
here. We first met with him on July 17th in a group of teenage boys
outside the church. I couldn't understand Chuukese but by the end of the
lesson I could tell that he was the most touched and receptive to what
was taught, so we talked with him more after wards. And now here we are!
He's getting baptized this Friday. :) So sweet.
We had never been to his house because it was way up the mountain
in a place Elder Fisher had never been. But we needed to find it to find
his parents to get permission. Saturday we went out to find it. I
prayed as we were looking that both Forwin and his dad would be there.
We found it and they both were! Super great. We are going to try to
reactivate his parents. Such great stuff.
This sure is an awesome place. The people here are
so awesome. Our branch president is the best. The language is really
coming. I am struggling to understand what people are saying, but its
coming. In priesthood yesterday I felt I needed to talk about inviting
people to come to church especially less actives, and I was able to say
what I wanted to in Chuukese! It was so fun. I didn't know what they said
about it afterwards but it was good. :)
I'm doing well! Its beautiful out here. I'm so happy you all are doing well. My wonderful family I love you so so much. :)
Love,
Elder Aaron Lane Walters
