Kia Ora Whanau!
This week was up n down! It started out fantastic. On Tuesday we had a lesson with the Fakavi family. Brother Fakavi is a less active Tongan, but none of his kids or his wife are members. We've been teaching them for a little while, but this week we set them for baptism on March 2nd!!! They are so amazing. The 17 year old daughter even goes to early morning seminary! (Throwback to Texas where I could barely drag myself out of bed and I was a member haha) We've gone with her a few times, but she went twice on her own. They have such a strong spirit and I'm so grateful for them :') After we set them we blasted vocal points "there can be miracles" from the animated Joseph movie, and I was almost crying. I am so excited for them and their journey towards baptism!
Sister Fonua got sick on Wednesday, and it took a lot of convincing to keep her in bed. She told me that "Satan was trying to keep us from contacting someone so we needed to work it off and she'd feel better". I kind of didn't buy it, so I made her go back, and she slept for three hours and didn't get out of bed til the next day haha. So this week Sister Keller became a housewife again and cooked, baked, and cleaned! Also a lot of personal study, which I will never say no to :)
Another exciting thing was on Wednesday, there was a leadership meeting for all the Zone Leaders, STLs, and APs. A few of the STL's drove a really long way to Hamilton, so we got to take their companions on exchanges with us during the meeting. I was with Sister Spencer, and she is the sweetest most adorable thing! It was her birthday so we went all out and had Burger King for breakfast (that was a first for me...) and Burger Fuel for lunch. I showed her around the OTC which was cool because I still feel so new, but when I was telling her about it I realized I know a lot more than I think haha. It was a good self esteem booster!
I'd like to bare my testimony that I know this gospel is the most pure and true thing on this earth. Every day someone comes online and tries to take away my faith by arguing with me or bringing up false doctrine to convince me that what I have come to love with all my heart is untrue. Every time I feel my faith start to falter even a little bit, I always respond with the words "my testimony is stronger than I am", and I feel a surge of strength and remind them where I stand. I hope you know that Heavenly Father loves each and every one of you, and that through Christ we can feel peace in our lives that each of us are searching for.
I love yous all so much!!
Much love,
Sister Keller
