This week has been
really good!
That’s great news
about Gladys and Bright!
We will be watching General
Conference this upcoming week. But I did hear about the Temple in Haiti, that’s
so wonderful! The church will also be building one in Bangkok, Thailand, which
means that members here won’t have to go all the way to Manila or Hong Kong! Apparently
it will cost about 1/8th what going to Manila would, members in West Malaysia
and Singapore will be able to bus or take a train!
The Missionary work
has been going good also!
We were able to meet
with both Mothi and Cherilyn and Tan. We really felt like these lessons would
be critical so we really tried to pray and figure out what they needed to hear.
We felt like
Cherilyn and Tan needed to be refocused. They have been coming to church but
not really reading or praying much, not really seeking out a testimony. So we decided to just talk about our purpose.
It really opened up the discussion and we were able to figure out where each of
them were and also recommit them. The spirit was pretty strong and they felt
it. Later that evening Cherilyn sent us a text thanking us and recommitting to
build her faith. Way dope!
For Mothi we decided
to really just focus on the gospel and especially on baptism. We met with him
and also some of his siblings and his aunt. His aunt has learned before and
when we read out of John how we need to be baptized she pointed to Mothi’s
siblings and was like, "baptize these ones, they haven’t been baptized
yet", way funny. He committed to be baptized on Oct 7th. Not sure why that
day but that's what he wanted. We feel like he still feels like he’s not ready,
we need to meet with him alone so that he’s not shy to talk about it in front
of others.
Also were able to go
meet with Adrian and Alana so that Yang could cut Adrian's hair, they are way
dope!
Also met with
Sakarius a less active member ye have met a couple times before. He’s from Indonesia.
He also came to church! He’s way dope, it’s always fun to talk with Indonesians
because they are very patriotic, they like to tell about their history and Indonesia.
My interview was
good, but it’s not my departing one, that’ll be when I go to Singapore...
This morning we went
to an island, way nice. That’s why we’re emailing late.
Sincerely,
Elder Halpin
