This week has been full of almost nothing. We had so many people bunt us that we mostly walked around and just found out which houses were okay with hearing our message and the ones that we should probably no go near. So it was a fun filled week of just walking.
We had the opportunity to go and talk to our investigators who are on date for the 20th! We went over there and we started our lesson and in the middle Ilalio (the investigator) yells at his daughter to stop tapping a book and calls her stupid...(I was the stupid one because I didn't know what was going on Elder Redd had to explain it to me.) But Elder Redd got super fired up and ended up teaching about loving one another in every way no matter who they are and what they are doing. Seriously I never thought that I could learn so much from someone else teaching someone else. I learned about how not patient I am with some people and how I have needed to just love them. I tried it out for the rest of the week and it was INSANE to see how many people I was able to love! The tender mercies I saw and the love returned to me!
The hard part about this week is we had to drop some of our investigators. They weren't real investigators. In Samoa it is very disrespectful to turn away any missionary for any church. So when we ask if we can come back they say yes because it is what they have to do. So most of our time is sifting through our investigators to see who is a real one and who is just being nice.
Other than that my week was spent walking in rain, sun, and wind. Im just living the life!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and for the love! God bless you all!
