Hey everyone!
This week was pretty good! It went by suuuuuuuuuuper duper fast, and we had a pretty stinking amazing miracle this week!
There
have honestly been so many general authorities in Perth over the last few
weeks. We had Elder Renlund, Elder Hallstrom, Elder Nielson, Elder
O'reardon, and this week we had Elder Cardon of the Seventy come. It was
awesome, we had an MLC with him, and he gave us some awesome ideas of
how we can better work in our wards. Then he came to zone conference as
well. suuuuuuuper good!
On
Thursday we had to go to the chapel to set everything up, so we went
there after picking up the Kalgoorlie elders from the train station, and
we saw this Maori dude just sitting under a tree right out front of the
chapel. We told him he could come in if he wanted to have some air con,
but he said that he was all good, so we went in and were setting up,
then about 5 minutes later we heard a knock on the door so we went out,
and it was the Maori dude! He asked us, "Hey do you guys have like a
preacher or someone I can talk to? I've just have had heaps of stuff on
my mind lately."
So we told him that he could talk to us, and yeah he
opened up, and was just saying how he really feels like he wants to have
a fresh start, and that he has made some bad choices in the past that
he wants to get rid of, and how he wants to find more purpose in life,
etc. and yeah it was amazing!! So we took him on a chapel tour and
taught him about Christ, and the Atonement, and yeah we ended in the
baptismal font room, and invited him to be baptized, and he said yes! He
said he wants to be baptized on the 2nd of April!! woooooooooo! crazy
cool miracle. We had to hand him off to the Rocky West elders though,
because he's not in our area :/ but it's all good, it's all one work :)
I'm
loving this ward though, there are heaps of islanders Maori's, there
are HEAPS of Cookies ( cook islanders) they are super cool. They have
these drums that I'm going to jam on someday ;)
I
love the area, my companion, the zone, Everything! things are awesome
:) This week I've reflected heaps about how lucky I am to be a
missionary, and so I've just tried to embrace every minute of it this
week, and it has made the work even better :) Love you all!
Love Elder Beeson
