Lina's Baptism


Dear, Family
 This week has been Hard and Good. We were able to witness and see Lina Be baptised it was a awesome privilege to teach her and help her to make this step. The Baptism went well was able to witness her get dunked twice. He grand pa didn't say amen the first time. haha  Apart from that is' been a bit hard we have had 4 investigators drop us and are able to see 3/4 or our investigators on a weekly basis were currently teaching only 12 people So it's been really hard been trying to do a lot of member work but just no success. We received a call Monday night during planning from Sister Paia'aua Who was calling us to inform us that our investigator Terryanne  baby was in the Hospital and had asked if we could give her daughter Ashlyn a blessing. We knew we weren't going to be able to get permission to leave and give a blessing after 9:30 pm. So we told her that we would love to and that we would do so at lunch time the following day. So as we went to the hospital it took us like 20 minutes to find the room I just felt so out of place in the hospital. But we eventually found the room and bed. Terryanne was sitting there by herself we had found out what had happened. Ashlyn and stopped breathing that morning and she rushed her to the hospital. They were able to get her breathing again and they had her monitored for 3 days after but she had gone through that whole experience alone so we had given a blessing Ashlyn and spent two hours there just being with her and talking with her. So that was a humbling experience and was just very different and a First for giving a child a blessing. But not much else this week just really humbling and hopefully lasting and greater change. Be safe!!! Know that Christ does live and we can receive help as we turn towards him.
