Kathy is still progressing, we were able to teach her The Gospel of Jesus Christ this week and she is still on track to be baptized on May 7th! We love her! She continues to read the Book of Mormon and pray and is planning on starting to attend institute and Young Single Adult activities!
On Saturday we had a district meeting with President and Sister Hudson which was really awesome! We talked a lot about our mission, The New Zealand Wellington Mission, and having New Zeal FOR the Wellington Mission. HA! Sister Hudson was really proud of that! It was really enlightening and it is always a blessing to be taught by the mission President and his wife.
This week was really focused on last minute preparations for the Lu'au. After district meeting us 4 missionaries from our ward immediately started decorating and prepping for the activity. We had to clean, set up chairs and tables, cook, and decorate!
It was busy, but we had fun! We ended up having about 150 people come to the activity. Lots of members, some less actives and quite a few non members! The food was amazing, and the performances were really cute and some were actually quite amazing! It ranged from Hawaiian to Samoan, and Tongan dances and hakas. After the performances we did a chapel tour. A member of our ward is a professional basketball player in New Zealand and brought HIS WHOLE TEAM! ha! They were all really nice and cool and they were fun during the chapel tour and had lots of questions. We got a few solid potential investigators from the activity so I am really happy about that!
On Sunday we had fast and testimony meeting which was really nice. President and Sister Hudson came to our ward that day and shared really nice testimonies. After Sacrament meeting I had an interview with President Hudson. I love him! I feel so blessed to have been placed in this mission with him and his good wife to lead us. The interview was really nice and he really loves all of us missionaries.
This weekend was General Conference, but we don't watch it until next weekend because we are a full day ahead here. I am SO excited to watch it! I am so grateful that twice a year we get to hear our prophet and apostles speak! I feel so lucky to know that we are lead and guided by someone who is so righteous and close to our Heavenly Father.
We have many hymns in the church, some that we have taken from other faiths and some faiths use ours, but, we are the ONLY church in the world that is able to sing the words, "We Thank thee O God for a Prophet, to guide us in these Latter Days."
I hope everyone had a good week. Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts! I love you all!
xoxo Sister Golden
