Okay so this week was pretty aaaaaamazing! We had a lot of fun this week and a lot of
progress and witnessing that the gospel is true and that Jesus Christ is truly
the savior of the world with the people here on island. Since
Elder Page is still in Barbados for medical reasons, Elder Wilson is with Elder
Gordon and I and we are covering two areas.
It’s rough but fun because we get to teach a lot of people.
We have this family that is really progressing. Yesterday we gave them something called a
Pathway to Baptism plan where we set out the steps and the things we need to do
before they get baptized. It helped us
to see what was holding them back and what we can do to help them. They are
super awesome, when we teach them they asked great questions and showed a great
desire to learn and to grow.
This week one of the lessons I learned was always following
the spirit. On Tuesday we were walking
by this lady and I felt the prompting to turn around and to talk to this
lady. I stopped my companions and said
we needed to go back, there was instant opposition from the adversary and he
did not want us to go back and talk to this lady. We overcame that challenge and when we went
back, we were able to find out that she used to be taught by the missionaries
and that right now in her life she has some really rough things going on and
has needed some help. We went back to
see her yesterday and she explained that one of her really good friends has
gone missing and she has been praying really hard for guidance. We shared with her that as she trusts in the
Lord and knows that it by his will, not our own, she will have peace. And like Grandpa taught me, God is waiting to
grant us our blessing as long as we pray for them to show him our desire and
then he will help us. She expressed how grateful she was and how it helped so
much.
This week coming up were hoping to baptize a young man whose
name is Chris. He is a really cool kid
and has expressed to us how grateful he is and how the gospel has truly changed
him for the better. He isn’t sure who is
going to baptize him but I might be the one doing it so that means I will get
to go in the ocean this week but whether I do or not, the most important thing is,
we get to see this kid take an amazing
step in our Heavenly Fathers Plan.
We are also going to start teaching a man who is a St.
Vincent soulka star. He is really cool,
he showed us his music video that is coming out. His name is Clifford. He goes by a different
name professionally that I don’t remember but he already has a lot of really
good doctrine instilled in his mind.
Well I love you all and I leave you with a scripture - Revelations
22:21. I’m going to make you go get your
Bible and look it up because if I quoted it, it would be too easy.
Love Elder Fokken
