I am doing well and happy. We had an absolutely wonderful week! We have been so busy and we are seeing so many miracles all around!
Like I said, we are opening an area and we are the first sisters in 28 years. We just finished our first week of finding and teaching. So many days we experienced being led to those who really needed divine guidance in their lives. It's like that moment when we decide to go to a certain member. or family, and as we teach we are guided by the Spirit and several times we were able to resolve some concerns they were having. One example was on Saturday. We were trying to find a referral, Alex, and we were directed to a certain street and house. The man we ended up meeting was Alex, but it was the wrong last name. Anyway, we introduced ourselves and offered to share a message. As we were teaching him, we found out that his wife has passed away and his kids all live in different places now. He's only about 50 years old and he's really searching for the truth. He was asking if he could still be saved and forgiven because he was a retired soldier and he's killed people before. He is a smoker and he owns hundreds of cocks and fights them and gambles as his living. But I had a moment where I saw him in his ragged appearance, that I saw him as Heavenly Father sees him. I saw him dressed in white and about to be baptized. I can't wait for us to go back and teach him again.
Heavenly Father truly prepares people and puts them in our path. He will guide us to them or them to us. Keep inviting your friends and remember always what President Monson has said to see others as they may become. You will find more people to teach or refer to the missionaries if you apply this principle of love.
Asingan (my 5th area) is doing great. I am with Sister Ritati (my 10th companion) and she is from Kiribati.
Love you all,
Sister Santa
