This past month we finished up our GPS missionary duties out on the island of Romanum. It is a ways away from us and takes about 20
minutes on a good day, to get there on the boat with two outboard motors at full speed. It’s a small island about 2 square miles with
probably 500 people there. The Church is
fairly strong there comparatively. We
went out there at this time because one of the Elders that we started with when
we got here was assigned there and we wanted to work with him one last time
before he left for home. We had two really great
days there and got to meet some really great people. At
one place we met up with the sister of the wife of the branch president. Her husband has not been interested in the
Church before now but as a result of our efforts to locate members has asked to
be taught the lessons and come to Church.
We are very excited. We also
found a man who was baptized in 2009 but no one knew where he was. He was very happy that we were able to
reconnect him to the Missionaries. This
is the exciting part of what we do here, finding the Lords lost sheep. Alma 31:34-35 We testify that the Holy Ghost does direct us to those who seek truth as we pray and work that guidance. And we know from experience that this joy is lasting as we choose to take the gospel to others.
We begin our next adventure on the island of Uman...
