Rock-solid Converts - The Weekly Email

Not much to update everyone on this week, the biggest piece of news honestly is just how well Marie-Rose and Kena are doing right now. First off, they're both fired up to do missionary work, just a couple days ago we went past Marie-Rose's house, and first she asked for a Book of Mormon, and then since we didn't have anything fixed, she just called us up because she was right up in the middle of talking about the Gospel to one of her friends, so we were able to talk with her and give her a Book of Mormon and help her out. It was a really great lesson, and now we have a new investigator. On Kena's end, he's working up North this week, but he accepted the challenge to give a Book of Mormon to someone while he's up there. And they both have come with us to some lessons and want to go to more, it's so amazing to see how strong they are and also the blessings that are coming. Story example: Kena needs his birth certificate so he and Marie-Rose can get married, but it's in Tahiti. Under the French system either he or his parents have to go there, but they're poor, and in any case for Kena to get his passport, he needs his birth certificate. So, they started working on ordering it online, but since this past Sunday, some members found out and they know someone who works in the town hall in Tahiti, so now they're working on it too helping them out, all fulfilling the promise that we made to Kena before his baptism that if he would commit to living the word of wisdom and the law of chastity and be baptized now, that they're marriage would come with no obstacles. And now it's happening. So amazing to see promises fulfilled. 

That's what I'd like to share with you all this week. The Gospel changes lives, plain and simple.

Love you all,
