Well everyone, this is it, Elder Kessler's last week, or as we say in mission lingo, he's about to "die." We served a total of 9 months together between or three times as companions, and he's become one of my best friends, and he's an amazing missionary. He's spent two years here, and now it's time for his family to get to enjoy him as much as I and the people here have.
The biggest news for this week is about Bernadette. You remember Bernadette? The sister from Lifou who's pregnant and came to Noumea to give birth that we set a baptismal date with? Well, we stopped by yesterday to say hi since we were in the neighborhood, and she told us she was having contractions and would probably be going to the hospital that day or the next, so in all likelyhood she's there now. We also started teaching a new investigator, she's the mother of a young member who is the only member in her family. She asked for a blessing and after giving the blessing we asked if she wanted to take the missionary lessons, and she said yes and asked to start right then and there. It was a great lesson and she has a lot of potential, especially since she already has family in the church.
All I can really say right now is that Elder Kessler and I have been extraordinarily blessed recently with miracles and people to teach. For a sector that was and has always been a little dead, it's been amazing to see what a lot of work can do, and the blessings that flow. I think that's a pattern for life, the Lord will always bless us according to the effort we put into something. Even if it looks hopeless or we're discouraged, if we keep enduring and keep pushing, the Lord blesses us as we stay close to Him.
Love you all! See you in a transfer!
