I have figured out this past week that the work is harder in this area than I thought for 1 reason-the High Chiefs. We cover 7 villages in our area, but only in one village are people allowed to convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In all the villages you can literally convert to any other church, just not the true church I guess. We have found so many prepared people but just wont get baptized because they would get kicked out of the village. Other villages have rules of paying between $300-$800 dollars to the village to convert to this church. This island is crazy.
Life is really good out here though, we have 2 baptisms this next week for these kids. One of these kids was just an absolute miracle from the Lord. She went to her primary baptism but when as they were filling out her paper they figured out she is actually 9 years old, long story short she will be a convert baptism this week haha. Her name is Seepa, look below for a picture. The church is true and I am so happy to be where I am and doing what I
am doing!
Seepa on right
