Dear Family and Friends,
Happy New Year! We've been talking with people a lot about what they want to do in this coming year. One of our investigators, Kelvin, decided to make a big New Years resolution and was baptized on New Years Eve! It was a very great baptism at the beach. He and his recent convert brother Keith are both wanting to go to the temple as soon as possible. We are working on converting the whole family: Kelvin is the eldest, Keith is a triplet with a sister that we are teaching and a brother that the elders are teaching. We are hoping that somewhere along the way the youngest brother Kelly will become interested; hope springs eternal :) We had a great FHE with all of them where we talked about the story of Nehemiah and how he had to build a wall around Jerusalem. It's something that President Egbert had taught us about to help "build our wall" with the members. We focused on Nehemiah 4:6.
A couple days ago something funny happened. Our branch mission leader, Bro Baldeo, showed up at our door at 7:30 in the morning with doubles, Coke, and flowers. Sister Tongi says he does that all the time because he really thinks of us as his daughters. He's a funny guy :) Apparently he has 21 children O.o
So far it's been a great 2016 (!!!!). I have restarted the Book of Mormon and have been looking up all the footnotes along the way. It really helps me to understand the background and other crossreferences so that I can understand the scriptures better. It's slow, but good.
Hope your New Years was good! Love all of you!
Sister Aida Tibbitts
