This is it! Sprint all the way.
Long time no type! Hey!!!
Wonderful other Faiths we are teaching are LOVING the Book of Mormon. They share with us that the writers of the Bible got Christ's divinity wrong, and we are deceived about Christ. Then we ask them if they have ever heard of the Book of Mormon, and explain it's role and effect on our personal lives. They brighten up and open the book, happy!
What would we do without the Book of Mormon?
We would be SO lost!!!
This week, we were led to a woman whom we gave a copy to. She immediately began reading it. She read the entire first chapter out loud. We explained the Introduction. We showed her how Joseph prayed and was answered, and God would answer her. She knelt down, pressed the book to her chest and closed her eyes with her husband. She prayed, and waited for the answer. The Spirit was strong! They were aglow when we told them about Christ's Church It was so special!! They promised they will come this Sunday!
It is because of people like her that I say, "The Lord blessed me with the deepest prayer of my heart: Extension." Not going home till November.
You only know something's worth, by working for it.
You only know someone's worth, by serving them.
You only know your worth, when you take time to realize how God serves you.
This week, it really clicked even deeper that we FIND the Lord in the serving of His Children
BECAUSE
that is WHERE He is. We find only if we lose, we lost only if we keep! President Layton, this Gospel is the most beautiful thing in the world..s!!!!!
Elder Tony's last day... such a beautiful time! He is so pure. Oh, he's one of the purest in the mission. So humble, so meek, so willing, so peaceable, so loving, so selfless, so full of dignity. We had a wonderful time writing to each other and hiding gifts for each other. We had sweet last moments in the work, having fun, and saying goodbyes. He really loved Nadi, and wrote in the Area Book, showed me the last few locations to know, bore his last testimony and wishes to the Saints, and left happy and ready.
Elder Mokie's first day... we missed each other! This Elder is from PNG! He and I met a year ago. There was no adjustment to make--we already click! He smashed out 16 powerful lessons in 3 days. We love working together! Haha. He is such a gentle, good natured Elder!
We now have a car. It is the same car I used to drive.
This is a beautiful day.
It is AMAZING to have perfect click with the Holy Ghost's voice. God waits for us to listen, not the other way around. I know when He's speaking to me. I know that feeling--and it's right every time!!! President, it is just like President Monson said, "To act on a prompting and later find out it was the answer to someone else's prayer," nothing in life is sweeter. It is REAL. I know that when we tune to acting on good, that frequency will grow more natural, and the static will fade.
More next week!
Love,
Elder Howard
Long time no type! Hey!!!
- Finally, rich, effective, powerful short lessons. We are teaching now about 30 lessons per week to hungry, wonderful souls.
- Lives are dramatically, and truly changing. Marriages being restored, healed, made eternal.
- Making good progress in the Comprehensive Hindi Language Book for all the missionaries that will ever come through this mission after me. 15,000 verb and verb forms noted down! This will be a groundbreaking breakthrough--the first real book on the Fiji-Hindi Language
- Saints pouring in! 7 people are full strong in serving in capacities in the Wards here
- Focus just on those TRULY INTERESTED, give them priority

- We had 9 of the people we are teaching come to church this past Sunday... they all came an hour early! We arrived and there they were!!! We were delighted! They came completely on their own as families, and felt the peace of the Chapel.
