Marriage proposal

Talofa friends!!!

I can't believe it's Monday already! This week has gone by so fast! Life is good & Sister Long & I are having so much fun working hard in our part of the Lord's vineyard♡ Seriously everyday we're laughing so hard & it's the best. Love her!!! The saying is true, "If you're not having fun, you're not doing it right!"

☆ We had a lesson with our recent convert, Roger, on Tuesday & OH MY you guys. In the middle of talking about daily repentance, he turns to my companion & goes, "So what if... for example... well... how do you tell a sister missionary that you love her & want to marry her but you know it's wrong because she's young (as he gestures to me) & I'm old." (He's about 55) 

AHHHH!!!! So Sister Long told him to pray about it & talk to the bishop & then we got out of there as soon as we could. Oh no Roger let's just say that after talking to our mission President, the ward will now be taking over his new member lessons & we will be avoiding him. rip.

☆ we had zone conference and interviews with President Rodarte! It was so good and I love him!!! We talked about conversion & deepening our own testimony so that we can help others. Such a good spiritual boost! I love being a missionary!

☆ so many good lessons this week! We invited Dale, Yvonne, Mark & Latrice, and Suzzie & Cara to pray about baptism.  Please keep them in your prayers!!

☆ During Yvonne's lesson, we retaught some of the Restoration & it all clicked with her. It was so cool to see. We were talking about the Great Apostasy & showed her a picture of Jesus Christ ordaining the Apostles with Priesthood power. After Christ had died & was Resurrected, the people became so wicked that the Priesthood power was taken off the earth and the gospel He established was not there anymore (Amos 8:11-12;) But the people had just seen the Savior so they took what they remembered from Him & built their own church. They were just missing that key ingredient, the power & authority of God! But through the Prophet Joseph Smith, the Priesthood and Christ's church has been restored! This is God's church and it contains the fulness of the gospel! We are so blessed!

As we were teaching her this, her eyes got all big and you could tell that the spirit was helping her understand. "This makes sense!" Ahhh it was just so good. The gospel is simple & true! It's so cool to see people feel & understand the gospel!!

I love you all!! This church is true:) Keep up the small & simple things to deepen your conversion.

love,

SISTER COON!!
