![]() He said, "This church is the only true church and that means this is how I'm going to return to God with my family. He said he knows this church is true and he and his family are the priority. He said he didn't even care about what the other villagers thought. ![]() Same and his wife told us that when they walked down to the chapel that morning and he put on his white shirt and tie, all of the villagers eyes were staring them down! He compared it to arrows and spears being thrown at them as they made the commitment to come to church. Last night after church we sat down with them. I could literally just fill pages and pages of what this guy is sacrificing to do to bring his family to this church. Same is one of the most devoted investigators I have ever had. We've been meeting with them quite frequently. All the members were way happy to see him because it had been so long! Same, the methodist preacher, and his entire family came as well. It was pretty gross but cool hahaha! Fijians amaze me with their medicine! He's all good now! So this week our branch had branch conference and it was pretty awesome! Over 80 people showed up and 6 of our investigators were able to make it! It was a powerful branch conference and to see our tiny chapel filled made our mission dream! One of our less active members, Brother Fong, came to church! We were so happy to see him. Elder Bond put it on his boil and by the time we got back to the flat it had busted open with blood everywhere. Later that night we returned to her house to grab the medicine. She told us it would take awhile to make the medication because she'd have to hike up to the mountains to grab some plants. They said it's a curse and that it needed to be taken care of by the village medicine lady. ![]() Elder Bond accepted hahaha! So he shows her aunt the boil and all their faces when they saw it looked super scared! They told us that this wasn't any normal type of boil. She was super nice and told us that her aunt knows this ancient fijian massage that would make it go away. We told her he had a beka and it hurts pretty bad. Tuesday night Elder Bond asked for a blessing and the next day when we were walking around Baba village one of our investigators, Sister Ana, asked what was wrong with Elder Bond. A LOT has happened! I don't know how I'm going to explain it all with my limited time but I hope you all enjoy this email! So.last Tuesday morning we woke up and Elder Bond had this pretty gnarly boil in his armpit.Pretty gross! In fijian, a boil in the armpit is called a beka! It can be pretty painful as I assume you all can imagine. Bula Vinaka! Witch doctors, boils and miracles oh my! hahaha! This week has been pretty crazy out here in Levuka.
