River Crossing

Last P-day I got to ride my first famous "port vila bus". Our truck was getting serviced so we had to take buses to get around. We also had an awesome family house night with the second counselor in our ward. Shared a few good verses in the Book of Mormon Ether 12:6-9 on faith. 

Tuesday we went into another Tanna community and found this return sister missionary named Winnie. She showed us around the village and we started teaching this little 10 year old boy named Tino that they look after. They kinda took him in after he lost his parents and now he's been coming to church so he might get baptized this month! 

Wednesday we went into the bush to a place called RangoRango. Some missionaries baptized a few people who lived up there but their baptismal records never got properly done, so we spent quite a bit of time trying to find them. Twas a really really pretty area. I didn't really take any pictures unfortunately.

Thursday we saw Marian again! We invited her to be baptized and she said she'd think about it. She did come to church for the first time this Sunday though which was awesome! We are kind of hoping she can get baptized this month. 

Friday we went to yet another Tanna village behind the airport. The only way to get to most of the people was to cross a river. We rolled up the pants and went for it haha. It was actually super cool. We met this little 10 year old kid named Samuel and he showed us around the whole village. He even walked us all the way back to our house haha. 

Saturday was solid. We started the day teaching that french speaking family and we did a little service project for them too. The papa has a date for the 26th so were working hard to have that happen. Later we met some members in blacksand. We are trying to work alot more with the members to get referrals. There is honestly no better way to do missionary work! 

Sunday we had 4 investigators come to church! We also had quite a few solid lessons. We met this girl named Marie in our ward and she is getting ready to put in her mission papers so she said she'd help us work in blacksand.

Bout it for this week! Looking forward to mothers day calls next week! 

Love,

Elder Burbank
