Another Slow Week

This week was another slow week with only a couple lessons taught but we did do some good stuff! We went to a pineapple (faina) field and picked some pineapples to send with my companion’s cousin to the main island for some other missionaries there. We went and delivered them at night to him before he left back on the boat with his recent wife who is a Palangi from Australia so it was nice talking to someone else who was learning the language haha. When we were done gathering the pineapples, we stopped on a bridge and took some pictures. It was fun.  

Other than that it was just trying to get more people to teach! We have 7 investigators hoping to baptize 3 this week but it all depends on what their parents say since they are all under 18. A lot of the kids we are teaching are friends of the kids who hang around us all the time. We are soon teaching a kid’s dad because he isn't a member but idk when that will start. I am doing good though! I don't know if I have gained or lost weight....I sweat so much I am hoping I am losing it so I can come home with a 6 pack haha! But ya just the typical struggles with the language but it is coming!!! I just need to study Vocab!!!!

My package from you is at the office. They seem to get there but some Zone leaders take packages...... we will see if I get it cuz they brought other packages but not mine this past time.... one of my friends that came to Tonga with me works near the office so he sees it if I get stuff.

I’m in Tuanekivale now at a member’s house. This village is the one next to where Vika grew up! But there are one to two transfers before Vika gets here so I don't know where I will be then. Let me know about when she’s coming. Tell her she can email me like the week before she comes so we can figure it out! Love you!!! Ryker is getting huge! won’t even remember who I am! Neither will my other niece or nephew ;) haha!  Anyways love you all! :)

More stuff you can send:

 more ties
 another memory card
 another journal
 a 6 inch ruler
 anything :) haha

p.s. One of the scripture cases needs to be longer. The Tongan BOM is long ha sorry.... it is fine if you can’t find one... it’s like 1.5 inches longer since the language is more complicated so instead of fatter they made it longer to fit it all.
