Ha'alaufuli and Ta'anea

This week!

So it started out…Tuesday it was POURING rain walking to fafanga (dinner). Then after fafanga we were supposed to walk to my old village for a district meeting so Tu'akalau and I started walking in the pouring rain! It was nice ha but our planners and white handbooks got soaked.... Right when we were getting into the village, they called us and said it was canceled because the Zone Leaders were coming to bring them to the airport to go to Tonga.... So we walked all that way just to go right back haha. We were soooooo soaked!!! But I had a smile the whole time! Surprising I know! But we were able to baptize our Laumalie this week! Mela'ia Hoko! I did the baptism but sorry mom I can’t send pics. I don’t know where my adapter is haha. No surprise there! But this week we plan to have two more baptisms!! Friday night walking back to our house a guy stopped us and said he wants to be baptized so he can serve a mission like us! He was already baptized but not confirmed! So this week we hope to get that all done. He seems excited! We also have two others we are teaching and hope to baptize one of them! We have been working hard and I ALWAYS come home exhausted!!! So I am very happy haha. Yesterday Elder Tu'akalau confirmed Mela'ia so that was good! But my comp has a HUGE angatamaki (boil) growing on his neck (common from infected bug bites). It is pretty gross!!! Haha I can’t handle popping it... it’s gross haha but anyways other than that the week was just another week! Working hard and getting tan/dirty/sweaty/too many things haha!  I am loving it though! 6 months down, 18 to go! Now it’s like a sister missionary!!! Haha anyways they told us they were cooking a dog and some pigs for P-day so I am going to go check that out! Love you all!!!! Oh wait, Mom, so this lady in Ta'anea has a son serving a mission in Papua New Guinea so she said I can be her son this year cuz I think his birthday is in February too! She said she will make me a cake! 3 Families actually said they will make me cake so I am excited for next p day! :) haha Love you guys stay good!

Helaman 14 is a good scripture about Christ’s eternal role!

Much Love,

Elder Hanisimani

P.S.To answer your questions:  Yes Vika and Danny got the package to Tonga. They called from a missionary’s phone. But I don’t know when I will get the package from the mission home.  I still haven’t gotten the Christmas package yet.  Yes I bore my testimony today in one ward after we did the confirmation. One village is helping us a lot and the other I feel is maybe starting to trust us again cuz they see us working! I don’t know how big my village is in miles. Google map it haha! It’s all of Ha'alaufuli and Ta'anea. The Chinese store is just an import store. Everything is good here in my new house. There is a mouse in our attic here too! Electricity and everything works fine but it just feels smaller to me ha!
