Elder Huntsman: Happy Valentine's Day!

This week was kinda slow... Our baptisms haven’t been falling through because the people we are working with tell us not to contact our referrals they will just do it. So we tell them when and they don’t always follow through with it... but anyways we are HOPING to get 3 baptisms this week! My last week here maybe because transfers are next week! I like this area. The people are nice! But apparently this next transfer they are putting missionaries in each of the two villages I am in so it would only be one village for me which I don’t agree with having us be in such a small area because we barely can find stuff to do when we are in two villages.... but we will see how it goes!

We are teaching a man who has been baptized multiple times (different names) but still goes to the Catholic Church. We figured he has been taught enough. We don’t need to just sit him down and do the typical lessons but instead just answer the questions he has. Three questions and we went for an hour and a half to two hours because he loves to talk haha and for everything we teach he needs a bible scripture to back it up so that has been hard since every church uses a differently translated bible.... ha but I bore my testimony on the Book of Mormon and how it has helped me and I started crying so he said he was going to go home and read the chapter that I said had helped me the most out here! I think he is beginning to understand us more so we will see!

Other than that it was just my birthday and stuff! And yes mom I did wait til Valentine’s Day to open my Valentine/present haha! Thanks for everything! It has been going good here in Ha'alaufuli and Ta'anea here in Vava'u! This island (Vava’u) really is better to the eyes than Tonga. It is beautiful haha but anyways it is POURING outside! One minute sun, next minute rain haha just like Idaho!!! Anyways all is well here in Tonga!

Sorry if I don’t email next week. It’s transfers and I don’t know what’s going on! Oh yeah so just like at home I would just start getting used to the food, it’s happening here.... There is very little variety so ya it’s the same thing all the time ha but I will live for 17 months!!! Haha love you all!!!
