Sorry again no pictures! It
still isn't reading the card!! But this week was awesome!!!!!!! Elder Haleki
and I were the first people in the world to celebrate July 4th in 2014! We
stayed up, just til midnight, to celebrate!! It was awesome haha! He made an American
flag when he was in Niua so we put that up, sang songs about 'Merica, and ate
cookies before heading to bed haha! I love the 4th of July!! Our neighbors have
fireworks so we shot some off on the 4th and the 5th!!! It was awesome1 All the
kids at our neighbors house were having a blast!
One of the kids who stays
with them sometimes is a student at Liahona but he is from Papua New Guinea. He
stays in the dorms there but on school breaks they go out to like
"adoptive" families so that they don't feel too far away from home!
His name is Tinirau and he is really funny. We always talk about Papua and his
life and stuff when he comes over. Even he was excited when we were shooting
off the fireworks, mortars and everything! haha Last night the Liahona rugby team
came and ate over at our neighbor’s house because the kid my age there is the
team captain. So they all ended their fast together last night as a team with
so much food!
This area is weird to me
cuz they don't expect us to do that much anyways or have that much work! They
understand that it’s hard, maybe cuz other missionaries slacked off before but
they just love that we had 3 baptisms our first transfer! We have another one
planned for this week so we are hoping that that still goes through!
The language is still a
struggle but I have realized something on my mission.... I am the most average
person I know! There is nothing I am "great" at and nothing I
really "suck" at! I am just average... so I have accepted that I will
never be the best at something, but if I don't try, there is no way I will ever
be anywhere with that thing! So I just do my best and the Lord will bless me
with the rest that I NEED not what I WANT....
It was really weird not
being home for the 4th, but hey you guys better save me fireworks next year!!!!
We will light some off when I get home next July 11th!!!! haha I need to do it.
I love fireworks!!! I wish I had real American burgers here.
The ones here taste like meatloaf. We
didn't eat anything exciting this week but I never get full anymore.... I could
eat for DAYS!!!!! You thought I could
eat like crazy at home....... not even close haha! Good thing I work out some or I would be
FAAAAAAAAAAATTTT!!!
Love you all!
Elder Mani
