This week was still slow but there was good and bad to it!

We had our class to teach the doctrines of the gospel to everyone who wanted to come and there were about 80+ people there with about 8 nonmembers! So it was good! We went around to the members who were the ones that came with the nonmembers and haven’t really gotten an investigator from it but one girl said it was completely different from what she had seen the guy preach on TV so I felt like it was good and a success! The bad thing is that the two wards here argue all the time so they told us that if we do it combined again that they don’t want to do it. So we have to split it and have one for Navutoka 1st Ward and one for Navutoka 2nd Ward..... annoying!!!!  And one bishop told us the topic we picked, the scriptures of the church with most the discussion on the BOM, was a horrible choice and that we need to teach Tithing or the Godhead, which would just cause contention and was not something you would teach someone right away anyways. The Godhead isn’t even a lesson.  It’s just something that you go over quickly to help them understand.... but ya so that ward is being difficult and won’t do class this week.

But other than that it was good week! We got a new investigator yesterday but it’s another kid close to the house of the one we got our first day here.... so I don’t know what will happen when we commit him to baptism. The zone leaders forgot my adapter but we are going to get it today, and hopefully I can get on later! We are just early today because we have to go to town and get my comp some new shirts.  There is a girl from an area in Vava'u that I worked at that is in Texas working right now so I am trying to get her address so that Kayleigh can get a small Christmas package to her! Elder Naeata would love anything you can get him! Anyways, thanks for everything!

Love you all!  Elder Mani

P.S.  OK this computer just deleted all my pictures on my memory card...... annoying and aggravating....... so no pictures. I just plugged it into a slot in this laptop and it showed up as a shortcut and said it had a virus. The virus reader is in Arab or Russian or something so I just clicked something and it deleted it all!  I just gotta take a lot of pics now to remember stuff..... Oh, and the freaking card reader is lost.  The zone leaders just used my adapter and someone stole it........ I hate the freaking way people are here......
