Good Week

Man was this week a good week! We committed 7 people to baptism!!! Our bishop is mad about some of the stuff we told him though with postponing days and stuff but I don’t care anymore what he thinks. This area was full of baptisms but not one is active! They just baptized to meet there yearly goals. So I think a reason I was put in this area was to make sure that these baptisms are real baptisms and not just doing it just for the numbers! I have more interviews today in another area so hopefully they go good! Tomorrow we have a companion exchange with my old area Navutoka so it will be fun being in my old area again!

So the Aborigine girl we are teaching has been progressing! It’s a little slow but she is doing it! She even told her Pentecostal mom that she was listening to missionaries and starting to come to church and her mom said that’s fine as long as she is praying to the same Jesus Christ haha :) But she is doing good and is liking it! We have a Family Home Evening with her later so hopefully she enjoys that! Her less active husband she even notices is starting to change with us helping them out! Seeing miracles in all that we do here!

A couple of our other investigators have been a struggle either getting to or it feels like their fellowshipper in the ward is just forcing them to be there. There is a girl here who just got back from Japan who has us teaching an 8 year old girl who won’t pay attention to us or say anything during the lessons. So she tries telling us how bad we are and that me asking "Do you believe in Jesus Christ?" is too difficult for the little girl to understand..... frustrating haha! It’s not us if she is being forced to come and listen to us!

But ya this week was good! We had a couple of lessons today and have been finding more productive stuff to do on P-day than just email and sit at the church :) Anyways thanks again mom for the package! Your kahoa is probably the best lole one that I have seen here! (the candy necklace you made :) ) haha it’s awesome :) so don’t forget to do it when I get home ;) hahahhaahha jokes :) Love you all! Thanks for all the Birthday wishes last week!

PS- Don’t worry about signing up to feed the missionaries again.  Just give them your number and say if you are every hungry or your dinner falls through, to hit you guys up! I am going to get super close to the missionaries when I get home cuz I avoided them too much when I was home haha. Plus you should get to know that guy Elder from Samoa.  Samoa is really similar but don’t act like it’s the same cuz it’s not, haha!

Sorry I forgot the adapter but I will send some pictures next week I PROMISE :) Thanks again for the candy necklace, kahoa lole haha :)
