Painting at the Palace

Hello again :)

We got to do service this week! About 40 Elders got to go to the King's palace here in Tonga and paint the fence! It was a way cool experience with the King of Tonga even pulling up while we were there and saying thank you to us all. Apparently pictures are against the rules butttttttt everyone snuck some in haha.  Our baptism this week though wasn't able to go through because our investigator moved to another village.... And the other girl we were planning on baptizing got married haha so we have to go back out and find some more people to teach! There was also a ball kinda thing for the youth here and I got some pictures, mostly just with my companions family... not much else happened this week! 

Coronation is on the 4th and president said there will be about 20+ missionaries at the Coronation picking up trash and stuff so hopefully I get to be there! haha They are planting trees and flowers at the palace this week, don’t know if I will be a part of that though.  I guess we will just see! And that last week I am here is like the Alumni week for Liahona, the church high school here that is right across the street from me so I will be seeing soooo many people from America here haha it will be fun! Love you guys!

Popcorn and Discouragement

This week was another struggleeeeeeee……as always it seems here.... The main struggle is with the companion, being in his area with his family, his friends, his members, he just always wants to be with them, not doing work.... And I don’t know how to change it. So we honestly do nothing. I try and say "Oh lets go and check this investigator" or anything like that and he'll just say no or that we will do it later.... Our numbers for this week were horrible and it sucks cuz I don't want to end my mission like this, I want to do work!!!! But..... I can’t do it alone..... so yeah that’s my struggle... trying to get my companion to realize that we need to work and not just chill at members houses and wait for them to just bring investigators.... We need to show them the way to invite and make family plans and stuff like that.... Hopefully we can get some stuff like that going!  I’ve explained the problems to the ZL and MP but nothing seems to change.
