hi friends! 
this week went by pretty fast and a lil scatterbrained but her' goes! 

i went on exchanges! my old comp elder naikasau (longest comp too i was with him for 4.5 monies straight) is now a zone leader in my zone! so i got to have a 1 day relive the glory days exchange! he's such a great guy and it was great for elder imae too cuz he's really new and he was able to learn a ton from the other zone leader elder piol! 

john got the priesthood! dude it's so great and also a lil funny. there's a institute class held in etas. only like 6 or 7 people go. 4/7 are people that i have taught and baptized or reactivated. really good! but a lil funny heh. it's so great too cuz john is now sharing the gospel with his family and his twin brother and it's so great! he's such a bro. wow. 

transfers came!!!! and guess what!!!! i'm! staying. which is still good! at the end of the upcoming month i'll have spent 6 monies in etas. wow. what a blast. it's been quite a ride and it's not over! 

i found this mama in teoma who is a wizard with fabric (like makes and sells dresses and shirts and such at the market) but she got fed up with going all the way from her house in the bush to town every day to sell her stuff. so now she just stays at the house. so i gave her some fabric and she's gonna make me some sicckkkkk neck ties. wow. it's gonna be so grand. 

there was a primary program on sunday! and a bunch of less actives who send their kids to church but just sit at home themselves for whatever reason. came to church! our lil church was packed! but the microphone didn't work so we couldn't hear what the lil kids were saying but they sang a bunch of primary songs and it made me think of all the primary programs and such that i was in back in the day. wayyyyyyyyyyy back in the day. wow im old. 

dude! conference is next week! what!! dudee it's gonna be so legit! i hope i get to listen to it in english! while the translators are amazing, it's just not the same without the voices of the apostles and the first presidency. #stoked

guys. i am currently in the lil baby books in the book of mormon. ya kno enos jarom and omni. and what the fetch! there's so many legit scriptures in there that i've been pondering about and treasuring this past week. literally gold scriptures. (heh) highly reccommend if you fellas haven't read those lil books recently. they're like only 2 pages each and they are amaze. read themmmm we're so busy whenever i do get time to study it's so great cuz it's like i have a chance to recharge my testimony and spiritually feast as i read and ponder and pray.
(one question i've been pondering recently is: what is the connection between the heart mind and soul? spiritually speaking. cuz in scrips it says. my soul hungered. the words sank into my heart. my mind was troubled... any thoughts??? please send a email my p days are so boring.) 

since i only send this letter to my dad and a few friends i actually have no idea how many people read this every week. so, if you read this fellow family members, send me a lil email maybe?

dude this week i've been marveling at the idea of missionary work. there is nothing else like it in the whole world. only in missionary work do you cry with people, laugh with people, see the light and love of god light up in people. go into the world and pull people out of the pain and anguish. it's literally so amazing. if only i could hug all of my investigators. oh well. a firm hand shake will have to do. 

can i just say. this church is true. it's not something that is in question. it is a fact. and all the truths that are attached to it. joseph smith. the restoration. the plan of salvation. the resurrection. the temple. the priesthood. it is all true. there is no way it's not true. and if you (whoever is reading this far into this email) want to know of the reality of that fact. read the book of mormon. think about it. pray about it. what are you willing to give up to know it's true? to know god. 10 minutes? 20? it's not necessarily easy. but it is 900% worth it.

that's all words wise. woot. 
that's all for now.

this lil toddler is literally the best. her name is simah. she walks around the whole village like she owns the place. thumb in mouth and bottle in the other hand.
lizards are the best. #davidvsgoliath. 
people carry all their freshly washed laundry from the river back to the house on this path. #toogood #skill

how to make a road. scrape it flat then drip water on it to stop the dust and it hopefully becomes a pothole free dirt road with minimal dust.
