hello friends.
this week has been pretty great! we're doing a lot of
planning for the things that will happen for the christmas party of
missionaries and people flying in from outer islands and working out the kinks
of skyping families from cafe's with wifi and all that jazz! it's been and is a
lil stressful but also a refining experience as i realize more fully conflict
resolution skills and the importance of clear communication and life skills in
general. hopefully changing and growing for the better!
some fun experiences this week: the family house night we showed
up to 2 hours late... we had a district activity that ended in the afternoon
and we were so focused on doing laundry and other p day stuff that we
completely forgot the fhe until 1.5 hours after it was set to start... sped
safely down south to the fhe and had a pretty good experience! learning the
importance of writing things down and putting reminders!
went on a exchange with the fanafo elders! i went with elder
villianulva who was a zone leader in santo for 7.5 months so. it was great to
be able to have one on one time with him and ask him some details and how to
handle this or that. a great learning experience!
another cool thing. we went back to rata on the request of
the 2nd counselor of the branch(we stopped going to rata cuz everyone is always
busy and no one wants to talk to us.. not that we don't love the people there
but other people need us more) and i got to reunite and catch up with my first
convert! se! he and his mom are still coming to church every week! and his
older sister wants to be married and baptized! im so happy about those people
because that family was like. 100% my (and elder atuake's) sickle that was
thrust. and seeing them happy and strong in their testimony. just makes my day
that much brighter.
taking the church to places it hasn't really been is so
cool. like. being one of the first impressions that people have of the church.
a big responsibility but also the reason why im here! to represent the savior
jesus christ and invite all to come unto him! the only thing is we're kinda low
on books of mormon at the moment and so we don't have enough to give to our
investigators... :'( but the ferry is coming on tuesday. hopefully we'll have
enough to fill our whole truck!!!
that's all for now!
(i have... misplaced. my camera. there's like 3-4 places it
could be and only 1 or 2 of those i can hope to recover it. so. pray that i'll
find my cameraaaaa please i really want it back and i need your prayers
pleaseeeeee thank youuuuuu)
