Women's Conference

Lo'u aiga,

This week was awesome!!

Lots of door knocking but we got 35 referrals and 4 new investigators!! YAY!!!!

SO it was SUPER busy this week!!!! Super fun!!

We had to call the police to help this lady who we found just sobbing on the sidewalk... and now the police are here at the ashnet where we are emailing!! LOL!! People are going to wonder why the sister missionaries are always by the police!! I just realized how scary that probably sounds... I have no idea why the police officers are here... so don't worry about it :)

Transfers are this Thursday! So we will see what will happen!

Last pday we made kopai with Beverly so I attached a picture of me eating kopai and of Beverly and her baby girl!! Beverly and Napolean came to Sacrament Meeting on Sunday!! but left early so he could play the piano for his uncle's Methodist church... baby steps!! :)

We did MTC splits this week for the Missionaries in the MTC who are about to come into the field! My companion was Sister Leota from Samoa, she is coming to this mission but to the English program!!

We watched Womens Conference yesterday!! SO GOOD!!! I loved Sister Oscarson's talk!!!! And Elder Uchtdorf's talk!!!! Conference time is the best!!!!!

I don't know that I have much else to say for this week! We are just working hard trying to expand our teaching pool and find people that are interested in hearing THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!! CHRIST'S CHURCH IS RESTORED IN ITS FULLNESS!!!!!!!

Love you all so much!! Look for miracles!!! Share he message!! :)

alofa tele atu!!

Door Knocking

Lo'u Aiga,

This week was all door knocking all day long!!!

But we got two new investigators so hopefully we will be able to have some good lessons with them in the upcoming week!!

Zone conference was awesome! We had some great talks about helping our investigator's pray, filling our minds with the words of life, and reflective listening!!!

Also there was a competition to see who had the tidiest car and Sister Taugaele and I were one of the winners!!! :)

We didn't get to teach hardly any lessons this week, which was sad! But something else we talked about in zone conference was measuring our success and how we should be able to feel successful every single day of our missions. What decides our success is not the numbers, but the effort and diligence, and obedience you had while you worked. Also if you helped others, and felt the spirit!! Despite not teaching many lesson this week I feel like we had a extremely successful week. Even if the only soul we brought back to the Kingdom of God was mine own!!

I love you all so much!! Alofa tele atu!!

Manuia le vaiaso!!

Sooo this week happened...

Lo'u Aiga,

This week has been epic!! Epic-ly what I'm not quite sure but all I know is that it was definitely that!!

Tilomai never came back from Hastings... She got in a fight with her family that lives here and decided not to come back! We tried to call her to ask if we could send the Wellington missionaries to her and she started avoiding our calls.... so sad.

So she is not getting baptized on Saturday but Iona is!!!! Iona is the man, he has changed so much!! His interview is on Wednesday with the baptism on Saturday!!! What a blessing that he is working so hard to change his life! We are so proud of him! He has taken the lessons many times from many other missionaries!

There were a few days this week that were  SO BITTERLY COLD we almost died!! We had planned to do 12 week and language study in the morning, but were sick of the flat, so we decided to go out and knock doors instead.... so cold!!!!! We lost feeling in our arms below the elbows and our legs below the knee!! I was wearing my ugly shoes (they aren't broken in yet) and when we got home I discovered that not only had they given me blisters on my heels but had ripped off and were bleeding way bad!! LOL!!!! So that was not very fun as I got feeling back!! So I've been alternating between ugly and worn out shoes for the rest of the week, waiting for my heels to heal! They are healing way fast though so that's good!!! Miracles!!! Miracles happen every day!!

We have had some cool referrals that we have been working on turning into investigators!!

Napolean asked us to come back and teach him lesson 1!!!!! Tomorrow!! I am so exctited!!!!

We also had two services on Saturday (potential investigator family and Napolean's family), we took the Leapai family (and their lawn mower) me and Tausili took turns mowing the lawn while everyone else chatted with the family!! Yessss! Missionary work!!!!

Sister Taugaele and I are so exhausted... the plan was to sleep today, but we had to take other sisters to a car dealership.. (I'm always the guide because I've spent my whole mission up here!)... maybe we will try to catch a few zzz's before we have to take them back!!

Alofa tele atu!!

Oh and I've eaten heaps of kopai this week!! everyone keeps making it for me because they know its my favorite!!!! That's what that big empty bowl was!! LOL!! And that was a funny bumper sticker I really liked... sorry its blurry!!
