What a powerful week! I finally got to watch conference and it was amazing. This week started out a little rough because Ive still been so sick but everyone here has been so great and loving!! They bring me food and always call to check on me. Wednesday it was so bad I had to stay in, but I got a blessing and Im feeling a lot better :) We only have a fridge and a sink so the members bring us food everyday. Breakfast the other day was spaghetti, bread and Oreo's! haha!
Im a little bummed because we didn't get to have our baptisms last week because of conference but this week is the week! We hate pushing them back but our investigators are so great and faithful that I know they will keep being faithful and prepare for their baptisms this week.

Anyways, I have so much to say about conference :) but not a lot of time so I'm just going to pick little pieces from some of my favorite talks. I just want to say how grateful I am for the testimony of our prophet. He was so powerful in the short time he talked but you could tell his love for this gospel is so strong! He talked about having a testimony of the gospel and how important it is to have your own testimony in these times. I totally agree with him. Coming to know and understand the gospel for yourself is one of the most powerful conversions. A steady testimony of Jesus Christ will lead us to safety. I also love L. Whitney Clayton's talk. He talked about not always understanding why the Lord asks us to do something but we just need to do it! Trusting in the Lord will bring blessings into our lives that can only come through simple Practices of faith. Praying with real intent, Scripture study, temple attendance, and keeping the Sabbath day holy. These are only a few but they are so important that we should constantly do them. " God always blesses us when we are obedient, but rarely does he show us his time table. Thats where faith, hope, and charity come in. Trust in the lord and whatsoever he says unto you....Do it!" One of my favorite quotes said during conference!
I don't have lots of time but just remember to constantly keep the words of conference with you. The Holy Ghost is there to be our guide. Listen to it. Trust in the lord. be faithful and endure to the end :) I also forgot my camera cord so no pictures this week...sorry! I love you all! The mission is great and i'm grateful for all of your love and support!

SISTA SYLVESTER
Mom to answer some of your questions.......I get up at 6:30 and work out. My companion and I study until 10 and then we leave the house. We usually meet with members because they are our best resource for new investigators. We teach at night and then we find time during the day to do comp and language study. We are not allowed to be out when its dark unless we have a lesson so we are usually in by 7. Right now I am the only Palangi (White) sister missionary in the whole mission. Man its a little intimidating! I am the 9th Palangi sister to serve here in Tonga. Most of the missionaries here are from Tonga. There are very few from other places and if they are they are Tongans from the states. haha!
