This week was a really good week! Not necessarily with the work but I learned a lot for myself. This week we worked a lot with our less actives. Right now we have a family who is working towards the temple which is so exciting! Thats one thing here in Tonga that I really think we need to focus on. There are a lot of members but most of them have not been through the temple. The temple is so important and so we are really trying to help our less actives get to the temple!
We've been teaching this lady named Fifita and we were feeling really confident with our lessons, but this week she told us that she will never read any of the pamphlets we give her and she doesn't believe anything we've been saying hahah we were really sad. But she told us she enjoys our visits and wants us to keep coming, so we decided we will just continue to share a spiritual thought with her. We are also teaching this lady named Kalo and she said she wants to be baptized but she also told us how she's joined almost every church here in Tonga! haha So she's willing to join ours. We told her that we want her to join not because she can but because she really wants to.
On Saturday the Tonga Rugby played Samoa here in Tongatapu and it was the first time ever playing Samoa in Tonga. Everyone was gone Saturday. Haha I think that was the slowest day in the mission so far. But Tonga won! So that was cool! Mate ma'a Tonga!! After the game everyone was driving around honking their horns like alllll night! Hahah Thats something they do here in Tonga. You know someone is getting married because they honk their horn all the way to the temple!
Anyways this week I learned the importance of giving everything you have to the Lord and completely consecrating yourself. The Lord has everything of ours, all he needs is our will. I love my mission and i'm so grateful to be here in Tonga. I love you all! Have a good week! Ofa lahi atu!!
