Man what a week. This week we had two baptisms and it was awesome! We baptized a 10 year old boy named Avoki and another guy named Ofa. One of the wards we work in is a very smart ward and they love missionary work. They do a missionary week every 3rd week of the month and they do all sorts of activities. On Thursday we held a "Self Reliance Open House" and we invited Non member families to come show us what they do to provide for their families. It was really cool to see because most people here in Tonga are very self reliant. We invited two of our investigators and their names are Moana and Kirri. They are both from Fiji but they live here and make "Roti" for a living. They have to wake up every morning at 4:00 just to make their order of Roti to sell. Its awesome! And then on Friday we had our baptism! :)
We started a Book Of Mormon challenge as a mission and President has asked us to highlight anything that has to deal with Christ. If you want a new way to read your scriptures focus on words about Christ like (Messiah, God , Thee, etc.) and I promise you will learn so much more than you thought you could! I was listening to a talk by David A. Bednar called the Character Of Christ and something he said was " There would have been no atonement, Except for the Character of Christ" Take a minuet to think about that quote. Christ loves us so much so he died for our sins. His character is the example we should all strive to become.
Ofa lahi atu! Have a good week :)
