Thanks again for all of the birthday wishes. You guys are the best! This week was a good week! On Monday we had transfer day and me and my comp were transferred from Kolomotua to Matangiake. We live just around the corner from Presidents house and right across the street from the temple. They call this area "LA" (Little America) because a lot of the houses look American. We were moved here so we can be closer to the mission office because we work so closely with President and we are in the office a lot. Also every single house in our area are members. There's not a single house that doesn't go to the Mormon church. I thought this would make work hard but the members are so good about fellow shipping investigators for us and we actually have two investigators who are wanting to be baptized they just want a little more time. So thats awesome! We are just praying that there time will come to be ready to be baptized.
Last Monday President and Sister Tuione invited us over to have a FHE with a family they have been working with and they asked us to teach the lesson we taught them "The Plan of Salvation" and it was probably one of the best lessons I have ever had. The spirit was so strong. The dad is a single father and they actually had a child pass away a couple years ago so the message really applied to them and you could tell they understood and accepted Heavenly Fathers plan. We taught them again last night and extended the invitation to be baptized and all of the kids accepted but their Dad was having a hard time accepting it. He works at a catholic school here and he is very well know. So his thoughts are if he joins the church he will loose his job and maybe some of his friends. We talked with president last night after the lesson and he said "Its interesting to see what the Lord wants us to do. " Man President is so in-tune with the spirit. He is definitely a man called of God. I hope and pray that their dad will come around. I know the blessings the gospel will bring to him. I know his children being baptized will be a great example to him and maybe he will understand the importance of being baptized. Man I love being a missionary! This is the best work and gift ever! This week we welcomed 20 new missionaries to the mission and half of them were new Palangi (White) elders. It was fun being able to share my struggles and experiences with them. I was able to look back and see how far I've come and testify to them that the lord lives and he loves them :)
