Hello this week was a good week! Not a lot happened so i'm sorry a short email again....but we did have a baptism yesterday and it was awesome! We baptized our investigator his name is Aisea. He is the first investigator I have baptized in the mission who doesn't really have a religious background. Most people here know a lot about the bible and go to church every week. Here in Tonga everything closes on Sundays and everyone goes to church. So it was different to teach someone who didn't really have a church background. We really focused on the Book of Mormon with him. We read it with him everyday and he kept all of his reading commitments. When we taught him the Plan of Salvation and we talked about our purpose here in earth we asked him what he thought his purpose was here but he couldn't answer it. By the time he was baptized he could answer it, he knows why he is here and what his purpose is. It was really cool and inspiring!
It's these little experiences that make missionary work so amazing! It was a really good busy week. Next week we have mission tour with Elder Cardon the area 70 so that will be fun and exciting! Also I hit 9 months this week. Man time is going by so fast. Missionary work is the best! I love you all have a great week :)
Ofa atu!

Note from Mom......While briefly emailing back and forth with Kenidee today I asked her if there was anything she needed me to send with her Christmas package. She said...."Could you send me something for my hair to leave in it at night to help......refresh it....I guess?? I don't know how to explain it or say it in English anymore! Hahah!"
I think she was trying to say a leave in conditioner!! This made us laugh, I wonder if her dreams are on Tongan now?!?! 😂 She also said "Could you send me some toothpaste? I bought some from Costlow😃 (Tonga's Costco) and it is SO OLD I almost threw up!" 😳 😷 haha.. Real problems! :)
