Malo e lelei!
This week was a really good week! On Monday we flew to Ha'apai for zone conference. It was another good conference. We had the opportunity to take the elders back to the tiny islands off of Ha'apai ('Uiha and Fakakai). Man it was so fun being on a little boat in the middle of the ocean. The waves were crazy at times and we got pretty wet hahah but it was cool! Ha'apai is a really cool island. Its very long but not very wide. Theres not a lot to do there, everyone that lives there just relaxes and chills at home. They are just livin the life hahah!
On Tuesday we flew to Vava'u...my favorite island! :) We got on another boat in Vava'u to go pick up the Elders from the tiny islands off of Vava'u (Hunga, Niuapapu, Otea). The ocean out here is so beautiful! Once again we were literally on a tiny little boat in the middle of the ocean! There are so many little islands out here with resorts on them and thats it. We Picked up the Elders from Niuapapu and they were saying that every weekend families from the smaller islands come on there boats to spend the weekend there just to go to church. It just amazes me how the gospel is all over the world even on these little tiny islands. I just get so happy talking about it because being able to share the gospel and watch it grow and progress here in the middle of the ocean is so cool. It is such a blessing!
Tonight we are baptizing our investigator and I am so excited for her! Her name is Lina and she has such a desire to be baptized. The work is going so good here. We should hopefully have another baptism next week as well.
This week I want to challenge you guys to go to the temple with a family name :) I've come to realize how important Temple work is and not only that but Family History work. We have an opportunity to give others the same joy and happiness we have and not only that, the Temple is a place we can receive guidance from our Heavenly Father.
I love being a missionary! I cant say it enough! I cant believe I hit my year mark in like 2 weeks...it's so crazy to me! Keep reading your Book of Mormon!! Keep inviting and keep being an example to those around you!
Ofa lahi atu :)
