Cyclone Keni?

Malo e lelei! 

This week was a good week! I'm so happy that I finally had a chance to watch conference and I have to say it was one of the best conferences I have seen. I'm so grateful for a living prophet and with all of the changes hes made you can see the Lords hand in His work and how fast His work is going.

This week we had MLC haha and it was a different meeting. On Tuesday the missionaries from motu ( the smaller outer islands) came by boat so we could have our meeting on Wednesday. I forgot to mention this a couple of weeks ago but it has been raining like crazy here. So bad that the roads were flooding and some houses were flooded and destroyed from the rain. Well the rain finally stopped but then started up again this past weekend. By the time the missionaries got here on Tuesday there was another warning for a cyclone to hit early Wednesday morning. So, Tuesday evening we had to make sure all of the missionaries were at the chapels and everyone was safe. It was said to be a category 3 storm so smaller than the last cyclone but we still need to be ready. Wednesday morning the rain had picked up and the wind was pretty strong but people were still outside driving their cars and walking around hahah. We had planned to have MLC on Wednesday but president wasn't sure if we should have the missionaries drive to the office in the storm or not. When the wind slowed down we texted them to come meet at the office. Two seconds later the wind picked up and we had to text them again and tell them to stay hahah. I swear that happened like 3 times. Finally president told all the mission leaders to come to the office so we could have our meeting. Even though it was raining and the wind was picking up everyone made it safely and we were able to have our meeting in a category 1 cyclone hahaha. Thankfully the storm took a different course and we only got the outer edge of it. I say this all the time but I have one of the BEST mission presidents. He has such strong faith and trust in the Lord. I have learned so much from him and his testimony. I feel s blessed to work with him. 

Today we are headed to Ha'apai and then next week we will go to Vava'u and maybe Eua to have our zone conferences. I always get excited to go visit and see the missionaries in motu. 

I want to share something's I loved and learned from conference. One of my favorite talks was by Massimo De Feo. He talked about the pure love of Christ and how a true sign of a true disciple is the Pure  Love of Christ. I love the new changes with Visiting and home teaching. We now all have the opportunity to Minister just like the Savior did when he was here on the earth. It gives us a chance to pray more for the opportunities to serve others. It was a good week! I love being a missionary. Have a great week! Ofa lahi atu!

This is a picture I tried to get to show you the flooding hahah. This is someone's yard after the rain for 3 straight days. 

This is a car of one of our members hahah every weekend they go out to town and "Pisituki" which means they just go out and play their music really loud for everyone to hear. hahah but my comp was telling me how its like a completion who has the best pisistuki haha. Whats funny is they put the speakers on the outside of the car for everyone to hear. They put as many speakers as they can. So I took a picture with our members car because every Friday he just drives a round to play his music really loud haha.
