Malo e lelei!!!!
Kou fiefia he faingamalie ko eni oku ou ma'u keu fai ha ki'i tohi atu he ahoni. :) I cant believe I only have two more p-days after today to email you guys. I want to share a little experience with you guys. At the beginning of this transfer I prayed to Heavenly Father and told him I will do everything I can to give him my all. I want nothing more then to finish strong and not waste one minute. I knew how busy this transfer was going to be with zone conferences and meetings, so I was a little worried I wasn't going to have much time to work in our area. This week we were supposed to be in Vava'u and Ha'apai but plans were changed and Zone conferences start next week so this week we had so much time to work in our area! We had a program this week and we got about 7 new investigators. It was a miracle! One of the wards i'm has struggled with missionary work but this week they totally changed and planned programs and brought people for us to teach. Also, almost all of the new investigators accepted to come to church this Sunday and then continue the lessons next week.! We are so excited! But the best thing that happened this week is we were able to invite our investigator Vesili to be baptized and she said yes! Vesili has diabetes and she has lost both of her legs so she is in a wheelchair. She is really strong in the Weslyan church. She didn't really like us the first time we met with her. We shared a message with her about families and asked to read the first lesson pamphlet. We asked her if it would be okay to come back again and she wasn't really okay with it but she said yes. When we came back she told us that she read the pamphlet and she loved reading about the family. Both of her parents died and she's just had a really rough life. She reminds me of aunt Tracy because she has diabetes and and has had some hard health challenges that she has had to face with. Reading about the family really made her feel good and so we taught the plan of salvation and told her that she will have a chance to see her parents again, if she is baptized. We invited her to be baptized and she didn't even hesitate. She wants to be baptized!! Yay! July 28 Vesili will have the opportunity to enter the waters of baptism :)
It was a good week! I learned a lot this week! We were able to do two exchanges with the STL's in the mission and I was able to work with sis Egan one last time :) Theres a new sister here who is just really struggling with being homesick and dealing with adjusting to the mission. It brought me right back to when I first came in. I know exactly how she is feeling and I was able to share with her that she is not alone. Not only does she have us missionaries and President and Sister Tuione, but she has the Savior who knows everything she is feeling. It was a great reminder to me that we are never alone! Our savior knows everything we feel and are going through! Always remember Him! I love you all have a great week :) Ofa lahi atu!!!
