SORRY LIFE IS BUSY BUT HERE ARE SOME PICS

Just one cool story about how great our one investigator is... His name is Waqa and he has been the absolute most golden person in the world. One night he stayed up the whole night reading the Book of Mormon and the next day he called us in the morning and confirmed with us about church. Just making sure we were coming to church with him... hahah I've never had someone confirm with us about church.  He is the man.

HEY FAM

Well it was a great week this week. No meetings or anything to go to this week, so we just got out there and just pounded the pavement. LOVE IT. Met some way cool people and some way savage people that tossed dogs on us and things but aint no one stopping the work of the Lord. I'll send heaps of pics but I just wanted to tell you about one awesome thing that happened this week.

So in my old area in Suva we taught a guy the whole time I was there named "Joji" this guy is the man. We were honestly just like best friends just always joking around and having fun, and he was such a great investigator. He was always coming to church and all, but the problem was he lived in the same house with his girlfriend who is actually an RM. He lived with her and her family. They probably weren't breaking the law of chastity but he still had to move out first. It takes a while to find places to live here in Suva so it took him a while but three weeks ago he finally moved out. He moved out of his house about right when I came back here to Suva! Since I'm so close I had the opportunity to do his baptismal interview, and could see how ready and excited he was for baptism. And then he actually asked me to perform the ordinance! I was honored. SO on Saturday we both got to get into all white jumpsuits and I got the opportunity to baptize my bestfriend, George Francis. After the baptism I watched him and his girlfriend in tears hugging each other, because now they have started their journey to get sealed together next May! Church is true everyone and I love it! Love you all.. have a great week!

Well great week this week. Definitely were busy to say the least. We dealt with all of missionary transfers, all of the missionaries leaving and all of the new missionaries coming in all in a couple days and tried balancing it out with some missionary work in our area.... crazy times but we got everything we needed to get done. I sent Elder Kubera home, one of my past companions... as well as Elder Afatasi, my companion right now. So happy to see them go. Holy cow they were the best missionaries and they were both extended so they definitely earned that day! Oh I also got a new companion named Elder Green! Wow he is the man from Ganola, Utah. We have worked around each other a lot, so we are just excited!!!

Got to go eat burgers with our favorite senior couple in the world the Edmunds! Literally like another mom and dad for us out here.

SUP GUYS

Well this week was way crazy. We flew out right after emails on Monday up to Lobasa on the northern island of Vanua Levu for zone conferences. It was our last zone conference of the transfer and definitely a good one to go out on.3of my areas were up there, and it's just my favorite place in the mission. But literally the day after we got home we sat with President for nearly the whole day finalizing transfers for the mission. Funny story though. We were so tired from the trip we knocked out for the whole plane ride, and on the plane we were sitting right by President and Sister Layton. They didn't say anything but the next day when we came into President's office, he had a picture of me and Elder Afatasi knocked out as his screensaver on the desktop, and was like "Elders I have a new screensaver" hahahah so funny. I'll send that picture over for you guys.

But anyways doing transfers was just such a neat experience. The spirit in the room was strong, and it was just another testimony to me that this work is really led from on high. The church is true and that's all there is to it. President made the decision on some of the transfers but it was amazing how involved we were in the process. He asked us for our opinion on every single decision and most of the time he just did what we thought. SO cool to be able to help missionaries by putting them into situations they can be successful!

Other than that everything is great. Work in our area is going good, even though we don't have too much time to work in it, and the mission is moving great! I love this work!!! and love you all
