EVERYONE

WHATS UP GUYS Such a great week this week. After one of the toughest weeks I've had for a while last week I just feel so blessed right now it's unbelieveable. We went into the week not having any investigators at church or not very many potentials to help us hit our goal. We just committed to each other to just go the extra mile in every little thing in our missionary work and just see what the Lord could do. We tested the Lord this week and wow did he provide. We had 5 investigators at church and are just moving with some momentum now in the work. Its amazing how much the Lord is willing to bless us if we just push a little harder then we have before! Wow I love this work.

Putting on our 2017 glasses and moving on to 2017! hahaha

On Saturday we had one of the best opportunities ever. We started working with Brother Vulaono, who was completely less active a few months ago, and got him back to church and he is now living worthy of a temple recommend. We got to go with him and his wife through a session in the temple! This is us and his family outside. Wow it was such a great day!

And then yesterday we did some good old home teaching with him and another ward member after church!

Just a few pics on the week! Sorry not much time but I love you all!

What's up everyone! Hope everyone is doing good at home. The mission is definitely some hard work but man I'm enjoying it just as much as ever. Just a quick shout out to my sister getting married this weekend! MAN what the even... how does that happen Can't believe my little sis will be married before I get home! But so proud of you Brittany!

Well this week was a fun week. I'll be honest mom, I kind of forgot to take pictures..... hahah We just got down to work this week, and kind of forgot about everything else, including taking pictures... sorry bout that! But one of the highlights of the week was one of the exchanges we got to do with some elders in the zone. I went with a brand new elder named Elder Billy who has been here for about a week now, and wow it was a good time. Just a classic day of him having no idea what is happening and then sharing his testimony at the end of lessons. But a lot of things were way different with this exchange just because of who Elder Billy is. Elder Billy is from the country of Papua New Guinea and is from a super small village. His village has no electricity ever, and really not much contact with the outside world. He is the first missionary from his little branch as well as the first from his district. and he is just the man. He is the most humble missionary I've ever met and every time he bore his testimony at the end of lessons you could just feel the spirit pore into the room. I learned so much from him about being humble and just going out to serve the Lord. Its been a great week of hard work, just trying to help others come unto Christ. I love you all. Have a great week!

HAPPY NEW YEARS

Happy New Years everyone! Way crazy to say that I go home this year...... holy cow its crazy how time flies. We had a good week this week. It was transfers and my companion Elder Kubera got transferred out to the west of Viti Levu! Man I'm going to miss that guy, seriously one of my favorite companions.  Just such a hard worker and taught me heaps. We got our transfer calls, and President has asked me to be the senior companion in this area which is exciting but a bit scary, just because I feel like I just became a zone leader and I'm still learning alot.... But my new companions name is Elder Paki. He is from New Zealand just like my dad Elder Moore and he is the man. He only has 6 weeks left so I'm going to kill my first missionary! crazy hahaha

My old comp Elder Kubera

 And my new one Elder Paki!

We had a good week, nothing too crazy about New Years. We were so tired we fell asleep at 10:15 on New Years Eve # party animals haha But ya not much time. I'm just excited for the new year. I hope everyone else is too! I'll send some pics with this, but have a great week everyone. I love you all and I love this gospel!!

Pictures! One of my bestfriends in the mission Elder Alonzo, who I spent 6 months on Rabi with went home this week.....  I love this guy so much, but he's actually not gone yet. He missed his flight and is still in Fiji!!! hahahahahahhahahah Love this guy

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MAN guys I don't have the most time to email, but I just want you all to know this is the best time of year. Christmas is great. It's a chance for us to remember the wonderful gift our Heavenly Father has given us, his son Jesus Christ. This is the best Christmas I've ever had because I've been able to focus on sharing that message to all those around me. We were able to have a baptism for Lisi, who is a 23 year old girl. She is amazing and has such a strong testimony. She is albino as well so that's pretty neat. So you can definitely say it really was a "white Christmas" hahaha We were also able to go around dropping off little candies to families as well as just eat our hearts out yesterday!

I love you all and love this mission. Merry Christmas everyone!

THE WORK IS MOVING

Well everyone.... crazy week this week. We had our Christmas zone conferences and zone parties and we got to watch Finding Dory. Needless to say its the best movie ever. Hahaha I'm not really even sure if it's that good or if it's because we haven't seen movies forever but all our eyes were glued to the screen. We have two baptisms coming up this week so we're excited to have a white Christmas! But anyways I will just send the rest of the stuff in pictures!

Me and my comp went to this place called Shop and Save which looks like a Costco but everything is way expensive, so this is me taking pictures of things I can't afford... haha

Oh and me next to a beach #swag

Not much time so I will just send some pics!

We had the chance to have mission tour this last week and Elder Cardon, a member of the 70, came and we were able to learn from him... man what an amazing experience!
