What's up people?! This week was all good. Me and my comp Elder Forbush are just getting out and doing heaps of tracting to go find those that are ready for baptism. Life's just good out here and time is absolutely flying.

What's up fam? Not much time to email today but wow it's been the craziest week ever. My companion went home on Tuesday so the rest of the week I was tagging along with other companionships until I got my new comp on Thursday. My new comp is named Elder Forbush and we are pretty much best friends so life is good. We have had a crazy week with transfers and running around baptismal clothes for zone members, but it all payed off in the end because our zone set a goal for 25 baptisms and we got 28! SO amazing! It was just a great transfer and it was no doubt because the great elders and sisters we have in our zone and the Lord just working miracles in our area. Love this work!

Last dinner with Elder Paki and taking him to the airport. So fun serving with him! I love that guy!

And a picture we all took for an Elder named Elder Amai, who recently got home from this mission and died in a car crash. Love that guy so much. Heavenly Father just needs his service up in heaven!

Good ol' farming

We have a lady that we helped become active again in church and she had a temple recommend interview with Bishop. Before she went in she gave us her baby to watch for a few minutes. So cute!

FIJI

Yo what's up? Guys as you can tell I'm running out of things to title my emails with so I'm probably just starting to use the word Fiji, because it's the sickest country in the world. Anyways, we had a pretty good week this week. We have been working hard to bring people to church or bring them back to church and we have seen some good success. Two less actives we have been working with came to church the last two weeks in a row and now have both qualified to receive a temple recommend to do baptisms in the temple. So awesome to see people use the gospel of Jesus Christ to change their lives, even if they are already a member. It really does work for everyone.

We have one investigator named Ana, who is a 18 year old girl. We tracted into her and have been working with her for months to help her know that the Book of Mormon is true and she finally got an answer! However her parents are not allowing her to be baptized because they are strong Methodists. Such a bummer. She's asked them three times now, but we are going to hopefully go and ask them this week so we will see what happens. One of my favorite investigators we are teaching are named Ateca and Bulo. These are two 70 year old ladies that we also tracted into as well. They are probably some of the most humble, sweetest ladies I've ever met. I just love being around them. They told us they usually just invite every church into their house to share, but last week some Jehovah Witnesses tried coming over and they just told them "Oh no it's alright we like what we are learning from the Mormons" hahah best thing I've ever heard. They are so humble and accepted a baptismal date yesterday! The work is great, I just love this place, Hope everything is good at home, love you all!

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!
