Au taletaki kemuni


I am stuck in church jail...haha- jokes. I'm having a great time! We've had a couple TRCs since we last had a chat. They went well, Omae gets nervous but speaks fluent! We tell the new guys on our floor he only speaks Tongan so I learned things to yell when he's in front of the new guys, they get freaked out! Its so funny! My favorite word in Tongan in fakahela. yes it sounds like that! haha it sounds like a swear! haha I'm dying just writing it!!! 

we have had a good week besides Sundays I love it here! Sundays are like straight but jail! But it's ok who wants to love the day of rest! Anyway on Tuesday we got to class and Elder Madsen goes "cool I got my visa"... and we all ran to the computer lab!  I'm happy to report that I've been accepted! In ten days I will be going to the place that hasn't left my mind in 18 years-haha jokes, it's been like 4 months, but I'm soooo freaking ready, I'm literally freezing! It is so cold in the mornings! 

I don't know what to say because it feels like I just wrote! We had a really good devotional it was like a pump up video for the church it was really good I'm so ready to serve! We had a funny moment with President he was making us give a 60 second lesson about prophets and while we were talking he would get really close and super uncomfortable!  As I was going, I say, looking him in the eyes, I say. "Adam was a prophet first one that we know." My class lost it! and when they calmed down I finished and sat down. He couldn't even say anything because I was 100% right! Boom! 

On our floor there is a guy named Elder Willis. He got extended 2 weeks because he has a concussion so we've been with him a lot. 

I'm sorry I haven't written hand letters more. I'm trying now I just don't have a lot to say it's really not that thrilling being in the MTC. If you guys don't want to write me then that's fine I won't ask for letters just know when I come home and bring everyone back cool presents it will be reflected on effort, haha jokes. I really like hearing how you are doing but it won't break my heart. Anyway; love you all very much! au lomani iko! be good I really appreciate all you guys do for me! be strong, I'm in a spiritual bubble you are in the real world just stay firm and remember your strengths! Sorry for the grammar, and  I don't know if the pictures worked sorry if not but I can't control it.

John Higgins shared a link . Conversation Starter · March 22 at 2:20 AM To families of missionaries currently serving in the Fiji Suva Mission. Tomorrow (P-Day Fiji time) your missionary will receive information which I am also sharing with you to keep you updated with the rapid changes that are effecting our missionaries and their sacred work here in the Islands of Fiji. Please freely discuss the counsel and instructions with your missionary and encourage them to follow these recommendations. Bula Vinaka Sisters and Elders, My dear fellow servants: “Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life”. (3 Nephi 5:13). This scripture is a powerful reminder to us in the Fiji Suva Mission of whom we serve, who’s message we share, and what He desires for each of us. As events change dramatically day by day let us trust in the Lord and His servants, moving forwa...

Noqu yaca. Transferred from the roots to the shrub.

This was a crazy week. I've been transferred. I got transferred from nawaka (the root) to nasinu (the shrub). This was the first time I've been way sad to leave. I learned so much from my family in nawaka. They helped me grow and become the missionary that Heavenly Father needs me to be.  Now I'm in nasinu, right next to Suva. My companion is Elda Harding from Niue. It's going to be a really good transfer. I want to share a story that really touched my heart this last week. We found out that I was leaving on Tuesday and left Wednesday. So didn't have a lot of time to say good bye. The first house I went to say goodbye to was the pregnant lady I talked about last week. When we got there we found out that she had giving birth on Monday. We came and met her and found out that she named her  Danele...that's my name! (if you know the movie line you win.) It was way humbling and way cool. It's amazing to see that the restored gospel brought us together a...

Nausori for the win

This was a great week here in Fiji I hope you all had a great week as well. This week we had three of our family members enter the water of baptism on Saturday. It was the best ending to a great week!  We had so much stuff happen this week. On Thursday this week we had the opportunity to help an elderly lady in our ward. She had us "fix" her floor with reused boards and gave us one hammer and a broken shovel to do it. it was super funny and just started the fun. The next day we had exchanged with the AP's and it was way fun because both of the AP's are from my intake! so we've known each other since the MTC.  I had the opportunity to go with elder madsen and it was super fun! we went and did a lot of teaching and elder madsen is a Hindi elder so that means every fijian we teach i would take the lead. It was such a good experience to realize that Nomatter who or where we are teaching the gospel does not change! I lear...
