Elder Swallow is #Fiji Bound

It was a crazy good week. Not only did we get the opportunity to see the Prophet of the Lord. We also helped three people come to the waters of baptism! To start we all went to SUVA! Me and park have the biggest car in the west so we took all the sisters in the west. me and park and 6 sisters. super "fun". We stayed in Tamavua and helped the elders there. Then on Tuesday. we got to see every missionary in Fiji! Its was a way good devotional and way good to see how much everyone has grown! (Elda Tautu) Its was so amazing to get  direct instruction from modern day Moses. I love all the missionaries serving here in Fiji. Then it got even better when we all showed up at the stadium and my comp. had to drive and I was left all alone. Lucky I found my intake and chilled with them!  There was so so so many people there! I think the final count was 5,000 something people. It was amazing to see so many people of different colors, languages, and lives. However, we all ...

This week was crazy! Super fun!  Everything we did this week was crazy, and way epic. We started by going to the beach on a boys trip where we did sick flips. Played sick rugby on the beach and felt like a real Fijian! Tuesday we went up to the coolest places I've ever been to! it's this place called Nasivikoso. every other person is a member and they speak a crazy dialect! Its like Fijian on drugs! And for somebody who doesn't speak Fijian its was way crazy. We woke up and had to go shower. However; there is no shower, but there is a water fall. So we were able to use the environment!  The rest of the week we just worked like crazy for our baptism this next Sunday! She is already wanting to serve a mission. Way pumped for Sunday! Keep her in your prayers!   Alright I'll keep Y'all posted  Love you all!  1.Nasivikoso shower 2.Nasivikoso dinner 3.The boiz @ the beach 4. Siteri! Girl getting baptized this sunday ...

This week was easily one of the best weeks of my mission! We had a lot of work this week. Nawaka is really coming together.  This week we had a crazy service opportunity. One of the members in our ward has heaps of cows. However he wanted some of his boy cows to not be so manly anymore. And  Elder Park told him that I know how to do that said surgery. So we came up to the mountain  early on Thursday caught the cows and they were way bigger then I thought they would be. So we went for it and my senior year animal science class came in clutch and I was able to help our members learn how to help there own animals. Its was way fun to teach him and help the animals I'm way excited to see how else I can help the animals and people in Fiji. Way fun, scary but it all worked out. This week we have had lots of opportunities to teach, and our members have been way down to help us. There is a member who is Cakau. He's a 15 year old boy who came with us. Three days this week...

This week was way good for the Nawaka area. Only one of the elders can speak Fijian but that all good when you have a real ward. Our ward is sooo lit. Our members are giving us actual people to teach, and they are all way hyped for the prophet. It so amazing that my family here in Nawaka doesn't understand my Fijian, but we both know that this is the true church and that the true prophet of the lord is coming to our home!  We started with a way lit P day playing volleyball at one of the resorts here in Nadi. Just super lit. We've been way cool super, way busy the work of the lord is real. I love you all God speed.  1.Me and Elda Duffin 2. The BOIZ at the beach on Pday  3.
