Quickest week in the history of the world....


This week was so so fast! We had so many thing to do this week. It was crazy. 
Monday started with picking up a member of the quorum of the 70. Elder Yamashita. We had to pick him up and look the best because we were the first missionaries he saw. PASSED
Later in the week we had some good opportunities to serve and help our ward. We did service with Bro. Vueti, and his family I love them so so much! 
Thursday this week we had to pick up elder and sister Yamashita, president and sister Higgins, and the assistance to the president. Needless to say it was a stressful car ride. Then Friday we had  mission conference it was way good but I sat in the front. So I had to do heaps in the conference. 

On Saturday I went on an exchange and we went and taught a talatala. or the big boss in another church. And I was scared at first but I shared a simple message about the restoration and families. It helped me realize something really cool. Our message about the restoration of the gospel and how it blesses families is so simple and straight forward that if you have a testimony in it you have what you need, and you can take on anything.  

On Sunday we had good church and went to the village and a lady is way pregnant and  went into labor so we gave her a blessing and she told me that it will be my yaca or named after me. We will see if it's true. 

All and all good week. I love you all so much and I Know that Jesus Christ lives and leads this church and this work.

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...
