Good week, blessing of being talkative as.

        This was a really good week we had lots of good things going on. There was lots to do this week. I found out some good spiritual gifts that were hidden and have never seen before.  Namely being the most talkative person this side of the Mississippi. I know all of you are surprised by this information, of me being talkative. However; in my missionary work this week I've seen it as such a blessing. Everyone we talk to has said."Wow, this one can talk,eh?" And I've realized it's such a good blessing because once we know that this is really the restored gospel, all we can do is share, to all those that we can see. Because you never know just who needs what you have.


           This week we had some service for some investigators and all the people were like oh it's nice white people can work like Fijians and then I talk to them in Fijian. They are way thrown off and then to top it all off I then speak Kiribati to their neighbor.They all just sit and stare. They always ask how I know the language, I explain that it's not my work its the Lord's and if he needed me to go to a remote island that speaks a whole different language I would do it because our Father in Heaven knows what we are capable of even if we doubt our self. HE never doubted us, and never will. This was a good week. 

Our mission president gave us a home work assignment that has really been helping me and I want to pass it on to all of you. He asked us to pick 5 scriptures from the New Testament and 5 scriptures from the Book of Mormon. and memorize them. But I took it one step further I dove into the scriptures and found scriptures that had significance to me as I read them. As I did this I saw how much the scriptures truly help you grow and change to become the man or woman a Father can be proud of and a missionary that our Father in Heaven NEEDS.

            I love you all, I want you to know that God lives and he sent His son Jesus Christ to die for us so we can return and live with him.stay strong, humble and kind. Lolomana bibi.
Love always. 
Elda Tilo.

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...
