Elder Swallow is #Fiji Bound

I made a cool discovery this week my part of the island is outside the city enough to be considered the hood. Thus the header! Other than that this week was very good! we found some good families and started rolling little by little! This week was probably the fastest week in the history of weeks! like for real.  We had lots of good lessons this week one in particular really touched my heart and strengthened my testimony. It was with the old stand by Lela she knows everything and believes the prophet restoration and everything. But when we talk about baptism she says i've already been baptized... its way frustrating. However instead of going in doctrine a blazing saying your baptism isn't valid. instead I prepared weeks in advance and had a super good discussion about the line of authority. My family knows that I had asked questions as such. and because I listened to my feeling I was able to bear testimony of the truthfulness of the restored priesthood!...

This week was all goods! In the start of the week was awful rain came like God poured a bucket on Nasinu! Way bad super lame and cold as snot. The first couple days like sucked then it got better we taught some good lessons and the highlight of the week was conference! It was the the first time I've watched conference on my mission and it was awesome. Got some really good insights for my families and for my work! Way good, super uplifting. Watch it if you haven't; super good! I love you guys and keep on keeping on!  -Elda Tilo!  pics- 1. Rainy days 2. ulu maqi 3.Ace the helpful place  4.Little kids flexin lookin like a gangster.  

This week was a week long change! my companion Elder Harding went to rakiraki. I stayed in Nasinu with a new comp Elder Fepulieai, from samoa! We also got sisters in the district now!  This week Wednesday we had 16 new elders come in! and three of them spent there first night in Fiji with me! In the Fiji Suva mission you go out your first night and place a book of Mormon! This is a great experience for both the new missionary and the old one! We had three come with us and I took two and Feps took one. and we went out! It was amazing to see just how much the lord really helps us! We also had a cool experience with a member! we came to pick up our food! and she asked us for a blessing and both of the new missionaries hadn't ever given a blessing before so i was able to help them and we gave a blessing to her and such a sweet blessing and spirit filled the little house! really cool i just hope the new missionaries remember what they felt!  Other tha...

This was a way good but faster than snot week. It feels like I just barely was here writing. Time flies when you have God on your side! This week we had lots of good and progressive lessons. With people that I have truly come to love! There is nothing quite like sharing the gospel.  The first one I want to share is about Kelera. She works at a fruit stand and we found her, by her "cat calling" us! pays to be good looking and have the restored gospel! We have taught her the first three lessons and invited her to be baptized. she said she already has been baptized! So we shared about my boy Jo smith and she has faith he is the prophet of the restoration! and doesn't see a need to be baptized again. So that was cool, but then I brought up the holy ghost how we need to have it given to us. She said she got it by fasting and  prayer... everything I said she had her answers and I wasn't frustrated but disappointed that I didn't receive help. So I this proble...
