All Good in the Hood


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! really amazing and powerful for all of us to remember that this is His church and His power is on the earth today! 
Lots of really great stuff this week we had many memorable experiences with auntie and uncle(our landlords) did service for them on the roof! Plus all the members love and want to work with us so fingers crossed for that. Beneficial reading from the book of mormon. 3 nephi 11. everyone needs a reminder take this as yalls. 
I love you all very much. stay strong, have courage and be kind!

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...
