Bright light in the big city!


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 than that this week was slow and repetitive however Kelera came to the baptism on Saturday and said she loved it and wants to do it! however when we double our efforts so does some one else! so she didn't come to church but this was just a battle the war is not over yet! and I promised that i would give every ounce of effort! 
I had an appifany yesterday. yesterday it was crazy rainy and crap weather but i caught myself smiling and laughing and waving to the cars that splashed water on us. and i said to myself stop you look like a crazy person! and i couldn't. i was soaked, cold and walking. But I was happy. happy enough to reach out to others! happy enough to continue to smile and I wondered why and the answer is the gospel! 
This is what we have for the world happiness and joy! Never ending!
never forget what you have and share what you know! I love all of you very much! my prayers are with you! loloma bibi

3-22-20 First Update From Pres. Higgins in regard to Covid-19's impact on the FIji Suva Mission

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...
