Building Zion & Chance Thomas Roe (Just Late)

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 problem before the Lord and I got right up and opened my Fijian bible right to the Scriptures that say it plain and simple. Acts 8:14-17. After we shared this she started asking heaps of great questions about the church. We invited her to come and then the day of she didn't show. After the prayer however, she came in and sat with us. I could truly see that My Father in Heaven could have helped me earlier but he needed to make sure my heart was in it 100% then He provided the way! 

The other one goes like this short and simple. We gave this lady a 10 day plan to overcome her wow(word of wisdom) problem. and she loved it! However, on Sunday her plan said to come to church but when we went to pick her up and walk together, she was asleep. I again was disappointed, but just as I was getting mad at myself I looked back and she was in the back!! she came right up to me and said "thought you weren't going to see me eh?" she was right but God knew better! 

 This was a really good week and I have some shout outs to make! 1.Chance Thomas Roe Noqu yaca!!!!
2.My Dad. Kelera asked about my baptism and I was able to share that my Dad baptized me because he was worthy to hold the priesthood! I am so so grateful for his example to me!
I love you all and hope you have a great week, remember my investigators and know that I love and pray for all of you daily! With love as big as Texas!

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...
