Never been better!


This one goes out to all my fans that still read my emails. Thank you for the prayers and love sent to fiji it has been felt in a real and ever present way! 

This was a very good week. It was a good week because we took the advice of president Hinckley "Do not be discouraged things will work out".  If we have a willing heart, ready mind and a strong hand. This week we had lots and lots of fall through but even with the fall throughs the work doesn't stop! We have been working hard and with our working hard the spirit guides and when the spirit guides he tells you where to go, what to do , and what to say. We found lots of really good people this week that were very prepared for us! But the best part came on Sunday!  We came to church early and talked with our bishop. It was the primary program! Which is way cooler in Fijian but no offence, none taken,  to all you English speakers! We helped get kids ready and in position. Then  something awesome happened,  bishop went and picked up a little boy with muscular dystrophy. His name is Isoa and his mom isn't a member and when he got helped out of the car and with a big smile  he yelled "SWALLOW!!" it was awesome! Then after helping kids we look around and heaps of investigators came! Final count was 11 of our people came to church!! 

There is no better feeling then working hard, being obedient, trying your best. then getting help from on high! its truly amazing! With all this good, there is more our ward members saw our good work and gave us many people, places and offers of help! So we truly are coming to tether for the work of salvation! This is the true church of Jesus Christ. Never forget, never Quit. Don't be discouraged things will work out! I love you all! keep on the good work.

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.

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...
