Good week this side of the Mississippi


This was a very good week in navua. There was some stress for a little bit. Due to some sickness. We had a member of our district have some medical problems so, because i'm the district leader we were a trio this week. It was a lot of fun. 
We had interviews with president his week and he challenged me to listen to the spirit while also in lessons, instead of just finding situations. So in a lesson on Thursday we were teaching by the spirit. we had just found this lady named lusi. She really likes the fact that the spirit can be with her always. So even though it was early and i didnt know if she really understood. I asked the question if she wanted the spirit with her, and she obviously did, and I asked a follow up of how do you receive this gift? Luckily she said ONLY through baptism. I felt the spirit very strong, and challenged her to be baptized. She said she would. Then proceeded

 to say that God was happy and I felt it as well. It was a very cool experience to feel that God was happy with what happened. This really helped me because for me it's hard for me to know if im doing enough, but this time I knew. and I realized how much I actually feel that happiness. And i challenge you all this week to try and make Heavenly Father happy this week and when you feel that happiness. try and keep it with you throughout this next week. 
This was a good week and I learned so much this week one lesson I want to share is a lesson on perspective. It was raining way hard one day and i'm a big whiner so i hate rain. then we had someone tell us that he was grateful for the rain because it means his family has water. Because they don't have running water... And this completely humbled me. hard and put everything in perspective, God loves us all that means sometimes he sends rain to everyone so that a family has water. Think about that and ponder this week. Know that I am happy and healthy I love all of you and i appreciate your prayers and I can truly feel them. Be good and keep drivin!
love Elda Tilo.

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...
