Noqu vanua....au mai butu'a!
Ni sa bula vinaka tale from the garden island of
Taveuni! Man I just love it here...the people, the scenery,
everything!
It was great to talk to you all for Mother's day! I am
emailing today because yesterday morning the rugby championship was on and
after that all the wifi on Taveuni was out! Haha they completely killed
it, so most of the elders are going to skype today now. Luckily I skyped
on Sunday! But yeah I really enjoyed talking to you all and knowing that
life is going on without me;)
This week has been really good! We have just been as
busy as can be because we are now responsible for the entire branch since the
sisters are gone. So we have been trying to continue the work in our area
while also getting to know/continuing the work in the other area. But it
is always good to be busy:)
Also this week we had zone training meeting
and exchanges with the zone leaders, Elder Peery and Elder Uta'i. It was
a lot of fun, but our flat is really messy because we have had a lot of people
over more than a week, and we are also storing all the stuff from the sister's
flat in our's until the mission office figures out what to do with it. So
I've got some good cleaning to do....
Another cool thing that happened this week was our movie
night that we put on last Friday night for a finding activity/branch
activity. It was really good! We watched Meet the Mormons in the
chapel with a projector (the screen wasn't big enough so we stuck the sacrament
cloth up on the wall!). After that we had a barbeque for dinner and then
we set up the volleyball net for the kids to play for the rest of the
night. It was way good; I think it boosted our support among the members
and also helped the people realize that we don't just go around and drag people
out of their houses and baptize them, we like to have fun too:) As far as
a finding activity, it didn't turn out too successful, but I have noticed that
people in the village are more prone to talk to us now, so I think it was
successful.
Anyways, missionary work is great! Va'anuinui vina'a!
Loloma,
