'eitou dau 'ania
Well the weeks are sure flying by down here. I have
now been in Fiji for 3 months, but it has felt much shorter than that!
Tomorrow is transfer calls, and then the moving begins on Thursday. So we
will see whether I stay here in Taveuni or go somewhere else, but since my
training is over I will definitely be getting a new companion. I'm not
sure how it will turn out, but I'm excited!
This week has been pretty normal. There was a death in
Dreketi, one of our main villages, so tons of people were busy! It was
way hard to sit down with people while that was going on, so we kind of stayed
in our other villages. But Fijian funerals last like 4 days, so it messed
with church as well.
We had branch conference this week, and the talks
were way on point! Just everything our branch needed to hear! Only
problem....half the branch was missing because of the funeral....
Haha gotta love em. While in branch conference it was announced that we
will start to have sacrament meeting at the beginning of the 3 hour block
instead of at the end which we usually do. Apparently this came straight
from the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve. So I am pretty
excited about that, because it is going to make people come to church on
time! Haha usually our classes our empty and people just slowly file in
until sacrament meeting finally starts. But now people are going to have
to decide....separate the boys from the men! Haha no it is really good;
the Lord is hastening His work.
After church yesterday we got to go eat
at the big lunch they had for the funeral. Like 200+ people there and I was
the only white guy! Haha it's kind of intimidating, but once I get this
language down I'm gonna be Fijian so there will be none of that anymore;)
So this weekend has been the London 7s rugby cup, so lots of
people have been talking about it. But apparently USA won! Just
heard about it. Elder Hosea and I will probably be singing the national
anthem for a few days to rub it in their faces;)
So yeah....I'm running out of things to say. Thank you
all for your support and prayers! I love you all! Missionary work
is the best! Choose the right! Don't follow Satan!
Loloma levu,
Elder Harris
