Bula!
Man it has been a way busy, fun week. Lots of great
experiences and fun times! Let's see if I can remember everything haha.
So Tuesday I went on an exchange with Elder Stock from
Sandy, Utah. We had a way good time and were able to see a lot of his
investigators in his area. I was super lucky because for their
dinner appointment we got to go to a Birthday Party! (his companion
wasn't too happy when he heard about that) We ate so much food that by
the time the cake and ice cream came around I could hardly fit it in.
Wednesday I ended up sitting in the flat all day with an
Elder Ruwhiu whose leg got super infected and couldn't walk. I got some
good studies in/cleaning the house while he slept. Unfortunately he had
to go to the hospital and is still there now, but his leg is getting better:)
Finally on Thursday, Friday and Saturday we were able to get
some work in our area. We have two awesome families that we are working
with where the father is a member and the rest of the family is preparing to
get baptized. The Biu family is doing really good. Sister Biu has
been an investigator for a while, but the thing that finally helped her
progress was going through the temple! She loved it inside and now wants
to be baptized along with her two kids. The Rokodali family is our other
investigators. They are super great and loving the lessons. Brother
Rokodali has an amazing testimony of the gospel which he learned about while he
was living up in Vanua Levu, and now that he's back he's excited to share it
with his wife and kids.
On Sunday we had to take baptismal clothes up to an area
called Nasautoka. It is the farthest away area in our zone right now,
about an hour drive up in the mountains. Up there was more affected by
the Cyclone. Their power lines are still down and we saw a few houses that
were damaged, but for the most part everything is back to normal there.
We were able to attend church there in their little branch of 30ish people and
see the baptism afterwards that they performed in a river down below the
chapel. It was a way neat experience!
Things are going really good and I am enjoying life here in
Nausori. It's a great area! Elder Palelei has been a fun companion
and is even teaching me a little bit of Hindi. He taught me if you add
the word "kare" after anything it makes it a command to do
that. So I just keep telling him "cook kare" and "shower
kare". Fun stuff.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Harris
