Ni sa bula maleka,
Sa wananavu sara na macawa qo! Au sa marautaka.
It's been a great week here in the now cold and muddy streets of Nausori!
Sa tau ga valailai na uca, ia sa batabata sara. I'm kind of cold, but
then I looked at a thermometer and realized it's only like 70 degrees
Fahrenheit.
Oh yeah, Happy America day! I may have been singing
God Bless America this morning and also may possibly be wearing a red tie with
a blue sulu. All the Aussies and Kiwis are going down in touch rugby
today.
So this week we had a lot of meetings. We had the
usual meeting with our district, and then a meeting with our district leaders,
and then a meeting with President and Sister Layton. They were all
good! We are really excited for our zone right now; everyone is having a
lot of success, and we are seeing heaps of people whom the Lord has prepared to
receive the gospel. It's great to see the Lord's "elect" and be
able to share with them what they have been searching for. In our meeting
with President Layton, we learned a lot more about finding those elect,
especially with referrals, and how to help them feel the Spirit in the first
few moments speaking to them. We also learned how to help people see the
importance of coming to partake of the sacrament on Sundays. I always
love learning from President because he always has awesome insights and ideas
for us to use.
Our area is blowing up! We have so much going on and
so many people who are prepared. Misiviliame was baptized on Saturday and
confirmed yesterday. His baptism was amazing! He told the story
afterwards of how he had been a very influential person within the Pentecostal
church and how certain things had led him to decide to not go to any church
anymore and just stay home and take care of his family. He had been that
way for about 5 years and then Brother Biu introduced us to him! It's
been way fun teaching him and helping him learn the fulness of the
gospel. His wife also came to the baptism and he says now we can start to
teach her and their kids! It's going to be great. Jack and Gloria
are doing well and loving church in general. They're way ready to be
baptized we're the ones struggling to keep up with them and get all the lessons
taught! But the plan is two weeks from now to have them baptized with two
other kids, Temesia and Suli who are the kids of the less-active guy we found a
few weeks ago. There's lots more but those are the ones we are focusing
on right now.
It's been great learning so much and serving the people here
in Fiji. There is no where else I'd rather be and nothing else I'd rather
be doing. I'm so grateful Heavenly Father sent me here to be with these
amazing people.
