Bula vinaka everyone.
It's been a good week! I mean it's always a good week
here in Fiji, but nonetheless each week has a unique twist to it that keeps me
interested.
We had two more zone conferences this week. One here
in Suva and one out in Lautoka. We had Suva on Tuesday and Lautoka on
Thursday. We drove out to Lautoka on Wednesday, which was a huge act of
faith because I was having stomach problems the night before, and there isn't a
ton of services along the road. So I got a blessing, took a bunch of
pills, and we made the 4 hour drive with no problems!
We had a great time in Lautoka doing exchanges and eating Burger King (which
thankfully didn't cause any more stomach problems haha). It's always fun
visiting the burning west.
On our way back from Lautoka we stopped in
Pacific Harbor, which is in my old area of Navua, looking for a place to eat,
and we met this lady named Amelia. She was pretty crazy and I'm pretty
sure slightly intoxicated, but she said she loved Jesus so she was going to
take us to her restaurant "Beach Bum Burgers" and feed us. The
burgers were really good, especially considering they were free.
We saw a lot of progress in our area this week!
Sereseini is doing great and all prepared to be baptized next week. And
we finally got Salutu to come to church! He came and brought one of his
daughters; we almost didn't see him and actually didn't realize he was there
until after sacrament meeting. Alice didn't come because they thought
bringing both daughters would be too much chaos. But we went and sat with
them later in the day and committed them both to be baptized! I've seen
so much progress in them this week. Allen came again this week to church
with his friend Andy who came like 4 weeks ago. They only stayed for a
bit because they were busy, but we had a gospel principles class about Family
History and they thought that was pretty cool. So we're going to keep
trying to teach them with their busy schedule. Lots of good things
happening! I know that the Lord is in charge of this work and is
preparing His children for us to find and teach them.
Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Harris
