<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This past week has been a miracle and an experience of a lifetime. I know my Savior lives and just because I am coming home this week does not mean I am done being His disciple. As a missionary we are commanded to follow certain rules and when I return home and am released, those certain rules I will no longer be expected to follow. My new goal is to be as good of a disciple as I can be without being bound by missionary rules! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This past week Elder Ogden and I worked till we dropped! Which was all I wanted to do...I can't explain how happy I am when I am absolutely exhausted from missionary work. It's a feeling I'm always going to remember and it will keep me driven and motivated for the rest of my life haha! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We went out finding this week and as always the Lord led us. One of our first encounters of the week was with this older man from the Catholic church. We tried sharing with him about the sealing power that belongs in Christ's church to seal families together forever. Before we even finished reading the scripture he stood up in front of us and told us we were misled and that all of our doctrines were false. In the beginning of my mission this would have discouraged me. Instead, I just sat there and smiled. I just felt peace because I had no doubts about what we had shared. I have complete faith that this church I belong to is Jesus Christ's church. The more persecution I receive the more strengthened my testimony becomes. So I thanked that man and we left his house. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On that same day we were looking for people to teach and weren't having much success. We were about to get in the car when we had a prompting to try the house our van was parked right next to. We went and knocked on the door and the family let us in. At the end of our message the father of the home said that that week they had decided to leave the Methodist church and were praying to find direction. He told us that we came in at the right time and that his family would pray and seek to find if the church was true. The spirit leads and it testifies of truth when we follow and obey.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">THE BEQA TRIP: <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_664984867" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Friday</span></span> morning we took the boat out again to the island of Beqa. We went there to conduct the baptismal interviews for Lavenia and Susana (A mother and her daughter). These two were preparing to be the very first baptisms on the entire island of Beqa. Elder Ogden and I had the awesome privilege of giving them their interviews and I won't forget it... I interviewed Lavenia, the mom. I don't think we realize how mindful our Heavenly Father is of us sometimes...This woman had been searching for truth and she was just ready to follow whatever God asked her to do. We found her 3 weeks ago and sitting down with her in an interview and seeing how much she had learned from the spirit amazed me! </span></div>

President and Sister Higgins came out on a boat that morning to witness the baptism. We hiked to the center of the island to a river and the baptism was full of the spirit! I can't even try to describe it. 1st 2 baptisms on BEQA baby! History made last week! </span></div>

That was hard.</span></div>

At her baptism she shared how as she was leaving her house her mom and aunt were crying and begging her not to go. She said she also began to cry but she felt peace and left and came to her baptism. She knew what she was doing was what God wanted her to do and I know that He is so proud of her...I am too. This gospel changes lives....I know how the Savior feels for us and I can't wait to do home teaching!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Bula Tale Y'all! The work here is on FIRE! Finally all the work we've been putting in seems to be unfolding into visual success. This transfer I have just learned heaps about hard work and how to work hard even when we can't see any results. </span><div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">The best lesson I have ever learned in my life has come clear towards the end of this last transfer. Elder Ogden and I have been working our tails off and haven't seen much success. I took some time to think about what I could learn from all of it and then I discovered that special lesson. Sometimes in this life we are going to work hard and for awhile we will not see any immediate results but if we endure well and keep going the blessings will come.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I can testify that this week the blessings did come! The whole week Elder Ogden and I spent finding. I could feel Heavenly Father guiding us everywhere this week.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">TENDER MERCY: We got in the car <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_918334529" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> morning and prayed that while we were driving we might find someone who could use our help. We parked on the side of the road and as soon as we opened the car door this old Indian man was standing outside our car. He told us about his brother who had just experienced his 2nd stroke and he asked if we could go and give his brother a blessing. If we had not been guided by God then how else did we end up on that part of the road at that specific time for that man to ask for help. We got to his brothers house and gave him the blessing also realizing that he was a member of the church as well as his wife but they had just gone less active over the years. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Heavenly Father has people we can help every day we just have to ask him to direct us to those opportunities! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Lo finally came to church again and she also brought two of her friends so let's GO! One of our members also brought all of her friends and so that was bomb as well. Lo wants to be baptized this<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_918334530" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;"> Sunday</span></span> which happens to be my final <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_918334531" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> in Fiji! I am way excited for her. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On top of that this next week we get to go out to Beqa again to do 3 baptismal interviews! That's right! The very first 3 people to ever be baptized on Beqa is going down this week! President Higgins will be coming with us this time and joining us on the adventure. I am super looking forward to that.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Serving a mission has made me so happy...I don't think anyone can fully describe the joy that comes from being His disciple 24/7. I don't want it to end so I am going to go so hard this last week and wear myself out. I love being a missionary and sharing His gospel! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Love you all! Elder Jonutz</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Bula Vinaka Everybody! I feel like this past week I have gained so much knowledge.......it's only been a week but I feel as if I've crammed thousands of life-long lessons into my brain that will never be forgotten! "And now my bretheren, I wish from the inmost part of my heart, yea, with great anxiety even unto pain, that ye would hearken unto my words, and cast off your sins, and not procrastinate the day of your repentance." - Alma </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1780638920" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">13:27</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Day in and day out, my companion and I have been searching and finding people to help them repent and come closer to Jesus Christ. We sit with almost 30 people every day and share with them how they can do exactly that! Some of them choose to listen and some of them don't. It's amazing to me how every time I sit down with the people I immediately feel the Savior's love for them. I know we all, before this life, were with our Heavenly Father. We all knew of His plan for us and we're all brothers and sisters. Having this knowledge makes the random everyday people we meet no longer strangers, but our family! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I sit with random people every day, all day long. Almost every single one of them does not speak english and yet I still feel close to them. I have an overwhelming anxiety to share with them Heavenly Father's plan! For me, being a missionary is being a good "older" brother. I love my brothers and all my sisters. Jesus Christ has provided a way for all of us to get back as a family because He is the best older brother. Bottom line, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Elder Ogden and I witnessed a miracle this week from fasting and prayer. Lo's dad hasn't wanted Lo to be baptized at all.....For the past 2 weeks we'd set up appointments to talk with her dad but he stood us up every time. Finally, this last Saturday we waited outside for an hour until he came out and sat with us. Sitting there all together was the mom, the dad, Lo, us and this random lady. We started with a prayer and I explained to her father how much Lo had progressed and she told him that she knew the church was true. After all this was explained to him he said, "She has already been baptized in the Methodist church and the answer is no!" I thought the fight was over and then the random lady began to talk....."Hear me out" she said, "I am also in the Methodist church but in our church we don't even baptize people the way Jesus was......no one visits us week after week like these elders do and your daughter has received a personal answer from God that this church is right. In the Mormon church the girls believe in keeping their chastity and she could have an opportunity to serve a mission. Are you really going to hold her back form all that?" Lo's dad sat in silence...... Elder Ogden and I were just sitting there trying not to have our mouths opened in shock wondering who sent this angel from heaven into our lesson! After some silence we saw the power of God change his heart and he agreed to allow Lo to be baptized! LET'S GO! MIRACLES MADA! </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On top of all that we had zone conference with our new mission president who is the coolest man ever! He surfs...and he goes out teaching with us. I already love the guy! Elder Ogden and I also went out to Beqa again and saw a traditional Beqa dance at a resort. If you can't tell by this email, this mission is the best mission in the world! </span></div>

It's so sad to see another week go by! This week was work work work! I honestly cannot even think straight. We started with checking up on an investigator we found last week named Solo. His second lesson went awesome and he told us he read the introduction to the Book of Mormon and he felt like it was true, he just hasn't prayed yet. So we talked with him about the importance of prayer and I'm pretty sure he is committed to receive an answer. He's only 20 years old and his friend, Pita, sat in with us last time and they both accepted a baptismal date for </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1687288408" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">July 22nd</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">. After seeing him we decided to follow up on a house we OYM'd and when we showed up 4 completely different people were in the house. Confusing but a blessing in and of itself haha! </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> The work is improving here in Tacirua! We're just trying to get our investigators to make it to church right now. Viliame left to go to his koro this last week so we didn't get to see him all that much. He's supposed to have read 2 Nephi 31 by <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1687288409" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> so I'll guess we'll see! Just gotta have faith mada! A lesson we learned from the spirit this week was pretty powerful! Our investigator Lo has been doing awesome. She knows the church is true and has a testimony of the Book of Mormon but lately she hasn't been able to come to church and so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1687288410" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Wednesday</span></span> we decided to try and figure out what was going on.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Elder Ogden and I did not know exactly what we were going to say or how we were going to figure out what the problem was, so we said a prayer for guidance. Lo is a very quiet person and doesn't talk much so at the beginning our lesson was pretty rough. As the lesson went on I felt the Spirit kick in and the questions we asked her were divinely directed and we were able to figure out the problem. She told us how her dad does not want her to be part of another church. The mom came outside and sat with us and explained more and we had a plan to talk with the whole family last night but that fell through! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1687288411" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tonight</span></span> we are going to try again. I know Heavenly Father has the power to change hearts but I am also aware that her dad has his agency. We are still praying and have faith. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This past week we worked as hard as we could. We found 27 new investigators and this week we're going to invite them all to be baptized. I love this work. It's hard and sometimes discouraging but I've seen the joy that it brings to others and even me. I love the members here! I'm just cherishing ever last second I have to testify about Jesus Christ here in Fiji. He lives and I can feel His love in every lesson that I have. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"> Bula Vinaka Y'all! This week was busy and so many awesome things went down! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1801747668" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> night the assistants called us and asked us for some help on a presentation for the new mission president and his wife! They asked us to go around the Suva North Stake and interview qase(old) members of the stake and obtain facts and stories about "The Suva North Stake". While out on this assignment I think I legit found my passion and what I want to do for a profession. Vinaka AP's! This assignment was an adventure. Getting to go and interview people and hear their stories...and take some pictures just got me excited. We'll see what happens after the mission but I think I would enjoy being a journalist. </span><div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On top of that assignment we had our last official meeting with President and Sister Layton. I've grown pretty close to them and the things they have taught me will stay with me for the rest of my life. In our last meeting they had me bear my departing testimony and I was not expecting that! Time is flying by faster than I would like it to!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This week Elder Ogden and I went out and just gave it everything we had. I'm going to give these last few weeks my best. At the beginning of the week we had a lot of extra responsibilities and assignments that took us out of our area so when we finally had time in our area we were ready to go hard. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1801747669" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> we got in the van and prayed for Heavenly Father to help us find people who were prepared. We started driving and at the end of the day everyone we had found accepted a baptismal challenge.... He definitely led us to those who were ready! The next day everyone said no... haha People have their agency to receive this message but it sometimes kills me when they say no! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">While working this week we got a prompting to go and visit a member who we both didn't really know that well. We showed up to her house and some kids led us to a room. As we got into the room we noticed she was laying on a bed. We went and sat beside her. She told us she had just gone through a very serious operation. Earlier that week her appendix had burst inside of her and the doctors told her she would not make it. She said thankfully she made it but she has been laying in bed waiting for some members to come and visit her. We were able to give her a blessing and sit and talk with her for awhile. It feels good to be His disciples and on His errand. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Dear Everyone! It has been a week of change and a week of miracles! This week was transfers week and I am so exhausted! Elder Forbush was transferred to Nausori and my new companion is Elder Ogden. Already love the dude! He is way sick and a way hard worker. It's crazy to think he will be my last companion....I'm glad to have someone who is willing to work hard because we're going as hard as we can until the end! This week we drove all over Fiji it feels like. Picking people up and dropping them off. Earlier this week we had a cool experience being able to wait with President Layton and Sister Layton to pick up the new set of missionaries. We got to host them in our flat and take them out for their first night! They were all so nervous. They all had these little spinny things called fidget spinners. Apparently they are way big back home.....What is this world coming to?! After transfers we had some baptismal interviews we did for the zone and we are way pumped because our zone hit our goal. </span><div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We as the Suva North Zone pulled in 13 converts. This <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_164388141" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">last Sunday</span></span> Lolo was confirmed and she was way happy. We had a miracle experience this last Friday night that I will never forget! We went to Navua to help them out with a baptismal interview after that the Brown family invited us over again for dinner. Right outside their house we got our huge white van stuck in the mud. Everytime we stepped on the gas it dug deeper and got more and more stuck....The mud was thick and slippery and our huge van had no possible way to get out. It was dark and raining and we were in the middle of nowhere. The Brown family came out and helped us to place rocks under the tires to create more traction but that did not work.. We all pushed on the back of the car as Elder Ogden pushed on the gas and it still did not budge one bit. We then got a prompting to gather the Brown family together and we said a family prayer to Heavenly Father to give us the strength to move the car. As I watched the Brown family and all their kids gathering rocks and pushing I knew the power of their faith would work. We kept trying for over 30 minutes. Finally we were able to push it backwards and then out of nowhere as we were pushing the car somehow miraculously it made it out. Brother Brown gathered the family and us together and we said a prayer of thanks. I know prayer is real and we should pray before we do anything. He is there and He loves us. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ni sa bula vinaka! I'm not going to lie this last week was pretty incredible. I mentioned last week how we might receive a chance to open up the outer island of Beqa.......We did! It was a crazy experience and one that I will never forget. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531164035" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span> morning we called our mission president and told him about how we were planning on getting out there. He told us if we went we'd have to take the "big" boat because the seas can be pretty rough on the way out to the island. He also informed us that we would have to spend the night at Brother Ratuvukivuki's house who is the only member on Beqa. We left early <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531164036" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Thursday</span></span> morning to take the hour drive to Navua Bay where we would catch the boat. On our way driving there the Navua elders called us and told us the boat was leaving at <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531164037" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">8:00</span></span> sharp. It was <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_531164038" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:45</span></span> and we still had an hours drive. Somehow we made it on time. In fact, we couldn't even see any boat at the port. I was beginning to worry that the boat might not ever come. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A few minutes later we heard a voice yelling, "Eldas!" We turned around and saw Brother Ratuvukivuki. He came up to us and greeted us. He told us he had just got off Beqa and was heading a different direction and that he would come out to Beqa later. In the meantime he helped us find the boat. The boat he showed us was not a "big" boat. I asked him if there was a "big" boat coming and he said, "Eldas, there is no big boat!" We decided to call our mission president and tell him about the situation. The assistants answered the phone and told us that if we wore life jackets we could take the small boat. We were very surprised but grateful that we still were going to be able to make it to Beqa! The next thing I knew we were hopping into this smaller fiber boat (see pictures). The captain loaded up our stuff and we headed out. It was pouring rain and we all still had on only our white dress shirts and sulus. The further we got out to sea the more intense the waves and tide became. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Trying to be brave we all held on for our lives as the waves got bigger and the rain poured harder. Sometimes the boat would hit a wave and the bottom of our fiber would smack down. So much water was flying everywhere it became pretty hard to see anything.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Half way out, our captain stopped the boat and assessed the situation and then we picked a route and followed it. I could just feel myself nervously smiling the whole time wondering if it was all really happening! While we were on the boat we passed a boat that was chumming the water for sharks. The route we were taking was notorious for Tiger sharks. Once we passed the feeding zone the island came into sight. The sight was pretty breathtaking.... We were surrounded by gray clouds and rain but the sun was just shining down on Beqa and it was beautiful. The waves eventually calmed down and we came underneath the sun and it was burning hot. Stepping on to the sand of the island was pretty awesome. Elder Forbush, Cobabe, Naperuru and I were the first missionaries to ever set foot on Beqa. It was a pretty humbling experience. The sand was so white and the water was so blue!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A villager came and led us to the Ratuvukivuki's house where we waited all day. When the evening time came over 15 people came to take lessons. A lot of them wanted to be baptized right then and there...but we told them we had to teach them all the lessons first. Just sitting with so many people who were so new to the gospel was refreshing. We taught them some hymns from the hymn book that they could sing when we were gone. Not many words can describe this whole experience. I just feel extremely lucky and blessed. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">On top of all that our investigator, Lolo, was baptized this last Saturday and she was just so excited. Next week she will be confirmed and we are way pumped for her. I love adventure and being an instrument in the Lord's hands. There is nothing greater. This week is transfers. It will be my last transfer in Fiji. Time has flown and I don't feel ready to leave this island. There is no other place like it. </span></div>

It's always fun to get to tell everyone about my experiences I've had throughout the week. Every week is a testimony to me that this church is true. Lately I've been praying and asking for Heavenly Father to help us find just one repentant soul; an individual who really has a desire to change and find the truth! A few weeks ago we found this guy named Viliame and his wife, Makareta. They accepted us into their home just like every other Fijian family and at the time I didn't really think anything of it... Yesterday, Viliame just showed up at church....In one of the </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1463221905" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> school classes our teacher asked if Viliame wanted to share anything and when Viliame began to speak the spirit was very strong! </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Viliame told everyone in the class how for years he has wanted to join the church but he didn't know how. He said he'd watch the elders pass by his house and he'd pray that they would come to him. He said he prayed more fervently a week before we actually showed up at his door and when he saw us standing there, outside his house, he was surprised and extremely thankful. He told them he is grateful for God answering his prayer and having us find him. As I just sat there and listened to Village I realized that Heavenly Father had already helped me find a repentant soul! I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure this guy gains a strong testimony that he is in the right place! I know the Savior knows His lost sheep. Time and time again we'll enter homes and people will be so nice but just not interested. Sometimes it gets discouraging when people tell you no. When they don't want us to come back it can become depressing.... And then one of those hundred people you visited ends up being the one you were supposed to find, and it is so dang worth it!</span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This Gospel is flawless... I'm extremely pumped for Viliame and all of our other investigators who are preparing to be baptized. This past week was a struggle but that experience made it all worth it. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This week Elder Forbush and I had exchanges in Navua which is pretty much like one of the sickest areas ever! It's all flat farmland and it's right on the sandy beach. We all met up at the end of the day with the Brown family and they fed us fish in lolo (coconut milk) with breadfruit. OH MAN IT WAS GOOD. To top it off, after the dinner they piled up heaps of old palm fronds and bamboo sticks and we had the biggest bonfire on the beach I have ever seen. It was honestly so sick! They invited us to come over this week as well! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This next week we might be going out to open up an island! The island is called Beqa and it's home to the "Firewalkers". There are fijians there who know how to heal things with fire and can walk over fires and receive no harm. It's been in discussion for quite awhile when we'll be able to go but it could happen <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1463221906" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Thursday</span></span>.

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Bula Vinaka Y'all! What a week! Craziness is happening in the Fiji Suva Mission! I LOVE IT! We had zone conference this past week and it was so sick! It was all on The Book of Mormon! President Layton and Sister Layton gave us our last interviews....I'm so sad to see them go. They literally have changed my life so much and I want to be just like them! This week Elder Forbush and I have just been running around all over the place. For example we just got back from the hospital because my companion has something wrong with his stomach. Nothing too severe but we're going to go and get an ultra sound around </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1951326969" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">4:00</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> today. I'll let you guys know if it's a boy or a girl! Other than that we have just been working as hard as our bodies allow us. I have this weird rash on my hand but it doesn't itch or hurt it's just weird so I have to get that checked out too. Don't worry mom. I'm all goods haha! One of our assistants is also in the hospital because his leg got infected and it's so swollen you can barely see his ankle. We come out of this mission so tough haha! The experiences help us grow and we change for the better. Lately we've been working on finding new investigators each week. We had a rough night where literally every single house told us no! I was so surprised. We sat down with this one couple that had just had a baby and I asked them if they wanted to be with their family forever and they said no.....pretty dang sad but I guess we all have our agency! We had a cool experience with finding this week. We were out and about and didn't really know where to go so we just kept walking and we found this Kiribis settlement</span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">. We decided to go and give it a try. On our way down we met a dude who told us to follow him to his house to meet his family. We jumped on the opportunity and went for the adventure. We found out both of his parents were from the church and he was born on Rotuma. I was so excited. We taught him about how in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we have the authority from God to seal a family together forever. He was excited to hear that and he now is taking lessons to find out for himself if it is true. His name is Laurence and he is way cool. I'm pumped. After church </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1951326970" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> we sat down with one of our investigators Lolo and she is planning on being baptized next week! One of the people we found last week walked with us to the road after his lesson and told us that he saw us walking along the road a few weeks prior and had an urge to come talk to us. He said he wasn't surprised when we showed up at his door. He said he and his wife want to join our church. The lesson I have learned this week is that to be a good missionary you just have to go out and try. Do good things and the Lord will lead those who are ready to you. Being a missionary is so much fun. Can't wait to talk to you guys next week!</span></span></div>

It has been a week of hard work! Elder Forbush and I have been out finding people all week! It's so awesome to be in this beautiful country and have people welcome us into their homes. I still am amazed everyday at how nice Fijians are. There's no doubt in my mind that they are the best people in all of the world. </span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This week we went on lots of exchanges! First we went out with the assistants which is always a way good learning experience. I went out teaching with Elder Green who is from Utah. He is a huge guy and has this voice that one day will be opening up General Conference and the Spoken Word haha. He is a way sick dude and I learned heaps from him. I also learned that this year he's going to have all the missionaries at his house for, "Pie Night"..... Basically his family makes over 500 pies every year. I'm definitely going to be there!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">After my exchange with Elder Green I got to go on an exchange in Samabula with Elder Billy, who is from P.N.G. The stories I heard from this guy were pretty humbling. I'm not sure how many of you have heard about P.N.G but it can be a crazy place. Elder Billy shared with me the fact that he had 6 siblings in his family but only 3 of them are remaining. 1 was drowned in a whirlpool while bathing in the river and the other 2 died of diseases that they had no medicine to cure. In P.N.G. there are over 800 different languages... The rivers have heaps of crocodiles and Elder Billy is a master at catching them and eating them! He was baptized last year and he never gets to contact his family because they live in the bush. To me, this exchange taught me to be more grateful. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Lately I've been thinking about what my mission has done to me and for me. I can't even try to explain it. All I know is that this work is awesome! It kills me to think about how short the time is that I have left. Now is the time to sprint to the finish line. I know that this church is true. There are people everywhere around us who need it. I have a firm belief that the only reason I am happy is because of this gospel. Most people are scared to share it because of what people's reactions might be. The worst that can happen is they'll say no. At least you'll be satisfied that you tried. No one knows the day or time when Jesus Christ is going to return to the earth again. We have to be ready and we have to help others be ready. I think it all starts with the mindset that before this life we existed. We lived with Father in Heaven and we are all brothers and sisters. Some of us were born into the gospel and others weren't. I believe we all have individuals we are responsible to find and rescue. It's His work and they are His sheep and so I know He will help us find them. You just have to try. This week our investigator Joji was baptized. His soon to be wife is a member and she was so excited to see him be baptized. I am way happy for him.</span></div>

Bula Vinaka, It's been an intense week. </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1106916725" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> afternoon I got my transfer call and found out I was being "de-extended"....That was a shock to me! I also found out that I would be leaving Naitasiri and heading to Tacirua! It's a little town in Suva. I'm literally right across from the temple and mission office. So far so good hahah! It's going to be a way fun transfer. My new companion is Elder Forbush and he's from Utah. He's a way sick dude and it's going to be a blast working with him. </span></span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">It was hard to say goodbye to "Naita". I came to love a lot of people there and it was a huge blessing to be able to serve there. It was extremely hard to say goodbye to my "Vanua Levu" family also. They are some of my favorite converts. They all walked out with their Book of Mormons in their hands and I told them I was leaving and it was so sad. I'll see them again someday!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">So now that I'm in Suva I get to drive this huge van! It is basically a bus....It it is way harder to drive than the truck but it has been a lot of fun at the same time. Never thought I would drive a huge white van hahaha. The area here is pretty different from all my other areas. I honestly feel like I'm serving in San Francisco.... Suva is a huge city..... for Fiji. Luckily we still only speak Fijian and I'm excited to be serving in a ward again. This past <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1106916726" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> I got to go to church and it was interesting. All the Fijians here have a hard time pronouncing my name haha. When I tell them it is Romanian they flip out and think I'm this foreign European dude. It makes me feel cooler than I am hahaha. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">As for the work here it is a lot different than Naitasiri. No villages... The other day Elder Forbush and I went out teaching and we knocked on this guy's door and it took a pretty long time before he decided to open it. Finally he opened the door and we told him who we were and how we share a message about Jesus Christ. He told us he already knew about Jesus Christ and that he didn't need to learn any more. I told him alright you have a nice day and he decided to show us a finger of his that I did not want to see. That was literally the first time in my whole mission where I have had anything like that happen to me! I'm so blessed to serve in Fiji.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Lately I've been studying "Jesus The Christ" and it is AWESOME. I've just felt a recent urge to learn more about Him. Yesterday I was reading and some things I read really taught me a lot. Lately I've been doubting my abilities and feeling weighed down trying to figure out who I am. I read about the account when Jesus went into the wilderness and was tempted by Satan. As I read I began to realize that Satan was trying to get Jesus to doubt who He was and His abilities! Even our Savior had to deal with confusion and he slowly learned who he was by the Holy Ghost. I learned that Jesus Christ was able to remember who He was and find Himself and stay strong because of how strong his companionship with the Holy Ghost was. Focusing on the Holy Ghost can help us clear the darkness and defeat Satan. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ and I'm going to spend these next two transfers doing my best to learn even more about Him!</span></div>

I'm going to start this email by telling a story:</span></span><br />

<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">A few days ago I had an awesome experience with the Holy Ghost in our lesson with Eta. We met Eta last transfer and she was an awesome investigator. Our first visit with her was so nice and every visit after that she began to progress more and more. We gave her a baptismal date and invited her to church and then nothing ever happened..... I was pretty confused because Eta was doing so well! She loved the Book of Mormon and she was ready to take the next step. For some weeks we had been trying to visit her but she kept avoiding us. Just 2 weeks ago we knocked on her door. I could see her in the back, but her husband came out and told us she was gone. At this point I began to lose the hope I had for Eta. This past week we decided to make one more attempt. We walked up to Eta's house. Again, her husband answered the door and we could see Eta sitting on the back porch cleaning. He told Eta to say "bula' to us but she refused and even began to yell. She said she was busy cleaning and did not want to sit with us. Her husband continued to ask her why. As we stood outside the door it was quite awkward because Eta obviously did not want us there. But we did not move. There was a quiet voice that told us to stay put and not leave, so we obeyed. Not knowing what was going to happen, we stood there until Eta stood up angrily from her cleaning bowl and said, "COME IN ELDAS!" Without saying a word we entered the home and Eta went into her room. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_365964552" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Five minutes later</span></span> she walked out holding her Bible and Book of Mormon. She sat down in front of us with tears in her eyes. Her husband left the room and we sat in silence. I had no idea what to do! My companion and I just began to speak and ask her questions. Without fail she began to open her heart to us on all the things she was struggling with. She explained how every time she opens up the Book of Mormon or tries to do something good, her husband would stop her. She told us she wants to join the church but her husband wants her to be Catholic. We sat in silence and then as we opened our mouths I witnessed the Holy Ghost bringing peace into Eta's heart. We asked her where she was in the Book of Mormon. She told us she was just finishing Moroni. Joy filled my heart because I knew she knew it was true. We talked some more and she with confidence told us she wanted to attend stake conference. At the end of the lesson I felt so good that the spirit helped us help one of God's daughters find more peace and help.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Missionary work is the best. Experiences like these is what reminds me of why I am here. I left home and everything because I have the gospel and others don't. If you don't have this gospel you're missing something... Nothing else can bring as much peace or joy as the gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm still learning it as I go. Sometimes we can forget what it feels like and that's why some of us fall away at times. He'll never stop trying to help us though. I've read the Book of Mormon many times on my mission and I can say for a fact that I know that it is true. Whatever rumors, stories, or lies you've ever heard about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- Day Saints is the tool of Satan to drag people from where Jesus Christ truly can be found. I've read the book and I've seen others read the book and accept this gospel and they cannot deny it. This church has to be the church of Jesus Christ. </span></div>

Okay I just need to apologize that this email is going to be pretty short. We're taking our zone on a hike to some waterfalls today and so we don't have a ton of time to email. This past week has been a roller coaster of events. Elder Stock got pretty sick this last week and so we spent some time in the hospital... He's all good now - just got a little scary there for awhile. But all is well! The majority of this past week he's been sick and recovering. </span></span><br />

We took him up to Naitasiri and he loved it. It's fun to take elders up to our area because they don't get to see things like that. We spent the night in our hammocks and had a blast. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1278841551" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> evening we just went hard and knocked on every door we could. In Nauluvatu, we've been working really hard. A lot of the villagers do not want us there but we keep going and I know their hearts are going to be softened. This week I've learned about our missions. A different kind of mission. I know Heavenly Father has a mission in this life for all of us and to follow it we have to be receptive to the Spirit. Do all you can to be able to receive His promptings and you will know what to do. This week was crazy but I learned how to be more positive so I grew. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Ni sa Bula Vinaka everyone! It's been such an awesome week to say the least. I'm exhausted but I love it hahaha! I'm happy to report that Sanaila was confirmed this last Sunday and he is just growing stronger and stronger in the faith. We actually have a way fun relationship with the kid. In Fijian it's kind of like a big compliment all the youth give when they say "boso levu" It means like big boss haha. But one night we were leaving Sanaila and he was following us out to the car and I called him "boto levu" which means big frog and he died laughing man. He thought it was hilarious so now that's what we call him hahaha!<br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This past week I made a goal to re-read all of preach my gospel. I just want to dissect the book apart and learn all I can! It's only been a week but I feel like my knowledge has just grown so much. I would recommend that everyone should read it! To members it will inspire them to share and HOW to share. Not only that but your knowledge of the gospel will become so much clearer and more simple. I just love how easy the gospel really is.<br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">So last week I told you all about Filimone. At the beginning of this last week we were just trying to sit down with him but he kept avoiding us..... Which didn't make any sense because he was doing great and ready to be baptized. Elder Stock and I decided to have a fast for him. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_431163929" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Saturday</span></span> night we showed up at his house and he didn't run away :) It was a miracle. We sat down with him and had a heart to heart. Earlier that morning I was studying what we should share with him and I remembered the conference talk by Joaquin E. Costa. Specifically when he shared the experience where a missionary had him read from Alma 42 and every time where it says "behold my son" he had him replace it with his name. I felt prompted to do the exact same thing with Filimone! As he read we could feel the spirit and it opened up his heart. He explained to us that he just needed one more week to pray. We gladly are going to keep working with him and I know it was all an answer to our fast! So that was pretty awesome.<br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">We had a surprise exchange with the assistants which was really fun. We went to one of our villages where the work just isn't going as well and we went to battle! We knocked on as many houses as we could and shared with families. Some were really accepting and I'm excited to go see them again this week. There's a lot of work that needs to be done and I am hoping the Lord just shows us how to do it. I have faith He will and this next week should be awesome! I love you all!<br /></span></div>

LONG WEEK! but a great week! The majority of it was filled with Zone Conference and interviews. Our Zone Conference was THE bomb.COM. We talked a lot about how to help our investigators come to sacrament meeting and how to help them accept baptismal dates. Something I learned from it all was that if we want any investigator to accept a commitment we have to help them see the WHY. One of the most rewarding experiences of being a missionary is helping someone to love Jesus Christ so much that they see the importance of the Sacrament. This past week we sat down with one of our investigators who wasn't able to make it to church last week, so we went to check up on her. We sat down and she told us she wasn't able to come because </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_740115209" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> morning she woke up with a huge boil underneath her arm. (YIKES!) We asked her how she felt about it. She told us she felt like Satan really did not want her to come to church and she was able to gain insight that if satan was trying to stop her from coming that this church must be true. I thought a lot about that and it is so true. We helped her to realize that she has more power than him and it gave her a lot of joy and comfort. The Gospel of Jesus Christ and those who live it are always being attacked by the adversary. But we can find joy and peace in the fact that we know it is true and it is why satan tries so hard to distract us. I was able to listen to some of general conference and I loved President Uchtdorf's talk on how we can be happy even in this dark world! </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_740115210" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday,</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> we drove down in a carrier from Naitasiri to Waila ward to watch general conference. Sanaila and his brother Filimone were both supposed to be baptized yesterday. When we showed up at their house only Sanaila was ready to go. We could have been sad or mad about this but we decided to be happy and we had a great baptism for Sanaila. We talked to Filimone's dad and he told us that Filimone woke up </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_740115211" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> and felt pretty shy and not ready...

This last week went by so fast! Probably because we have been so busy haha! This whole past week was filled with meetings and proselyting in our area. Elder Stock and I have just been giving it everything we have and are seeing some pretty awesome miracles. This week we started teaching a lot of new investigators. For awhile now I've felt prompted to go and try to contact this guy who lives outside the village. We saw him one time at one of our member's homes and he seemed interested. </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435069796" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tuesday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> evening Elder Stock and I went up to his house and lucky for us...and for him, he and his wife were there. His name is Josaia and he's what you call a Kailua (half cast). He's half Irish and half fijian.....pretty cool. As we sat down with Josaia and his wife we found out something cool about him. He was originally going to paint the mural for the Fiji Suva Temple. He's a way talented artist. He doesn't know a lot about the church but that's going to change. He and his wife are interested in the temple and want to be sealed together. I'm pretty pumped to be able to teach them! We also got a referral from the Singh family. Sister Singh's mother, father, and brother live in Lomai village and have talked them in to letting us come over and share with them the lessons. Sister Singh has two daughters who are preparing to serve missions and so we're going to let them practice teaching the lessons to their family! Within that same village we also met another family. A mom and a dad with tons of little kids. Peni and Vaseva are their names and they are way solid. Just the other day we sat down with Peni and showed him Heavenly Father's plan for us and he loved it. He said he knows our church is true. He's noticed that all the people who have converted in his village are mocked by all the other villagers but he said he knows that means this church is true. Pretty wise man. Some of his kids came to church with us this past </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435069797" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> and we're aiming for the parents to come next week.

Two of their sons, Filemone and Sanaila are preparing to be baptized </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1435069799" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">! Last week we started with no real solid investigators. We just tried to have as much faith and hope as we could and went out and worked and miracles are starting to happen in Naitasiri. This week we are the first zone to have zone conference and so I'm pretty excited. I have not been able to listen to general conference yet, but I just downloaded it onto my flash drive so we can listen to it in the car. It's going to be sick. I had some resolves this past week to make small changes to be more in tune with Heavenly Father and I can feel the difference. Exact obedience isn't just a term used by missionaries it should be applied to everyone. If we follow exactly the laws of God at least all that we are able, then we will see miracles in our lives. I can testify of that. I love this work. I am so tired but I feel like I have so much energy. The spirit is real.</span></span><br />

Transfers were this week! It has been stressful but all is well in Zion haha. So Elder Willoughby was transferred to the north on Vanua Levu. That's where he'll be ending his mission </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1262577855" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">in 2 months</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">. Isa lei, going to miss that guy! As for me, I am still here in NAITASIRI! My new companion is Elder Stock and we both came to Fiji together so it's going to be a way fun transfer! He is from Sandy, Utah. He's a pretty tall dude and comes from a family of 9!!! We have similar personalities so it should be fun haha! This past week was a lot of driving people around to their new areas. I'm pretty excited to stay in Naitasiri! The zone here is so much fun and I love being able to serve here. I will try to tell you all the things I have learned this week but my brain is fried and I am pretty exhausted hahaha! Our mission is on fire right now! No joke.....As a mission council we set a goal of 144 saints and today we got an email from our mission president that we surpassed our goal and with the help of Jesus Christ had 187 converts! The work really is hastening and it is hastening fast. I love serving in a place where so many are ready to receive this awesome gospel. I've been reading in the Book of Mormon and just a thought that I would like to share is something that has changed me. On my mission I have had the opportunity to read the Book of Mormon multiple times and one thing that has stuck with me is that Heavenly Father is so merciful to us.... There are so many times his children mess up in the Book of Mormon and He gives them so many times to repent and change. I just have a strong testimony that our Heavenly Father knows what's best for us. He wants us to be able to come back to Him. He will continue to reach out to us and help us because He's our Father. Missionary work, jobs, family life and the world can be pretty stressful. But if we can just take a break and be still and know that He is God than we can find more peace in our lives. If we have faith and believe in Him...He will carry us back to Him. I love this gospel because it is the answer to everything. I love you all and look forward to getting back to work in Naitasiri.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Bula Everyone! This has been a good week so I'm just going to dive right into the details and tell you all about it! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1764404036" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> night after p-day we had an appointment with this family we have been working with. They live up behind a school by a nearby village we always visit and they are awesome. They're a young Fijian couple and are both school teachers. They have a little baby named Faith and they just need the gospel. So <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1764404037" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Monday</span></span> night we headed down around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1764404038" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">7:00</span></span> and they were home so we went right on in. The lesson was awesome. We taught them about the restoration of the gospel and about Joseph Smith and they were just listening intently the entire time. Towards the end of the lesson the spirit was right so we invited them to be baptized. They told us they believe it is all true but that they cannot change churches because it's their forefather's church. In Fiji this is what everyone will tell you. I can't even count how many times I've taught someone and they come to know it's all true but they just "can't change". Sometimes it blows my mind! There're always some frustrating things that come with trying to help others receive the gospel. But no matter how hard it can be it is ALWAYS worth it. Take for example Petaia and his wife Leba! I have great news! They were both baptized yesterday in the river below our chapel. But I want to tell you all a little more about Petaia! There are some things we found out about him this past week. This last Thursday we had an appointment with him and his family and as we walked up to the house all the lights were shut off. Petaia came out smiling with only a candle and we entered the home. After sharing with them about how their baptism was going to work Petaia told us that he wanted to tell us something. He told us how a year ago he lived on the 2nd biggest island in Fiji, "Vanua Levu". He told us how he was the head Minister of his church over the entire island..... Then he received a vision that he and his family should go to the main island of Viti Levu. At the time he didn't know why but he just decided to listen and go. He left everything. He came all the way here to Naitasiri. He told us he had been waiting here for a year to find out why God sent him here. He had been praying and fasting and then he said the day we entered his home he knew. He felt peace and he learned things that gave him a purpose and he's come to love the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Petaia is one of the most humble men I have ever met and his wife is just as amazing. I know they will be converted forever! It has been an awesome week. I also got to go on exchanges with the assistants and it was a blast. Suva is way different than Naistasiri hahaha! It's like going from bush to city and it's crazy. I'm slowly turning into a bushman! I love every experience I have been having on my mission! It can be hard but it is more rewarding than anything I have ever experienced. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1764404039" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Tomorrow</span></span> is transfer calls and I hope I can stay longer!

It has been a super awesome week! Never in my life have I seen so many lightning storms! I have to admit though that sitting in a lesson at night in a village when there's crazy lightning and thunder going off feels pretty dang cool. Especially when Elder Willoughby and I share our testimonies and it ends with a big boom of thunder! We felt pretty cool hahaha! A lot of awesome things just happened this past week. We've been working pretty dang hard with our Vanua Levu family and they are starting to prepare to be baptized! Just this past week we sat down with the whole family and shared about the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity and they loved it! The father said after we shared those commandments with him that he read some verses from the Book of Mormon and he just knows that those commandments are important! He and his wife were originally going to be baptized on the 25th of this month but they've decided to push it closer and so they are going to be baptized </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1063682747" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> BULLLLAAAA!

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">This week I've been reading in the Book of Mormon about Captain Moroni, Helaman, Teancum and the 2000 strippling warriors. Probably the best section in the Book of Mormon in my opinion. But the lessons I've learned from these legacy's is that satan only has as much power as we give him. As long as we make preparations and fill our minds with faith in Jesus Christ we can conquer anything in this life. It may be scary sometimes when we can't see the future of our lives but when we obey with exactness and push forward with faith, everything is possible. That's what I know. Anyways <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1063682750" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on Sunday</span></span> we had Lotu Vata (combined church). About 4 units came along with the Stake President and Bishop and it was bomb. A lot of our members got interviewed to be able to go to the temple to be sealed as a family and so there's nothing better than that! Naitasiri is doing awesome and I'm glad to be serving here. Au lomani Kemuni! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Dear Tamara Vinaka (good people), It has been another good week out here in the bush. Lots of things have happened as always! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_168827911" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Wednesday</span></span> we dropped Elder Payne off at the mission office. He's in Tuvalu now. Lucky kid hahaha! On the bright side, while dropping him off we found a mexican food restaurant. I could hardly believe it was real. I didn't know those existed out here and I was quite surprised. I tried to bridle my inner man but I ended up giving in and getting nachos and a burrito and ISSSAAAAA LEEIII! It was pretty dang good. It was a blessing hahah! On a more serious note, we found tons of new investigators this past week. Since we can't really tract in the villages we have decided to hit up all the houses that are on the outskirts of the villages and some have been pretty good contacts! Just the other day we sat down with this family who had so many kids. They seemed like a pretty happy family so we began by sharing with them about the sealing power. We told them how we could help them to receive an answer to know if the power to seal their family together is in this church. They told us if they found out that it was true they would all be baptized. So I'm way pumped for them because they are definitely going to receive an answer because it is true. And plus......who doesn't want to be sealed to their family for eternity! I'm excited to get to share with them. Petaia and his family (Vanua levu family) have been doing amazing. We've been teaching them for awhile and Petaia and Sereana and a few of their sons have come to church a few times now. Lately we just haven't been sure who all really wants to be baptized so we decided last friday to sit down with them and figure all that out. After some pretty cool impressions of the spirit, all 6 of them have decided they want to be baptized by the end of this month. They are one of the coolest families I've ever met. When we teach them they are all so intently listening and humble. They literally follow any commitment we give them. They really have full purpose of heart in trying to follow Jesus Christ and that makes me so happy! Lately I've been learning a lot about prayer. I've been trying harder to have prayers throughout the day that are in correspondence with the goals I am working on. I've seen some cool changes. I have a testimony that if we set goals with Heavenly father and work on them with Him throughout the day then they can become a reality. He really does answer our prayers. Our unit member, Brother Vounijese, recently had his mother die. We went to visit him the other day and we shared with him about all the temple work he can do for his mom. He is really grateful that he can help his mom still get to the celestial kingdom. Just seeing this made me realize how loving God's plan is for us. He wants us ALL to come back to Him and he does so many things to make that possible. I love sharing the gospel. The atonement has the power to transform you and when you let it and set goals you can become more like Him and it's pretty awesome. I look forward to sharing more with all you guys next week!<br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Bula Vinaka everyone! This past week has been one of the best weeks of my life. So many life long lessons I think I will be able to remember and use for the rest of my life. This past week we had our zone conference and the spirit was so strong. We spent the three hours going over all the new changes that have taken place in the missions all over the world. Our entire schedule has changed so that we can have more proselyting time! We spent a lot of time having everyone share their spiritual impressions and it was pretty powerful. I'm pretty lucky to be able to serve in a zone where all the Elders and Sisters are awesome missionaries. Most of the Zone Conference we watched a worldwide missionary broadcast that was lead by Dallin H. Oaks, David A. Bednar, Neil L. Anderson, and some others! Something that Elder Bednar said hit me pretty hard, "All we have to do is be as good as we can be and God will form us into someone better than we could have ever become!" Over the course of my mission I've seen how true this really is.... As a missionary you get to see the atonement change people and you even get to see the atonement change you. It is so cool! I've realized that sometimes we fear more than we hope. I remember the scripture, "Look unto me in every thought; Doubt not, fear not." The past few weeks I've been trying to practice this scripture in my life and I've seen so many cool changes in myself. We don't have to fear the future events of our days or lives! All we have to do is get out there and do good and look unto Him in every thought! He will guide us and lead us and we will learn and grow. I love being on a mission. I've had some really hard times out here, but I always come out stronger than I was before and I am so grateful for that. He has a plan for all of us and we just have to trust Him and enjoy the change no matter how uncomfortable it sometimes can be. He's doing all He can to help us become more like Him! After zone conference I started studying the New Testament and found a cool way to invite people to be baptized using the scriptures John 3:5 and Mark 1:9-11. I tried it out in one of our villages the other day and everyone in the family accepted baptism if they come to know that it is true so that was pretty dang cool. This week Elder Willoughby and I decided to do something pretty hard but we knew it would help our members. So here in Naitasiri, there is not a lot of ways for transportation for people to get to and from church. The past few months they'd been relying on us to help them get transportation and we just can't do it anymore because our mission president and stake president have told us not to. The walk from our flat to the church chapel is about a 4 hour walk through some pretty rough dirt roads. Elder Willoughby and I felt impressed that this past <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_130694534" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">Sunday</span></span> we needed to leave our truck at the flat and walk to church. So we woke up pretty early and started the long walk. The members were pretty shocked that we walked all that way for church. When they realized we didn't have our truck with us they began to panic. At first they were mad with us for not bringing the truck but we needed to do this so they could see that they were relying on us too much. They sat down as a group and counciled together. Some walked home and some waited for the bus. I'm not going to lie. The walk was hard and my feet are pretty torn up but it taught me the importance of the sacrament. He just wants us to remember Him and the walk was totally worth it. I also hope our members learned a lesson. I love them. On the walk back home we heard news that one of our members was kicked by his horse so we went to his home and we were able to give him the sacrament and a blessing. We got home when it was dark and I felt so drained but yet accomplished by the end of the day. These things have taught me life long lessons and I'm just so happy to be able to be learning so much out here. Our vanua levu family came to church again this week and we're pretty excited for them. Fiji is the place!<br /></span></div>

I want all my family, friends and anyone else who is reading this to know that the Holy Ghost is real. This week I've learned the different ways it works. To keep the Holy Ghost with us we must respond to it's promptings! As a missionary in Fiji speaking the Fijian language it is impossible to touch the hearts of the people if the Holy Ghost is not guiding me in all I do. Earlier this week I realized a difficulty in recognizing His promptings. The work became a struggle and I had no idea what to do. I prayed and prayed and prayed but was still struggling. A lesson to be learned is in the Book of Mormon in the book of Jacob chapter 4 verse 7 it says, "Nevertheless, the Lord God showeth us our weakness that we may know that it is by His grace, and His great condescensions unto the children of men, that we have power to do these things." I just want to take this moment to testify that this scripture is absolutely true. It is only by God's will that we have the Holy Ghost to be with us. To members of this church we have been given the Gift of The Holy Ghost, this is true. But to keep this gift with us we have to recognize that it's only because He is allowing us to. I never want to jeopardize my companionship with the Holy Ghost. He guides me in all ways and comforts me in all trials! To those of you who maybe don't have this Gift yet...the way is simple. It starts with baptism. God wants us to have this gift. This life is hard enough without it. I just want to say how grateful I am to be able to be a missionary. I'm grateful for the things our heavenly father teaches us and the things he puts us through to grow. He knows ALL. This week Elder Willoughby and I had some cool experiences! Pushing forward through trials we invited others to be baptized. A family we've been working with for awhile finally made their first step to follow the Savior and be baptized. Sitting down in their home we read with them Mosiah 18:8-10. Immediately we felt prompted to invite them to be baptized and they said yes! Just yesterday they came to church despite the expensive travel fair. Petal, Maria,Va, and Fili are all working towards their baptism for </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_465852086" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">March 25</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">.

Pretty awesome week to say the least! Good news is I'm still in the bush out in Naitasiri and get to enjoy another transfer with all the amazing people here. I'm way stoked about that! My "son", Elder Payne, is also now in Naitasiri but his situation is a little different. He'll be spending 3 weeks with us and then he's going to be on his way to TUVALU! I'm way pumped for the kid! It has been fun having him in the flat this past week. Elder Willoughby and I got to do transfers this whole last week and somehow still were able to manage going on an exchange and have a baptism! Which was a miracle. I actually had a way good time on my exchange with Elder McKee. He's from Washington and a very smart guy! While I was out with him in his area we had some guy walk up to us on the street. To start off the conversation he said, "Hey, I want to join your church." After some additional comments we figured out that he was really looking for some direction in his life and felt like he needed to join our church. We shared with him the story of the restoration and he was excited to hear more. I'm looking forward to hearing how it goes for the Elders teaching him. Being a missionary is so awesome. For some young adult man to come up to us and tell us he's looking for direction in his life is peculiar and normally I wouldn't know exactly what to say.......but that's okay because the gospel of Jesus Christ says it all! That is the greatest thing I have learned on my mission. There LITERALLY is nothing more important than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It answers every question and solves every problem..... I just want to teach it to everyone! If you're not currently happy refer to the gospel: Faith, Repentance, Baptism, </span><wbr style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"></wbr><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">Receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost and then endure to the end. I can testify that there is no other way to find true happiness. ONLY by following the gospel of Jesus Christ. Sometimes even as a missionary I have to refer back to these steps to make sure I'm happy and it works every time. Elder Mckee and I also had a cool experience in helping a less active family. We shared with them the importance of the Sacrament. If we think about the Sacrament as a feast to remember our Savior....we will never EVER want to miss a sacrament. He made it so we can ALWAYS remember Him. The </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_343782351" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">next Sunday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"> we saw the family come to church and we could tell how excited they were to come break bread with the Savior. Later that night I had a pretty funny experience! Remember the scene on The Grinch when he gets the fudge shoved in his mouth till he is sick?!...I had a similar experience. After coming back from a dinner appointment where they made us tons of food we went to one last appointment to visit a man named Wame. We walked inside and he was playing some christian songs on the guitar and singing pretty loud. In between his songs he would add commentary...like, "Honey, make these boys some dinner!" We told him no thank you but then he'd ignore us and continue on with his song. His wife came out with a huge plate of eggs, rice, sausage, and ketchup. I was already so full but ate it anyway. Now I was really full and my stomach hurt. He then made us eat hot chocolate and pie and I literally almost popped. I was trying not to laugh as he was stuffing my face with all this food and singing these christian songs and then I realized just how happy this guy was. We shared with him the restoration and he said he would be baptized on </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_343782352" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">March 5th</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;">! We'll see how it goes! This last Sunday Save Naca was baptized and so that was awesome. He was super pumped and when he came up from the water you could just see the change in him. He could not stop smiling. I just want you all to know that I cannot nor will I ever deny the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the MOST important thing in this life. I love you all and look forward to telling you more next week!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white;">Bula Vinaka Everyone! Well it has been a pretty crazy week just as every week has been! We received some pretty devastating news last Thursday. One of my past zone leaders, Elder Amai, just finished his mission this last December and we found out he was killed in a car accident...He was an amazing missionary and I looked up to him. I know he's continuing on the work up in the spirit world right now. He served in the area I am currently serving in and the members were sad to hear the news but it was a faith building experience that helped build their testimonies on the plan of salvation. It's so much more satisfying having a knowledge of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I've come to realize that it is the most important thing in my life. I love studying it, living it, and sharing it! It's a humbling experience when being able to repent causes you to lean on the Savior's mercy and plead for his help. To be able to become clean again is in and of itself a miracle. It's awesome! This week we finally got Save Naca ready for his baptism. I'm really hoping I get to stay to see it because I've been working with him ever since I've been in this area. Transfers are <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_628397817" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">tomorrow</span></span> and I'm not planning on leaving...so just got to keep my fingers crossed. Yesterday we had a pretty crazy experience! We had a lot of appointments cancel and we didn't know what to do. We felt like we needed to go see Brother Navuso (Save Naca's dad). We showed up at his house and he was pretty sick. His breathing was uncontrollable and he had a pretty bad cough. Because the spirit prompted us to go there we were able to take him to the hospital and get him some oxygen. He was really grateful and we are glad the spirit was able to speak to us. Lesson learned this week is that if we want to constantly have the spirit with us we must constantly repent and pray. The feeling of the spirit is something I wouldn't trade for anything else. I'm sorry if this email is very short but Elder Willoughby and I are in charge of a combined zone beach p-day and we don't have a ton of time to email today. I just want you to know I know this gospel is true and I love it! This past week I finally got to listen to Grandpa Jonutz's funeral recording. I am so happy that I have a family firmly rooted in the gospel because there is nothing better.<br /></span></div>

Can't believe another week has already gone by! It's crazy how slow the days can be but these weeks just go by so fast. It's been an exciting week! We started off by going on some exchanges with our elders in Navatuyaba and had a blast. I was able to go on an exchange with Elder Miller! We are both from the same intake and my whole mission I haven't served around him so it was fun to catch up with him and see how he was doing. He is definitely the man and a master at fijian! We had a cool experience of going out proselyting and inviting some people to be baptized. For some of these people it was only the second time for elders to visit them. 3 of the 5 people we visited all accepted a baptismal date and that it is pretty amazing. You can just see how fast the work of the Lord is hastening out here and it's so fun to watch! After our exchanges we headed back out to our area to prepare Osea to be baptized. We showed up to the edge of the river in hopes of seeing a boat cross so that we could get to the village when this guy on this bamboo raft paddled over to us. He told us to hop on...so we did! Never thought I would paddle board on a bamboo raft on my mission. That was sick! hahaha! So this week I also took my drivers test.....Ummm...long story short I will be taking it again </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1072904383" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this Wednesday</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"> hahaha. I need to freshen up on Fijian road laws I guess. Our family that's from Vanua Levu has been doing awesome. We took Brother Juta with us to visit them the other day and they are so close to being converted. The mom told us that they aren't members of any church but that when we come over she feels the Spirit. We told her the way she can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and she was very excited. Right now we are just waiting on the fathers to come back. I forgot to mention that there is two families that live in that house and we are teaching both of them. Every single one of them has accepted the baptismal challenge. The only problem is every time we go over there we meet a new member of the family and all the other ones are gone hahaha! It's not a terrible problem to have at all - I just want to teach all of them at the same time haha! Our members are really excited about these families and are always asking about them. We're praying for them pretty hard! </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1072904384" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204 , 204 , 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">On Sunday </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Osea was baptized!!! It's nice to see young kids believe in Christ and why it is important to be baptized. Before he was always a shy kid but after his baptism he went crazy and was just super happy. I love being a witness to baptisms! The work of the Lord is true and so are the words of Isaiah! Our mission is doing a Book of Mormon read and we have to pick our top five heroes. Right now I'm in Isaiah and man is it a puzzle. If you want to know why Nephi put his words in the Book of Mormon just read 2 Nephi 25:3. I must say that he will most likely be one of my top five! I love you all!</span></span><br />
