Everyone seems to think I will be staying in my area forever
because 3 companions of mine have come and gone in this area, but i don't mind
:) i love my area, and I am happy I stayed. Being companions with Sister
Betteridge is great! we went to the storage unit in Liahona today to grab my
old shoes so she can run with me this week! She left her shoes in 'Eua on
accident.
I have a good feeling about the upcoming week. we have lots
of good appointments already set up, and we are having stake conference!! i expect
a lot of investigators will come... for some reason it is easy for them to say
yes to an invite to a conference, but normal church is a NO WAY! ugh... anyway,
highlights of the last week:
1. Sina Loni's baptism!! She really did not like the church
about 2 months ago. She was strong in the Wesleyan Church, and for a long time
I thought she would NEVER open up to us! but, miracles happen :) she gave a
powerful, faithfilled testimony after her baptism, and even though her mother
is angry with her for getting baptized, she believes and knows it is the right
thing to do, and she is looking forward to going to the temple as soon as
possible.
2. We have a new investigator named Ema who is very
promising. We are teaching her again tomorrow. Her sister just passed away
suddenly and she really likes what we have taught her about the plan of
salvation.
3. We FINALLY taught a guy names 'Uasi this week. We have
been trying to teach him for months!! it was really good. He accepted the
invitation to come and see the temple with us. His wife is a return missionary,
but he has never really opened his heart to learning about the gospel before.
I don't have much time, so all i ask is that you all pray
for these people to progress this week, and know that I love you all!!! <3

volleyball today at the beach! it wasn't allowed before but now it is :)
Sina Loni got baptized!! and her new husband who was less
active was able to baptize her! he was wearing sunglasses in the picture
because he was in a rugby game earlier that day and got hit and had a HUGE
swollen black eye.
Sister Mo'unga and I

tell, because that is the gross swampy side of the island.
