23rd WEEK IN TONGA, HIHIFO

OSI EKU NGAUE 'I HA'APAI

YUPPP I'm getting transferred!  Heading to a whole new island grouping.  VAVA'U here I come!! Apparently where I'm going there is actually mountains!  Not your everyday sight on these islands. I'm serving in a place called Longomapu and I'm going to be comps with Elder Hosea who was the last AP here in Misiona Tonga.  Apparently the fafangas (feedings) in Vava'u are BOMB (aka PUAKA KI AI) so time for me to gain all that weight I lost here in Ha'apai (20 lbs). 

Anyways my last week in Hihifo has been a little uneventful :(

A lot of our appointments this week fell through which is always a big bummer.

BUT we got to teach that one guy that a couple emails back I mentioned and said that me and Despain thought was very prepared!  We taught him about the apostasy and the restoration.  The whole lesson he kept telling us about how much it makes sense and he believes that the church that Christ established was lost and he has been looking for the right one the past while.  GOLDEN.  So we brought him a Book of Mormon and showed him a couple of places to read and he was like, "Ok, I hope that Despain and the next Elder keep working with him because he is the man!

AND we finally got to teach that lady that I mention forever ago that owns the restaurant again.  Such an awesome lesson!  We also taught her the Restoration, and afterwards she explained how she felt so different and warm when we shared the first vision.  The spirit was doing its job!!  Despain was telling me how he's never heard someone here in Tonga explain so clearly that they were feeling the spirit like that.  Probably helps that she speaks English.

Man to bad that I'm going to be leaving these awesome investigators but I've got a new area coming up and I am pumpeed!! 

STAY TUNED NEXT WEEK FOR CRAYZAY PICS OF VAVA'U

Big ofas and 'umas to all you guys!
