25TH WEEK IN TONGA, TU'ANUKU

Week 2 Vava'u

Hey guys! Vava'u is tika! Not gonna lie,  I lost my planner which is where I had written down everything that's gone on this week so I'm going off the top of my head this email!

So that one area that we cover, Tu'anuku.  To give you guys an idea of how many people there are baptized.. yesterday we were at the ward council meeting and we were going over a list of everyone's records that we have and I'd say its about 90% of the village. We even had some preachers for other religions on the list...  But 90% is not 100%! We will keep working!!!

We met this little family of 3 little girls and their mom. The little girls are so dang cute and remind me so much of my nieces.  We would go and visit them and take them candy, then we finally got the opportunity to teach them.  We taught them the first lesson and it went awesome!  We asked them to just read the Introduction of the BoM.  When we came back, as soon as the girls saw us, they ran and grabbed the copy of the BoM that we left them and came and sat down ready to learn more.  We have high hopes with them!

We taught a lesson this week to 4 people that we are pretty sure were high the whole lesson...

Man the work is still very slow though.  We plan every morning to go and talk to all of these people and then most of them turn out not being able to talk to us, then we get home at night and feel like we did all this work and walked a ton of places and realize that we were only able to meet with 2 or 3 people.  It's definitely a little discouraging sometimes.  But I know there is a purpose for me serving out here of all places!

DANG! So cool to hear that there is going to be a temple built in my home city!!!!  That is such a huge blessing for us!!

Love you all and have an awesome week!
