Well HEYYY guys!! Sorry its been so long since I've been
able to send out a group email, sometimes the internet can be real
annoying.
Those of you who haven't heard from me in a while, Pangaimotu
is great! We are still trying very hard to progress our investigators and the
very large list of less actives. It can be hard though, especially when every
single appointment we had ALL of last week, fell through :) Gotta keep
smiling!! The Island is beautiful and I love these people. There is nothing I'd
rather be doing then representing the Savior here in this part of the world!
A major set back in all the Motus (Islands beside the main
one) is not seeing the members help with the work. It seems to be generally
accepted by all the missionaries that that is just how it is, but we are
starting to see some more improvements with it. We got to go down to our other
little tiny village we cover with a member family and got an appointment to
teach a little family. We have started to have meetings with the ward at the
end of church every week so that we can report the work we've done and
encourage missionary work to be more of a topic on the members minds.
We had another Musical Fireside yesterday that was fun. This
time a nonmember and a less active lady came and that makes it all worth it to
me! Even if half of the members are 'le'o ua' (tone deaf) we got this old man
named Talikavili who would hop in and just start singing from the audience.
It's funny reading other missionaries blogs in much bigger
places who drop investigators if they aren't progressing at all... here our
investigators are all we have if we dropped them we wouldn't have anything
to do lolol!
We've been trying to start a Po Ako (study night) to help the
kids with English and hopefully find new investigators that way, and we had our
first one on Thursday and no one showed up!
Our dog Peewee still follows us everywhere. She came with us
all the way to our neighboring village for District Meeting and then when the
zones came and picks us up she had to find her own way back which was
surprisingly fast.
SHOUT OUT TO MY AWESOME DAD WHOSE BIRTHDAY WAS LAST WEEK! LOVE
YOU SO MUCH TANGATA'EIKI!!!!!
Random things:
-One of our less-actives was reading a Jehovah Witness hand
out book during 2nd hour at church
-I learned that Tongans think that braces (on teeth) are
'beautiful' and like a trend or style in America
-As a blonde dog walked past a little kid said, "Sio,
lanu tatau a Kalanite" "Look he's the same color as Kalanite"
lolol Rockin the palangi image our here!
Hope everyone in the mother land is doing good!
