HELLO FAM :)
Man sad news, we might not be able to continue teaching our
golden ta'ahine investigator. Her dad got low key mad that we were teaching
her. But our Bishop is hecka maka (rock) so he's going to go and talk to him.
This Bishop is a lot like the bishop I got to work with in Hihifo, Ha'apai who
was THE MAN. During our Fakataha Alalea (Ward Council Meeting) we set up 4
appointments in his house within the next week. LOVE IT!
Talking with our ward mission leader, he told us that there
are SO MANY people in Folaha that are not members but want to join the church.
They literally all know that it is true, but they are all SO embarrassed
because, 1. there family and/or 2. the members of their current church. If they
joined the church it would be like unleashing all heck for them. So.. our
current plan is to help these people build up the needed courage and
testimonies to make the change!
Tongan driver are low key crazy. People pass each other on
these 2 lane roads like its nothing. Like, I don't even know how many times I've
seen are car pull our from behind us, pass us and the car in front of us and
barely not get hit by the car coming the other way. THEY CRAZY.
On Sunday we had the 2 Folaha wards' Primary Programs. Haha
Tongan kids are so dang cute. Especially when they speak English. Primary
Programs are better here because everyone gets ice cream at the end of church.
We also ran into one of my companions old
kaingalotu (members) and he tells us, "Hey you guys come over, oku i ai ae
Lu e thirty." Haha 30 Lus! YUPP
Story of the week: while we were on exchanges with the APs
this week, my companion and Elder Soakai, stayed here in Folaha, while I went
to the AP's area. My comp and Soakai, decided to do some exercise in the
morning, so they went out to go to the church with our basketball. When they
discovered that the church was locked, they decided to just go and check out
the beach at the bottom of our area. While they were walking there, a little
kid asked for the ball, and my companion said no. Well, the little kid wasn't
very happy about that, so he started using some very choice kapekapes (swear
words) at these 2 missionaries. They just ignored him and continued on there
way. Later that day, there house literally burned down. It was there that
morning, and now it is a big black mark in the grass. Sooooo...don't swear at
your local missionaries.
I gotta go play volleyball right now and help get our
'lunch' this week ready :)
Love yalls!!!
