WEEK 62 IN TONGA, FALAHA

WE ON WHEELS AGAIN

Yep you read that right! We got a new car yesterday!! I'm so paranoid driving now though, Im scared to crash this new one. 

We got it yesterday during Zone Conference... which was suchh a long but suchh a good meeting! We got picked up at around 8 and it ended around 6. HA! And there was only 5 different teaching! We did it together with Zone Hahake (East Zone) so about 40ish missionaries. 

Other Zones teaching + Mine and Satus teaching + Sister APs + APs + President talking = very long meeting. Loved it! 😁  I really feel re-energized to go back into our area and work much harder and more efficiently. We did a whole lot of role plays which is what the zones needed! Lots of room to improve.

I'ma just send a quick email so here's the updates for the week:

Had a greeatt lesson with our Hou'eiki (Noble) (King of Tongas Grand-niece) investigator AKA we got a baptismal date! 😇😇 the only thing she told us is that she wants to see a baptism first.. soo we called in the big guns... haha. President Tui'one was at our Stake Conference last Sunday and we told him our situation, and he says, "Ok, Ill talk to Prince 'Ata." YUPP. We bringing the Kings son who is a very strong member in on the operation😎😎 Fingers crossed and praying big that all will go well!

Stake Conference was an awesome thing to be apart of! Me and Satu joined in on the choir haha, Im so bad at singing tbh

One of the members that got asked to share a short testimony at the Saturday evening session basically spent the whole time telling our investigator that was there to join the church and she needs to get baptized haha. Everyone was laughing the whole time. Tongas ways of missionary work always make me laugh, people are so straight forward sometimes.

Our house is currently full of:

1) Bed Bugs 
2) Rats (Cheweys children and grandchildren)
3) Lizards

Sooo hopefully it gets sprayed for at least bed bugs soon haha. Tired of sleeping on the ground.

2 final things:

1) Corn is a definite NO GO in Tonga. So nasty

2) One of our less-active members told us about how in Tonga if you get pulled over, you just give the police $10 and they'll let you go haha. I thought he was kidding so I asked him if he's ever done that and he was like, "Yeah! I did last week!" smh Tongan Policeman 

FAKAUHA (It rained)(Really Hard)


LAST ITEM OF BUSINESS:

HAPPY ANIVERSARY TO MY ONGO MATU'A (PARENTS) THIS UPCOMING WEEK! LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!😘😘
