Malolelei sieku Famili ofeina! Oku mou fefe hake?
Here's an update on my work here in Talau/Neiafu Vava'u from this past week or so.
I'm still here in the same area working with my comp Elder Fifita from NZ. So far, my last 2 companions have been from New Zealand, so I've been learning a lot more about things over there. Also, these guys have got me thinking consider moving over there and playing Rugby instead of Football🤔. Guess we'll see after the mission! Ay Robert's is that us tokz👀?🤣
Always grateful for how the mission has brought me life-long friends I'd call brothers from places all over. I think all missions are like that, but being here in Tonga is just special when you're on a small island with not much, and only you and your companion are there for each other.
We have a new intake coming in this week, so that will mean a transfer, but I'm just hoping I don't get transferred from this area or have to train. Lol I think my mission president likes putting me with new guys cause I've been getting them for almost a year now. Guess we'll find out probably by next week.
Last week was a really neat experience being able to meet my dads cousin "Sulieti" and her husband as well as my little first cousin "Connie". I was able to go to their home in Ha'alafuli, which is actually in the same spot where my grandpa Maikelis home is, and that was definitely special just being there. I was only there a short time, but was able to go over with my companion and eat at their home. I'm hoping to go again to see all of my grandpa's land that I've always heard about.
Another reason I am blessed to be serving here. Meet family and see the land of my ancestors.
This past week, we were able to go back on a boat to the small island we cover here "Ofu". We went for just 1 day and were able to go around visit, meet with the few people that live there and also do some service. We went to the bush with this family to help them get some coconuts to feed their pigs. They seemed surprised that I knew how to climb a coconut tree, but that's one of the things I learned after working a long time on the island Haapai. Ooh we were also able to play some rugby there during our visit on the small grass field next to the chapel and the beach. I'll never forget these times. The small islands, pretty beaches and loving people.
After a lot of searching and praying me and my Companion finally found someone to teach. We met this girl named Moli who is 25 and good friends with one of our members. I actually found out that we are somehow related distant but still cool. Anyways after church we were able to teach her about the Plan of Salvation. As we finished up the lesson and I shared these verses from 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 Moli was in tears. The spirit was really strong. She thanked us and shared how she needed to hear that because her brother and father had both passed recently and she thought that was the end.
I am grateful for the hope our Savior and his Gospel gives us all. Like Moli there are so many people that need to hear the truth of the Gospel and the Plan our Heavenly Father has for all of us. We will continue to teach her next week and I look forward to that. Another thing we've been able to do lately is using the Priesthood blessing the sick. I always count the times I've been able to give a blessing because I have seen first hand miracles in the power of the Priesthood.
I am always grateful to be serving the Lord doing his work in the place where my feet stand.
Love and miss you all.
