Sister Tupuola had a wonderful and successful first week at the MTC. She's studying and working very hard to do what is require of her. From waking up early studying the scriptures, going to classes, eating tons of yummy food, and walking constantly. Busy girl! I'm so happy to know how much she's learning through the Holy Spirit and speaking more than her usual self. Dira is progressing more and more each day. As her aunty, I couldn't be more proud of her. She's even taught the gospel discussion to 4 people who are learning about the gospel. One of the girls who she's preaching the gospel to, got emotional & cried as Sister Tupuola and her companion Sister Pressler from Tennessee bore their testimonies. How amazing is it to hear such a wonderful experience she's witness just on her first week as a missionary. God is great! He knows how much he needs Sister Tupuola to serve & teach the gospel to His children in the world. Great job Dira!!

 I can't wait to hear more about your MTC and missionary experiences next week!!
