So, what do we actually do if there's a hurricane?" (Week #11)






Bula Vinaka!

Well, good news, we are doing fine. No hurricane issues really, it kind of disappeared on Tuesday.


In better news, I found my camera cord, so we get pictures this week! Yay!

In this past week, I went on an exchange to the Nausatoka area, but unfortunately, I forgot my camera there, because it's beautiful. But later went with one of the ZL's, and found a super sketchy bridge to cross over, so that was fun. I honestly don't remember a whole lot of what happened this week, but that was probably because I wasn't actually in my own area for a couple of the days of the week.



Spiritual thought for the week. Do the Come Follow Me thing. I was looking at the one for Sunday School earlier, and just by skimming over it, it seemed fantastic. I think that the Leaders of the Church are really inspired, just by seeing how they are going to be putting more focus on the home and making it more centered on Christ.

Au lomani iko!

And so it begins... Mission Papers Submitted:                 June 24, 2018 Mission Call Assigned:                      June 28, 2018 Mission Call Received and Opened:  July 9, 2018 Wow!  That was fast!  Justin will be going to the Provo MTC on October 31, 2018 to serve in the Fiji, Suva Mission speaking Fijian (or at least attempting to) for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  When Tommy heard that Justin had been called to serve in Fiji...he dropped everything and came over in his sulu to share some memories with Justin.  It was incredible!  He even gave Justin his very first sulu and Fijian Book of Mormon.  We couldn't have asked for a better finish to an amazing day!

Week 2...or Maybe It's 3

Well, I guess the first thing to say here is that I’m doing rather well, unless you relate the amount of pictures I send directly to how I’m doing because I’ve only got one (he actually sent two) this week. This is Elder Collier next to Emma, the Cardboard Girlfriend (In the process of trademarking) I really don’t know why this picture is a thing. This is Elder Suapaia? I in the hammock I recently rediscovered last night. It’s also rather comfortable to sleep in. This last Tuesday, we had a devotional with Elder Gary E Stevenson, and he talked a lot about how missionary work has changed. He also said something that I think would be good to hear. Obedience bring blessings. Blessings bring happiness. As a group we’ve been trying to work on that, specifically going to bed on time. Time to confess something, it’s not always easy to get along with everyone here. They all have their quirks, good and bad. Part of the problem is that I have discovered that past

"The only way to get there, is to get a little bit of mud on the tires." (January 6, 2019)

Bula Vinaka! So, I'm sorry to say that I don't know where my cord that plugs into the computer and my camera is, so sorry, but it'll hopefully show up so ya'll can get pictures. I guess the first thing is that there is a class 2 cyclone coming my way, so that's fun. There's been a ton of rain and mud, but, as a song says, "The only way to get there, is to get a little bit of mud on the tires." So far, it's been safe to go out, but if it gets much worse, we might get to stay in the flat for a couple of days, because this storm is moving really slowly for some reason. Second, because of all the mud, I have slipped up once or twice, and landed in it, so if I find my cord someday, ya'll will see pictures. I guess the next thing is that I have discovered that if you have a complete change in dietary intake, you tend to get some stomach issues. It's been a weird adventure, but I'm doing all right, just warning you all if you ever
