Justin's Farewell...October 22, 2018

Justin's Farewell was held at the Elk Ridge 4th Ward on October 22, 2018 at 11:00 am.  He spoke about his trip to the Narrows at Zions Canyon earlier in the week, and how that related to faith.  He was reminded by the High Councilman to:

1.  Remember His Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. Always
2.  Love his companion.  Always.
3.  Love the Fijian people.  Always.

Well...I've Been Hit by a Car (Week #12)

                                      Bula Vinaka! Well, good news, we have some pictures!  Yay! Bad news, I forgot to take many, so we have 3! Also bad news, I've been hit by a car. This past week has been pretty good. I celebrated my birthday, it was kind of weird without having to celebrate 3 in a row like we used to do, but hey, I'm 1 year older now. And maybe wiser, we'll have to see on that part. Other good news, I am feeling pretty healthy. However, Elder Jessee wasn't feeling the best, so we had to go down to Nausori town to go to the doctors. He's doing good now, but we went on my birthday, and the Zone Leaders said, "Hey, let's go find food for your birthday." So we got some fancy food, and cheesecake, which was really good.                                       ...

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!

Well...I Guess This is It! 12/7/2018

As the title says, this is it. I'm leaving the MTC in the next couple days, and to be honest, I'm stressing just a little bit. But I guess that's normal. My experience here has been really great for the most part, but I'm also a little ready to leave. The problem is I'm not exactly ready to go. But I guess that's alright, seeing as I'm leaving on Monday.  I've decided that there haven't exactly been a whole lot of pictures, and there probably won't be a whole ton in this e-mail, but I have decided that Elder Collier could be one of the models on the guidelines for mission appropriate clothing. Unless you consider his feet, which wear the Jerusalem Cruisers. Seeing as I for some reason can't send pictures right now, I'll just tell you about the rest of my week. It got very cold suddenly, but snow will do that.  I also want to insert this line from a song to demonstrate how breakfast has been going: When I was a lad I ate 3...
