Bula Vinaka! Our area is doing really good. We have seen a lot of miracles in it. One of which was this lady that sister 'Aliki and I found a few weeks ago. We shared BOM as an OYM, and when we went back for a return appointment, she had had a baby so we hadn't been back for a while. I decided we should check her this week again to see if she was back. She was and she said she had been waiting for us to come back because she really liked the BOM and had read up to 2 Nephi already. Yesterday we had the opportunity to share the Plan of Salvation with her. We asked her what her thoughts were and she said that it made her happy learning about it and that she wants to go to the Celestial Kingdom with her whole family. She asked us if that was possible because her current church teaches that you will not recognize or know your family members after you die. We assured her that she could. This was a great experience for us because it helped us to realize that people are prepared t...

Bula Vinaka! this week it has been hot, hot, and hot! It seems like at the end of every transfer the work slowly diminishes and then picks up again, no matter how hard we try. True to form, our people were suddenly very busy, not coming to church, and stopped reading their Book of Mormons. so that was pretty discouraging, but it is a new week now :) Thursday and Wednesday were exceptionally hard days, and the sun burned us so bad. The entire night I had a stomach ache and the whole of Friday. with a back ache too. But it is all better now. Transfer calls are tomorrow, and we are looking forward to them :) Loloma Bibi, Sista Wayment

Bula Vinaka! We had our baptism this week! Iva and Elenoa got baptized!!!! The ward was so supportive and about half the chapel was filled. The baptisms went so well and the young women invited them both to sing in a musical number in Sacrament meeting after.  Transfers are next week, because this transfer is 7 weeks long. They would normally be this coming Wednesday. So we will know what is happening in a little over a week. This transfer has literally flown by. Sister 'Aliki and I keep talking about how fast it has gone.  Today I am starting my self reliance/after the mission classes. We do them online so I am excited for that. Loloma Bibi, Sista Wayment

Bula Vinaka! our people are awesome! We have two girls getting baptized this Sunday. They come to church almost every week and they even come play games with us and the other missionaries in our district every P-day. They had their baptism interview with our district leader last night and we were sitting inside the house playing with the younger kids. We usually don't just sit there for a long time and I think the dad felt more comfortable to talk with us. He talked with us the entire time during the interview and then he turned and started asking questions about where we go after we die. We are going back tonight, but after we left the girls told us he doesn't go to church on Sundays but does his own church at home. AND, he gets them up every Sunday so they can be ready to come to church with us. We are going to start teaching him and hopefully the rest of the family. and we are hoping to get them all to the girl's baptism on Sunday :):):) Loloma bibi, Sista Waymen...

Bula  Vinaka! This week we have had an awesome week! Some of our people are actually progressing, and we set a Muslim family on date yesterday! They will hopefully be baptized at the end of this month. We found this family my first week here, and it is honestly a miracle that they are so prepared for us. The kids came to church yesterday and the mom will come next week. I feel like the scripture in Alma 16:16-17 is very true in our area right now,  16 And there was a no inequality among them; the Lord did pour out his Spirit on all the face of the land to prepare the minds of the children of men, or to prepare their b hearts to receive the word which should be taught among them at the time of his coming— 17 That they might not be hardened against the word, that they might not be unbelieving, and go on to destruction, but that they might receive the word with joy, and as a a branch be grafted into the true vine, that they might enter into the b rest of the Lord thei...

Bula Vinaka! The day after Christmas,  t he cyclone was supposed to hit. It didn't hit us, mostly like a bad storm here. We even went out to visit our people during it. We went home right after we finished our appointments and the power was off all night. Nothing else, though just a lot of rain and wind. My last flat in Samabula, though, the window broke! It really hit Suva hard and they had to evacuate missionaries because of flooding. But we were all just fine. Even though we didn't feel a lot of the effects of the storm, they canceled church for us yesterday. For the whole stake, but I am assuming all on Viti Levu. the saddest part was that we couldn't take the sacrament, and we had quite a few people planning on coming to church. None of them were answering their phones in the morning, and so we walked to their houses and brought them church magazines to read instead of going to church.  We are hoping to set more baptismal dates in this area this coming week. Lol...
