Bula Vinaka from Sister Wayment

Bula! What a great week. The days here are so full of things to do that the time flies!

I know that by myself I couldn't do even half of what I am doing every day. P- day has been much needed! (especially for laundry). I love going to the temple every week because I know that there I can not worry about anything except feeling the spirit. I love being a missionary!

It is so cold here in the mornings! We have three teachers who all went to Fiji on their missions. We have an elder from New Guinea who is going through the temple for the first time, so we got to go with him today! Me and Sister Wilcox share a room with two sisters going to Tonga, one of which is Tongan. The first night she asked me if I was from Micronesia. When I said no, she said I looked Polynesian or a mix, so that was funny. One of the members of our Branch Presidency interviewed me last night and showed me a picture of his son-in-law who is a first generation Fijian. I think he (the member of the Branch Presidency) is...

I'm Off! Bula everyone! I made it to my classroom! They said to write you a short email to let you know I am fine. We went right into learning the language. I hope you all have a great day!  Love, Sister Wayment
