Ni Sa Bula Vinaka! Sorry it has been a few weeks... a lot has happened. My companion ended up in the hospital from falling off the steps and was there for three days. She stayed in Samabula for a week while I came here with another companion. But she came back yesterday so that is great! Christmas was good, except the people kept feeding us until we were literally sick. And they wouldn't believe us when we said we were full. Haha I had to do some extra workouts after that. Christmas morning a woman in our ward called and asked if we were awake. When we affirmed that we were, she said "okay, I'm sending lagi" (her son). He came over with an entire carrot cake. The rest of the day went a lot like that. 
We had our first baptism on Saturday! Keresi was someone we found last transfer, and it was incredible to see her enter the waters of baptism.
I hope you all have a great week
Loloma bibi, 
Sister Wayment

Bula Vinaka! Transfers are this week, but I probably won't leave, I would be surprised if we get a call. we have three sisters coming in, one of whom we have to accompany to her appointment with the US embassy to get her visa for another mission. So that will be interesting, and a lot of busy work. But I guess someone has to do it. we have gotten a lot of referrals one of which came to church yesterday and we set on date for baptism yesterday as well :) Loloma bibi, Sista Wayment

2 Months!

Bula Vinaka! This week has been a great week. We have extended a lot of baptismal invitations and we think a few of them might be baptized! We have been teaching an Indian family. The mom only speaks Hindi and the dad speaks limited English and Fijian. We have brought the Hindi elders over to help us to teach them, and they say they want to be baptized! They came to church yesterday. When they came a member of our bishopric was giving a talk in Fijian and occasionally was yelling. so I think they were a little scared. We are going to bring Hindi speaking members over to visit them this week so hopefully they will feel a little more comfortable. As the Christmas season is coming closer, I have been thinking about the Savior and what He has done for me. Of course we celebrate His birth on Christmas, but the greatest thing He has done for each of us is die in behalf of us. No matter where we are in life, what mistakes we have made, or how much we have been hurt, the Savior unders...
