Bula Vinaka, 
This week has been so so busy! We were able to find 23 new people and set 4 people for a baptismal date! What a great week. Unfortunately, Saturday and Sunday were less effective with several drop appointments and some rain... but that happens :) 
This one woman we have been teaching lives down in this little settlement. At night there are no street lights and everyone goes to bed early, so it is silent. She lives kindof in a shack, and she told us she is scared to be at home at night. She won't even go outside. She then told us she started to read the Book of Mormon when her kids were asleep and it gave her a lot of peace and comfort. I know that is true as well! I have seen the power of the Book of Mormon in my life, especially as I study it every day. I know that it offers the peace, comfort, and spiritual protection we need so much in this life. 
We had exchanges this week that went very well. And, I had spaghetti for dinner!!!!!! It wasn't quite the same as at home, but it was something! I never realized how much I missed American food until we went to a member's house for dinner. Haha, it is funny how you don't realize how much you have been missing something until you see it again. 
Transfers are this week, but I don't expect any change. I am happy to stay in this area because we have a lot of progressing people I want to see baptized!
I hope you all have a great and safe week
loloma yani,

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...
