Bula Vinaka!
This week has been an interesting week. Both my companion and I have been sick so we stayed in Thursday and Friday we went in so she could see a doctor. The doctor told her to stay in for the weekend. We stayed in that day, but by the time 7:00 in the evening hit, we were bored out of our minds. The missionary video library is limited to the first vision and a few other videos. We watched those a couple of times and read some new testament stories for kids. We finally just decided to leave to teach a few lessons. We got out and it was nice to get some fresh air. And to teach! Our flat is so small, it is actually a basement of a house and consists of 2 rooms. So it is the worst being sick! Anyways we survived. 
On Tuesday we were doing some finding and there is this house in this one area and all these guys are always inside and invite us in for lunch. We always decline the invitation, but we decided to make them some of our investigators. This one older man came out and said, "sisters! come in and have tea". We said, "thank you, but can we share with you someday?" he said he was free on Sunday and that his name was Pauliasi. We went back yesterday, and went to the house and asked for Pauliasi. This one man came out, not the man we had talked to, and said that he was Pauliasi. We said a man had inviting us saying he was Pauliasi. His wife came out and said that was their talatala, which is their preacher. They invited us in and they were very interested! They have two kids and one of the kid's name is Emily! They said they had never met with missionaries but they wanted to learn more about the church. So that was an interesting find!
I hope you all have a great and safe week

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...
