Bula Vinaka!
The day after Christmas, the 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.

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...
