It has been weeks since I have actually written a blog email so here it goes. I have been doing well, but we have been so busy! When I first arrived in this area there were just a few families that attended church. Lately we have really put a lot of effort and emphasis on church attendance. Now we have so many investigators coming to church! Members are bringing nonmember friends even. Yesterday we had so many people that there were three rows of chairs outside because there wasn't enough room to fit everyone in our chapel. We have been focusing on extending more baptism commitments. It is sometimes scary because we worry that they will say no. But since we have done that we have had so many people want to be baptized, read the book of Mormon, and come to church. We have been teaching these two girls who want to be baptized. They are 12 and 15. We were concerned that the mom would not give permission for them to be baptized. We met with her on Friday night to ask after she got home from work. Much to our surprise, she said she really wanted them to be baptized and she actually would like to come to church herself. She wanted them baptized the next day, but we haven't finished the lessons so we will do it this coming Saturday. 
We went to Nukui yesterday and the priesthood men in our branch are working to open it up right now for proselyting. 
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...
