Bula Vinaka!

our people are awesome! We have two girls getting baptized this Sunday. They come to church almost every week and they even come play games with us and the other missionaries in our district every P-day. They had their baptism interview with our district leader last night and we were sitting inside the house playing with the younger kids. We usually don't just sit there for a long time and I think the dad felt more comfortable to talk with us. He talked with us the entire time during the interview and then he turned and started asking questions about where we go after we die. We are going back tonight, but after we left the girls told us he doesn't go to church on Sundays but does his own church at home. AND, he gets them up every Sunday so they can be ready to come to church with us. We are going to start teaching him and hopefully the rest of the family. and we are hoping to get them all to the girl's baptism on Sunday :):):)

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...
