Ni Sa Bula Vinaka,
I am doing well, And this is honestly a really good area. Even though one of us is gone half the time, the work is still going well. I love exchanges, even though they are draining. my goal for each of them is to "be interested, not interesting". I ask them questions until they go off about themselves, their culture, the work, anything so I can get to know them better. I have worked my hardest about putting the spotlight on them for the most part of the exchange, and then complimenting everything good that they do in the work. I have seen miracles and I have also been able to love the sisters with more of an understanding of where they come for and an appreciation for them. I have also learned a lot about cultures and just about them as people. They love feeling understood! 
I really do like being STL, and I hope to keep going strong, and eventually get used to it:)

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...
