Bula Vinaka,
I hope you all have had a great week. This week has been good for me, I have gotten to know my area a little bit better. There were a lot of people who the sisters were still teaching when I came in, so we have been focusing on them and have not found a lot of new people. This week I really feel that we need to do more finding. The good news is that the area is so big that there are so many people we can find and teach! The bad news is that the area is so big the people are very far from where we hold church and it is difficult for them to make the trip every week, especially to get started. We had a baptism on Saturday, so that was great! on Sunday morning we called to see if she would be in church. Her mom answered the phone and informed us that she would be attending Methodist church today, not LDS. There was nothing we could do, and she was supposed to be confirmed in church! We called her friend and fellowshipper who lives close to her. She was going right then to pick her up from her house. In about 20 minutes they arrived along with the girl who was baptized. Thank goodness for fellowshippers! 
In other news, I was transferred last week! I am in the city now, no longer in the bush... 
This area is so much bigger than my other area! I finally kind of know where everything is, and I am learning the members slowly. There are so many hills here, so I get a good workout every day from walking up and down. I can also see the ocean from my area which is beautiful.
Vinaka Vakalevu,

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...
