Bula Vinaka!
his week has been a great week. We had two exchanges with Tamavua sisters and Kuku sisters. That was my first time being in a trio my whole mission during exchanges with the Tamavua sisters so that was very exciting. It was also fun to go back to my old area and see some people I used to help teach. This week we are going to have three more exchanges so we will be really tired after that, but I am excited :) The following week we are giving trainings in 4 zone conferences.
The missionaries have never been there before. It was way fun to use any Chinese words I remembered and they all started yelling when we brought out the book of Mormon. They said, "we read that! we read that!" the little 8 year old ran into the house and brought out a book of Mormon her teacher had given her from school. She says she loves Jesus and she knows He is happy whenever she listens to her parents. The coolest thing is that my last area is literally down the road from this area. there are not a lot of Chinese speaking members in Fiji overall and there was one returned missionary who is fluent in mandarin that I knew from my last area. I called him yesterday and he is so excited to help us. He will even be attending our ward with us this week to help them get adjusted and explain everything because they don't speak much English. We had an awesome week!

We set William on date to be baptized yesterday and he has his parents' support! He should be getting baptized on the 9th of November.

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...
