Bula Vinaka!
We have been good this week, we had three baptisms! Two sisters we found, and then another girl that has been taught for a while, but hasn't committed to baptism and she finally got baptized! It was really cool too because her uncle who raised her showed up. I had never met him before and I went up to shake his hand. He kind of looked like a member but I found out he wasn't so we were able to meet with him yesterday. He is really sincere and has a lot of Faith in God. He grew up Catholic and almost went to school to become a Catholic Priest, but his father died when he was 14 and so he started to work at that age to support his mom and his other 5 siblings. He became an electrical engineer but retired several years ago. We just hope he will be willing to try to change and see a need to change.
Other than that we are doing more finding, and staying busy. Next week is the last week of the transfer!

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...
