Where on earth did he go?

Kia ora whanau! How is everybody? I hope yall are doing good! Life has been just fine recently. I've been loving the mission. This area has been a lot of fun. Today, I got to see lil nephew Coop crawl. That was mindboggling to me. He needs to stop growing so much, I feel like I'm missing out on his whole childhood. Anyways, let's get into it.


Not much happened this week. Just a lot of work and a lot of rain. New Zealand rains so much. It honestly sucks. But there is a reason this place is so green and beautiful. Also, not to flex but I can now sing head shoulders knees and toes in Tongan. I spent a whole member meal with the Tuatongas going through it with them.

A little update on the work. The work is going good. I'm going to teach my companion how to ride a bike which is cool. I'm excited. We've also been starting to see some more miracles. Finally got this area up and running. We put our friend Ashudosh on date for June 10th. He was the guy I talked about last week that came to church. We had some lessons with him and he's super excited to be baptized! Although, we had a sad day on Sunday. We were expecting him to come. And he walked into the chapel. So, we walked him into his seat. But, me and my companion had to go up to the stand to bless the sacrament. So we weren't able to sit with him. Like right as the meeting starts, ashudosh just got up and left. I was so confused. I thought he was going to the bathroom or something. But nah, he just dipped. So that was really sad. Turns out he was just feeling sick. So hopefully next week will be better. Keep him in your prayers yall!

That's all from me folks. I love you all and hope you have a great week. Let me know if I can pray for anybody please.

Malo e lelei everybody! I hope that you have all had a wonderful week. I hope that each of you wished your mothers a happy mothers day. If you haven't, make sure to go do that now. I would also like to apologize for being terrible at writing emails every week, especially to my mother. It's been a busy few weeks, but they have been awesome. We got to go to the temple again last week. So that meant packing up and driving a van 7 hours up to Hamilton with a bunch of other missionaries. It was super fun, I love a good road trip. I'm so blessed to have gone on a couple temple trips while I've been serving here. It is not to easy to get up there, and it definitely isn't cheap. Each time I go I am reminded of God's Plan of Salvation. One of the things that really stood out to me this time is that when we sacrifice things in our life, it is a similitude to the Savior's sacrifice. Obviously, we can never compare our sacrifices to His ultimate sacrifice, but sacrifice...

Jonah's baptism

Image
Kia ora everybody!! I hope you all had a great week. This week was very busy for us, but it was also an awesome week. Most of the week we spent just focusing on preparing for the baptism. Other than that, we had some pretty good days of work. We put another one of our friends on date for January 5th. His name is Dante and he's doing really good right now with the discussions. He has a ton of member support from his uncle and he's coming to church heaps. His mother, that is really inactive, came to church for the first time in a year or so. So, that has been really cool to see. I'm loving the area right now because everything is starting to click and we're starting to get things rolling. Anyways, we had Jonahs baptism on Saturday. That was an awesome experience. The spirit was so strong and heaps of people came to it as well. His entire family is either inactive or nonmembers, and they all came to the baptism. It was good for them to be there and I hope they were able to...

Scabies and hospital trips

Image
Kia ora everybody!! I hope you have all had a fantastic couple of weeks. To be completely honest mine haven't been. But that's alright. Anyways, not much to report on for these last 2 weeks, unfortunately. So, me and my companion and the other elders in our flat were put in quarantine all of last week, along with other companionships in the zone. I was exposed to a bug called Scabies, you may have heard the name. I actually was infested by the bug. I had bites all over my back and arms. It really isn't that harmful of a bug, just feels like mosquito bites. But, it's pretty serious because it can spread really easily. So, we had to coop ourselves up in our flat for a whole week. We had to deep clean everything to help get rid of it. Other than that, we did nothing but sit around the flat and play card games. Safe to say we were all a little depressed, but we made it out. We got out of quarantine this last Monday and I was excited to just get out of the house and do some ...
