Sick and 1 year

Kia ora yall, hows the week going for everybody? Hope yall had a great week. This week was kinda rough not going to lie.


Not much happened this week because me and my companion got super sick for half the week. So, we weren't able to do much. But, we had exchanges with Blenheim for the other days. That was awesome. We saw some great miracles come from it. We saw a cool miracle with a couple of teenage boys walking home from school. Me and Elder Agung were stepping out of our car to go visit somebody. I noticed a kid walking down the street, but I for some reason just didn't feel like talking to him. Which is weird because I usually talk to everybody we see. Not too sure why I didnt. Anyways, he started walking past us and when he walked past me he yelled "**** man your tall as ****". I started laughing and then had a good chat with him. He was super cool and talked to me about how he finds contradictions in the Bible. I was about to start to teaching about the book of Mormon and stuff, but then 2 more guys interrupted us. We started chatting with them as well. It was an awesome conversation and they were all keen to learn more about the Book of Mormon. So, please keep Israel, Kaziah, and Andres in your prayers!

That's about it tho. Not much else happened this week because we were sick. This next week is going to be great tho. 

Also, 1 year ago today I was set apart to be a missionary. It's pretty crazy thinking about how much I've changed since 1 year ago today. So far I've had 6 areas and 11 companions. I've loved my mission so far and wouldn't change it for anything. This year honestly flew by, it feels like last month I was set apart. I guess time flies when your working hard. To any of you who are on the fence of serving a mission, or don't want to. I would like to say that going on a mission is the best choice anybody can make. It's super hard and there's a lot of rough days, but it's totally worth it. I've grown more in this 1 year than I have in my entire life. So, just go on a mission yall! Here's a great scripture to describe a mission:
Alma 26:29
29 And we have entered into their houses and taught them, and we have taught them in their streets; yea, and we have taught them upon their hills; and we have also entered into their temples and their synagogues and taught them; and we have been cast out, and mocked, and spit upon, and smote upon our cheeks; and we have been stoned, and taken and bound with strong cords, and cast into prison; and through the power and wisdom of God we have been delivered again.

Anyways, I love yous heaps. Aroha!

                                                           cut of the week. Gave Elder Malungahu a nice taper


                the bros Israel, Kaziah, and Andres. They love the Book of Norman(this is what they thought it was called)

                            
                                                                              zone got the matching drip

                                                                                               the district

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...

Malo e lelei everybody!! This week was a pretty solid week. We kept super busy and had some success in our area. This week was transfers so we spent Monday to Thursday having meetings and planning for this next transfer. It is always a pretty stressful time, but we've made it and I won't have to do that again so I'm happy. We had a great MLC meeting on Wednesday. The spirit was super strong the whole time. It was definitely my favorite one that I have had. We had a lot of success with one of our friends that we found last week. Her name is Lili, I think I mentioned her last week. Anyways, this week we caught up with her and had a lesson. We set a date for baptism with her on the 27th of this month. She also came to church the next day and loved every minute of it. We have multiple members that are fellowshipping her. They have invited her to institute and other activities. It has been awesome to see. She is progressing so fast that I can't even keep up. Never in my miss...

Kia ora whanau!! I hope you have all had a great week. This week was pretty solid. We had some miracles which was awesome. We were able to focus on our area a lot this week. We found some new people to teach and had some great lessons. I would like to share a miracle that happened this week. Last Wednesday in daily planning I felt inspired to continue knocking a street that we had knocked the week before. So, we planned for that. But, our schedule ended up getting pushed back because we got busy, and we had to decide whether we wanted to knock that street or do the things that got pushed back. I felt again that we should go and knock that street. So, we did. The very first door we knocked on was a girl named Lili. God had definitely been preparing her for us. She told us that she had just recently started to look for another church to attend. She also said that she was looking for people that could teach her about their church. We said "well here we are". We gave her a Book o...
