Windy wellyz

Kia ora tatou. Hope you all had a great week this week. The week here was pretty good.


The weather here was awful this week though. It feels like I haven't seen the sun the entire time I've been in Porirua. It's supposed to be spring and warming up, but it seems to be getting colder than it has been. Everyday has been windy as and super rainy. It's been pretty miserable for the work but we're toughing through it. The weather was the worst on Saturday and of course this was the day that we gave the car to the other elders. So, we walked all day in the 50 mph winds and pouring rain. After a while, we stopped at a members house and watched the All Blacks rugby team destroy Italy in the rugby world cup. Go All Blacks!!! I should have known the weather was going to be trash when the nickname for the Wellington area is windy wellyz. Please pray that the sun will come out soon in Porirua.

Anyways, other than all of that the week was awesome. We were able to put our friend Genardo Filipo on date for the 28th of October. He's a 10 year old Samoan kid. His parents are inactive, but they want to get him baptized. And they want to start coming back to church now too, so that's pretty cool. We're also hoping to get some of our other friends on date for baptism. Hopefully we can see some miracles happen. 

Nothing really interesting happened this week. It's just depressing seeing everybody else watch conference when we have to wait a week to see it. Patience is indeed a virtue. Please don't send me any spoilers or anything, I'm trying to not know anything before I watch it.

Alright, well I love you all and hope the best for you all. Just know I'm happy out here and loving the mission💙.

one of our Kiribati🇰🇮 friends gave us a candy that's only made there. Its basically coconut cooked in caramel and rolled up in a ball. It was actually delicious. I can't remember the word for it and I wouldn't even bother trying to pronounce it.

Zone conferences

Ata marie whanau! I hope that you have all had a good week, I love and miss you all! These last 2 week were pretty good to be honest. We kept really busy so that was good. Last week and this week we have had zone conferences in the north island and in the south island. We had Palmerston North zone, Flaxmere zone, and Hastings zone conference to start the week. Then, we had a day for exchanges with the Flaxmere elders. The next day we had to drive back to Wellington from Hawkes Bay which is 4 hour drive with no stops. So we drove back and then we had a flight that evening, so we had to get packed up and ready to get on the plane. Basically we spent the whole day traveling. These last couple of days we have spent in Dunedin and Christchurch on the south island, it has been really fun. I always enjoy coming down here because I get to see areas that I never served in and I get to see some cool parts of New Zealand. Overall, it has been a really good week and time has been flying.  The ...

South Island trip

Kia ora everybody!!! I hope you all had a great week!! These last 2 weeks were super busy but very good. We finished up our zone conferences this week. We traveled the north island and south island this whole week and the week before for zone conferences. It was great and super spiritual, but I am definitely tired of traveling haha. That was my last trip I'll do so I'm definitely grateful to be done with them. A quick update with our friend Lili. She's doing great, she's come to church every week the last 3 weeks. There is only one hold up. We had to postpone her baptism for some word of wisdom stuff. But, it isn't anything too major so she'll probably get baptized in 2 or 3 weeks. She has been a miracle in my mission. I'm a little sad that i won't be here for her baptism cuz i go home next week, but I'm grateful I got to be a part of the process. We learned this week that she met a missionary senior couple 5 years ago and they invited her to be bapt...

Miracles!!

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...
