Ngarau Hina's baptism

Manuia le aso everybody! So sorry that this is a little bit late. I suck at writing these emails every week, sorry Mom.

We had transfers to deal with this last week. It was busy and hectic, but it was good. I'm hoping that that is the last time I will be helping out with those. Transfer weeks are exhausting. Other than that, the work is still going pretty slowly. We have one friend that is progressing though. His name is Kyle, he has been reading the Book of Mormon every single day. But his only hold up is that he goes to his own church, and doesn't think it’s right to join another one. It has been really cool to teach him though because over time we have been able to see the Book of Mormon changing him. We taught him last night and it was so obvious that the Book of Mormon was helping him draw closer to Jesus Christ. So, please pray for Kyle everybody.

I was able to attend a girls baptism that I had found and taught about 6 months ago. It was super cool because we had put her on date a long time ago, but things happened and they had to move the date back. But the elders have been working with her lately and she finally was able to be baptized this last weekend. The rest of her family is doing pretty good and we are hoping that they will all follow in her footsteps. It is a family of 8 so if they all get baptized that would be pretty awesome.

Other than that, we have been keeping ourselves busy. I’m sure the ward is starting to get tired of seeing me around, I've been in this same area and ward for about 7 or 8 months now. Hopefully they’re not tired of me yet haha.  Anyways, I'm hoping this week we’ll be able to get out and work in our area more. 

Life is good, and I love you all. Have a good one everybody.

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...

Last month, last transfer

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...
