To Tongan!

Hey! This week was insane! 


We got transfer news last night and after only being in the Marshallese/Jordan N. stake for 1 transfer I'm moving to the Tongan Central stake! This was super weird because in all of my areas so far I've been there for 4-6 months but this area I've only been in for 1 transfer. I'm super sad to leave already because of all of the success we've been having but I'm excited to serve the Tongan people as well! 

I've now served English, Somoan, Marshallese and now Tongan! Crazy!!! 

Anywayy....here's some things that happened this last week---> 

Aeto and Alicia got married last Monday! My first wedding! It was such a cool experience, we went to the county clerks office to get the paperwork and then their bishop married them in his office! Since they were married and keeping the word of wisdom they decided to move their baptism date to Oct 12th instead of Oct 19th! Their baptism was the most chaotic thing ever but the spirit was so strong! They're such great examples!  

This week we helped with the Deseret Peak temple again! We seriously got signed up to help the perfect time because Elder Neil L. Anderson was there giving some people a tour and I was able to shake his hand and talk to him for a bit! He's super nice incase anyone was wondering! 

Had a pros exchanges with sister Shephard! It went well, we talked to lots of people and had a few lessons! 

Chase, Jaxon and Gabrielle also got baptized on Saturday! It was such a special experience! They were so excited and received lots of support from the ward! 

We had our first after baptism lesson with Aeto and Alicia Sunday evening and we met 2 of their neices, Rita and Terina that live with them! They both came to the baptism with their parents and LOVED IT we had a lesson with them as well and put them on date to be baptized November 2nd since they have the strongest desire to be baptized! AHHH Aeto and Alicia are crazy awesome examples! 

On Sunday we got 3 super elect referalls from ward members! One was a teenage boy named SaiSai who reached out to the bishop and asked how he could be baptized! We were able to contact him and set up a lesson for this week! Super sad I won't be able to meet him but it's okay :)


Spiritual moment:

I love President Russel M. Nelson's talk from this past conference! His words are so powerful and so true !

"My dear brothers and sisters, in a coming day, Jesus Christ will return to the earth as the millennial Messiah. So today I call upon you to rededicate your lives to Jesus Christ. I call upon you to help gather scattered Israel and to prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Lord. I call upon you to talk of Christ, testify of Christ, have faith in Christ, and rejoice in Christ! Come unto Christ and “offer your whole soul” to Him. This is the secret to a life of joy! The best is yet to come, my dear brothers and sisters, because the Savior is coming again! The best is yet to come because the Lord is hastening His work. The best is yet to come as we fully turn our hearts and our lives to Jesus Christ." 

LOVE Y'ALL!

A Week Of Many Lasts ♡

HELLLLOOO FRIENDS! on a scale of 1-10 on how crazy this past week was I would say a 5. so that's pretty good. No car accidents this week. Hallelujah Ahhh but this week so many bittersweet things happened so let's begin!  So first. We went on pros exchanges! Keep in mind that Sister Reidhead was still recovering from her surgery and wasn't with us for a few days but even though Sister Faimanu is only in her first transfer she was totally willing to split for a bit to do exchanges. She's awesome! I went with Sister Howton in my area, we had a bunch of no answers but met a cool guy names Ray from Fiji. Even though his wife is a member and he had kids that went on missions AND has read the book of mormon he's still not a member. We testified of baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost and eternal families but man is stubborn and just refuses to progress even though he admitted to feeling the spirit multiple times as we were speaking so idk but he was nice though I had my ...
