Lako Tiko Mai Na Veisau - 5 Aug 2018

Good Afternoon!

It has been a fun week.  We've been getting into a lot of things.  Constantly moving.  

I have witnessed some things this week that have changed me. I am getting better at seeing people through the eyes of the Lord.  Fiji has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life that I couldn't have learned any other way than through missionary work. 

Transfers are tomorrow and I have already been told that I will be leaving the Naulu area.  It's been tough saying bye to a lot of these families.  I know for sure I will be coming back to visit.  As I shared my testimony yesterday it was gratifying looking out to the audience and seeing all the less actives and recent converts we've been working with sitting among the congregation.  The work has been great in Naulu and I am happy to be able to leave this area feeling like I really gave it my best. 

We baptized Christine this weekend.  She has been having a lot of trouble at home and it was difficult to see her, but this week was a blessing as everything went so smooth.

As for now I am just helping my companion familiarize himself with all the people (investigators) and families before I head out.  

P.S. We hit our goal of 5 baptisms this transfer!

Have a great week!
