My new DISTRICT

First as week as DL....
This past week so awesome! I learned more this week than any other, SO FAR!

Monday- We didn't have P-day games this week because the other district was using the chapel....so we cleaned the flat and did a workout ....and took a nap. We didn't have our bags because we left them in Elder Kilpatrick's car....so we carried Book of Mormons around while riding bikes. That was interesting in itself. We knocked doors of potential investigators from the sisters who were in the area before us.

Tuesday- Can't remember anything unusual or special happening, so nothing to report.

Wednesday-  We met one of the many "dry" mormons in our area. Haha He told us " I want to hear something new....really? Do you? We are still trying to figure out what to teach him to switch his thinking around....we also met a boy named Kumora. Just like Hill Cumorah..haha Planning on visiting him this week some time. We planned a lesson with an investigator named Vaiala (who we later in the week set for baptism!!!) it fell through...but we still ended up teaching a lesson to the family:)

Thursday- Zone Meeting. The Doctrine of Christ (My personal fave subject) Listened to Elder Holland's talk from Conference Oct. 2012, The First and Great Commandment "Do you love me?" The spirit was so strong! I love this topic. Drop your nets and move on...forget yourself and work. We all as a zone were spiritually uplifted from the message and implemented in our work this week:) We also had Missionary Council meeting with the ward Mission Leader..just letting him know about all the investigators we have and what they need the most to help them out. I met some of Dad's friends from Samoa: Brother Pogai, and also Fiti Taua, Ula Papali'i and Savea Harrington. All on the same day! All telling me about my dad's awesome basketball skills. That me doesn't have anymore;) hahaha

Friday- I had the chance to go on a trade-off with Elder Huffman one of the Zone Leaders. Had a blast with him talking to people that didn't want to talk to us..(persistence) what an awesome tool to use. Also makes the day funnier. "NO I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOU" they would often say. Why not? "BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING". We had a man walking away from us, naming off all the beliefs in New Zealand except LDS. He went on to say, "I've been to Temple Square and I DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF IT!"  He just laughed and laughed and laughed. Also talked to a crazy Jehovah's Witness lady...yeah I'll just leave it at that. hahaha

Saturday- We did have a Ward Trade off (Ward Rescue) to visit all the less active members and non- members (our investigators). It went great and we did a lot of good today. After the meeting we had another meeting til about seven....with no food in our stomach we finished the night off and headed back to the flat we were hungry, so we called a member and they brought McDonalds....Thank you!

Sunday- Church :) We bore our testimonies today me, Elder Calizo and Sister Camiletti! We all did amazing with the testimonies:) I was exhausted today and I about fell asleep in Priesthood....We had our feed with the Gatoloai Family! Amazing food then we met with our investigator, Vaiala answering his questions about the difference in church standards. Why so many Rules? Why is it water and no wine? Is the Book of Mormon and the Bible the same? The spirit was so strong and I had the Baptismal Invitation in the back of my head. The spirit was telling me to invite him so I did, and he said YES!!!!! HECK YEAH!!! His baptism date is for the 19th of this Month!!! Woo Hoo Miracles!:) Love the work and time is flying faster and faster!:( Almost sad actually.....:( But making the most of the time while I can!

Love you all and have a great week:)
