A MASSIVE BOAT

Monday- In order for us to get to our games this week we had to ride our bikes to the furthest chapel in the zone, Lincoln Park Ave. So we went for it. Wasn't too bad, I was really glad that my bike didn't break on me! We were getting really inpatient because we waited at our flat for an hour to know whether or not we were going to play. We kept hitting all the red lights. We played a game called Turbo! A mix of Rugby and Football with Rugby rules but aren't allowed to run forward after two touches turnover. The Best Game! After games we had to ride our bikes back.....IT POURED ON US. Elder Thorpe and I rode back with Elders Taimani and Taua going down massive hills almost getting pushed off the road by car....wooo was that a rush! Luckily we didn't get sick:)

Tuesday- District Meetingl:) After we tried to get in contact with out investigators--didn't happen...so we spent a lot of time trying to get members to come out with us. We asked Sean Papali'i (Bishop's son) to come with us and he said he would!

Relieving some stress

Wednesday- The Bishop's son came with us for a couple of hours and we visited a lot of investigators and less-active/part member families. We had so much fun with him. We really want the members to understand what we as missionaries do everyday! The day seemed to fly even though my head was pounding (headaches). We ate dinner with Bishop's family and played the silent game...hahaha it was insane what we tried to do to get each other to laugh....nothing worked but still super fun to try!

Thursday- Bishop last night asked us to use a paper he gave us full of people we needed to visit so we did. And was it a busy day! I got the finger from an old man driving past us...haha we both laughed and just kept going!

Friday- We had a miracle today, we have two people who committed to baptism, so happy for these people to change their life! Mel and Diamond Toloa!!! They are so ready!!!

Farewell to Pres. & Sis. Lekias

 Saturday- we got our hair cut and spent some time with Faleti and tried our best to stay busy...but didn't really work out that well. We were really exhausted so we went and visited one of our members. The Millers where we were told that our diets weren't good..one of the members was a nutritionist... and told us to eat more fruit so we ate some and we had a huge energy boost...they must have put something in that orange because I was so hyper after that!

Sunday- Just a normal Sunday, we had Mel come to church. SHE LOVED IT!! Stayed for the whole three hour block! All the members thought she was a member also....she has changed everything to change herself....she stopped drinking and smoking all because she was going to church....what else is she going to give up?? We visited with our Ward Mission Leader, his home teaching family and then also met with Faleti and Nicki!

It was a BUSY week and much went on. Two months away from a year??? Where did the time go???? I love this work and I don't want it to be over:(  Love you all and have a great week:)

Admiring the BOAT!!!!
