Monday- Well no sports today so that meant....trying to finding something to do, didn't work out so well because we ended up sleeping for a couple hours, Boring!!!! But we spent the night contacting some less-actives, Kakuna was his name he's 16 and hasn't been to church for a about six months. So we took the liberty of trying to get him to come back (without forcing) Said he wanted to but not to sure how serious he is about that.

Tuesday- Well today was spent visiting some more people on an "unknown" list giving to us by Bishop. In the process we were able to pick up a new investigator named Thomas, a Fijian man who has a brother-in-law that's a member. He seemed interested so we asked if we could come back to visit some time he said yes but in the process asked for some pamphlets..I was hoping to have a Restoration booklet but all we had was Gospel of Jesus Christ and Plan of Salvation. He took them and said thanks. We had lunch with Nicki and Faleti (part-member family), we ate these massive meat pies plus some sweet rolls!I didn't want to get back on my bike, I felt like I was going to fall asleep..oops! A lot of our other visits fell through...pretty frustrating. We didn't have our Missionary Meeting so we had to make a side plan for the evening..and well it didn't go as well as we planned. We visited Jade and Daniel- a recently baptized family who has been struggling to come back to church but told us to come back tomorrow. We visited with the Ieremia family..I felt the prompting to go there and well it was one we needed to follow because Sister Ieremia was having a hard time trying to deal with her ailing father. We bore testimony about how families are forever...great visit.

Wednesday- The morning started out with a visit to Rosanna a Filipino woman who invited us to lunch on Friday..sweet free lunch!! We then continued to go to see a handicapped woman who hasn't been able to come back to church for quite some time. She can't really walk so we usually have to stand by her door to have her say whether or not we can talk to her, we waited for about ten mintues..then out of nowhere this lady comes to the door and asks, "what's going on?!" We said we are waiting to be invited in.....she then said You two look like a bunch of Burglars! Elder Lolohea looked at me and I look at him and shrugged our shoulders, then she says "come back another day." Had lunch with Alex Aiono (also a less-active), he said his son hasn't been baptized but he has to get authorization from the Boss...His wife who isn't a member. But I guess we will have to patient.

Thursday- We had trade-off after our zone training meeting. The meeting went great...and guess who was there? Elder Uta'i the long lost but not so far cousin. Wow has he changed...for the better of course:) We had scheduled an appointment to go see Lorenzo one of Dad's old friends from Samoa but that fell through. I had trade off with Elder Hall the one from my first Area...so good to see him again ! We worked the same as any other day. But seemed to be a lot more doors being slammed in our faces...which just made us laugh. We had an appointment tonight with Mel and Diamond two of our most prepared investigators:) We taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ and she loved it! She is wanting to stop smoking and told her this is the way to quit. We also gave her a blessing for comfort and counsel on recieving help from Heavenly Father:)

Friday- Today was probably one the longest days of the week just because it was a rainy and cold ..not many people were out to talk to:/ We were able to meet with Trisha McCallister (less-active family also) We talked for a while and let her basically vent to us about Rugby player husband.

Saturday- It was basically the same as Friday..it was a warmer day and no clouds but  no one was out to talk to....so peaceful. We had dinner with Leato's and Salanoa's, it was a blast!:)

Sunday- I really needed today, Church seemed to make everything better:) Thank goodness:) After Church we got a ride from Leatos again:) The Best Family:) After Dinner we had trade off with Ward Mission Leader and Fetai Sekona who is preparing for his mission. Had a fun time with Reece teaching, he is the best!

ALOFA ATU MO OUTOU UMA, manuia le vaiaso :)
