Monday- For P-day we did a quick shopping trip and then headed up to Massey Chapel (the chapel furthest away from us...) It took a while and we ended up playing basketball, volleyball, and touch rugby! We had an appointment with Mel but we didn't have another male so we began to frantically look for someone to come with us to the lesson. We found Fetai, who is preparing for his mission. We were teaching the Law of Chastity...really awkward for Fetai. After the lesson Mel brought up a question but didn't want to ask it with her son around. We told her we'd discuss it another time when her son wasn't around. I'm really beginning to feel like she may be ready, hopefully she'll commit soon.
Tuesday- Was so busy. We started with a lot of contacting less-active/unknown members many of them were gone, many did not answer their doors, and others weren't home. A funny experience was when we walked up to another less-actives house and we could hear the sound of "JESUS LOVES ME" by Beyoncé, ha ha ha too funny! Elder Lolohea's chain broke going up a hill...so we had to cancel our meeting with Ward Mission Leader. We had the great idea to use some sugar cane we had received earlier in the day as a baton for me to pull Elder Lolohea around town with a chain-less bike. ha ha soo funny! Luckily he didn't crash!!
Wednesday- We had specialized training today with President and Sister Balli. He is so good! He talked a lot about the difference between obedience and disobedience, and he simply said that if your heart is into being obedient you are being Exactly Obedient! We visited Selepa (Investigator), then we had some visits, met with our Mission Leader about getting families to open up their homes to us to have Family Home Evening with them.
Thursday- Checked up on some less-actives and ended up getting lunch from one our less active families. The rest of the day was trying to get in touch with part-members and more less-actives. We also had an appointment with Mel, we had intended to teach the Plan of Salvation..we opened with a song, but the lesson ended up being a talk about what she felt about what she was learning (testimony basically). We headed to Bishop's house to talk to Bishop but he wasn't there so we shared a bible video with one of the Bishop's sons.
Friday- Today was kind of a struggle for me. Just one of those times I guess on the mission when you have to work through it. We had to cross the street to get to our appointment, but my bike chain locked up and my hand reached for the brake and sure enough I pulled it too hard and I flew off my bike and opened up the same cut in my hand....out of frustration I threw my bike. We found a bench and sat down to cool off and talk. I told Elder Lolohea how I felt. We talked for a while and then got back on the bikes and headed to our appoinment. Frustrating day but I know it'll get better
Saturday- Quiet day, time to visit and just kind of reflect on the week.
Sunday- Had a "Come and See" fireside, we took Diamond and he loved it! Church always helps to raise my spirits, love feeling recharged for the week.
Not a very eventful week, but I hope the next week will bring some new and exciting things:) LOVE YOU ALL and thanks again for your love and support!!!
As we emulate His perfect example our hands can become His hands, our eyes His eyes and our heart His heart. - President Uchtdorf
