Week 51

Kia Ora Whanau!  Okay this week was a roller coaster but it was good and we saw the hand of the Lord.  So on Monday, we had to wake up really early in the morning and drive 1.75 hours to Tawa, where Sister Tapumanaia had her self reliance course before she went home. So I spent the day with Sister Bailey, being her companion. It was super fun, but I'll be honest I just had so much stress over the fact that Sister Tapumanaia was going home. It just made me so sad. I hate changes and I hate saying goodbye to people I love.  Anyways, on Tuesday was intake day, so all the new missionaries came to the mission office for orientation  and met their trainers! My trainee is Sister Siale and she is from Tonga. She is so incredible and onto it, I am so blessed to be her companion! I love training, the new missionaries are always so special and throughout the week I have been able to tell that she is exactly the companion that I need at this point on my mission...

Week 42

Kia Ora Whanau  This week on Tuesday we had a million things to do but we couldn't do anything because we were going to Wellington to pick up our new companion Sister Shin, so we called our STls and they came and taught a lesson for us so that we could get a new person to teach! Sister Shin is a beauty, she's from Auckland and is suppose to serve in the Hawaii Temple Visitors center but she's waiting for her visa so for now she is stuck with us in Masterton and with the rain. It literally rained all day everyday this week.  Mostly this week we did heaps of biking and did our best to stay dry. It was a great way to get Sister Shin to really want to go to Hawaii lol. We had a great lesson with James and his mom Lavell. We made a plan of salvation game board and they were both really into it. We emphasized that the only way to go to the Celestial Kingdom is with our families. We were hoping that it would motivate Lavell to come back to church with her son. Then...

Week 30

Kia Ora Whanau  Its officially been a week since I've moved to Oamaru and it's been interesting. Both wards that we cover are basically made up of one giant family so I already know everyone's name (brother and sister Kaufana) lol.  There were ups and downs. Most of the people that we are working with and Tongan and so for alot of the week I had no clue what was going on because I don't speak Tongan but my companions do.  On Tuesday we had a little miracle occur. We were meeting with a part member family and at the end we asked if we could say a prayer. The father, who is normally against the missionaries, went outside and called all the kids in for the prayer. His attitude did a 180 and he was so supportive of everything. It was so cool.  Tuesday evening, we had a failotu (prayer service) for a recent convert who just passed away. We sang hymns and messages were shared. It was really spiritual and a great missionary opportunity because his non m...
