A Challenge!

So hmmm yes performed the ice challenge alongside Elder Christensen and Elder Tatafu :) On missionary from each district. My Recent Convert was like nope "Elder Christensen youre doing it" and so we done it!

WE loved it and poor Elder Tatafu was shivering the whole time afterwards. This week first off i was not allowed to go to the Pacific Island Conference held in auckland but president then said i could go and i was like yaaaay! I get to be an islander tomorrow :) My companion then got annoyed and said "you know you dont want to be an islander but you are" and im like "im Maori, its different..." and shes llike nope. That day i was so grateful to be able to go and really see where my people come from. Us as islanders come from great people and do you know where our lineage come from. All the way back through to Jerusalem! Our forefathers were great people. Lehi and how he was so obedient and now we have the fulness of the gospel because he showed great faith! 

I cannot believe i have been out for 5months. I cannot believe i have been so priveledged to work around such great elders and missionaries. The work was hard this week and I was super lost honestly. It was hard! Its so hard to get people to progress but we have one family that is progressing and she cried when we popped over because she feels so loved. The only time she ever felt loved was from her mom and her mom is now passed away and so she cant believe how blessed she is. I dont think i will be here for her baptism as i think her baptism will be next transfer and we only have 6weeks in a transfer and we are in the 3rd week already! But ohmygoodness we are going to be throwing a LUAU!!!!!! Pig roast on that front table... YAY!!!!! Its all up to the missionaries but even that is next transfer and i have a feeling that i will be leaving next transfer! :( All is well, all is well.

IM STILL SAME OLD SAME OLD! :) People think im losing weight but i think im gaining!!!!! Sad life of a missionary... WEIGHT GAIN!

Love from me from down in the hood of South Auckland... Dodgy thats for sure!!!!!
