Week 6

Well, this week went by kind of slow! We had a zone conference on Tuesday then the rest of the week we did lots of finding and knocking! this Friday I did get the opportunity to go with my comp to a funeral in one of his old wards. the tongan people are the most loving and caring people in the world I swear!! I love the ward and the people of Australia. yes my mission is full of rejection and appointments falling through, but for some odd reason I love it and I didn't really know why until yesterday when I read a talk that said " forget yourself and go to work" that is why getting rejected is so easy to me because I have lost myself in the work and I know why I am here. I am here to find and help people come unto Christ. I know this church is true with out a doubt in my mind. and I am going to keep working my butt off till I find those that are ready to hear of this great gospel. I love you all!!

8.  What are the rules about driving and why don’t you ride a bike? 

we did ride bikes this week you will see it in the pics!! but we have a limit of K's we can use in the car.
9.  What is a spiritual experience this week?   First, we got a lot of less actives to church!  

This weeks spiritual experience, there is a lady in our ward that we had down as our fufanga on Sunday.  So we called her but she didn't answer. Then sunday morning she texted us to stop by after church and pick up the food, so we did... and when she answered the door we saw that her face was swollen and purple... she had a really bad infection and we had no idea. But she still got her self out of bed and cooked for us, she said she was fine and that she was feeling better. She is so intent on serving us!  (we are blessed)  so we said our Thank you's and goodbyes, but when we were about to pull out I had the prompting to ask her if she needed a blessing? I could just see the joy in her face as I asked, she said she would love it. The spirit was so stong she was crying...

 *never ever let the spirit leave you. always listen to the promptings of the spirit!!!!!!
10.  What are your plans for pday today?
