Carrying the whole picture with the "The" Heeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllooooooooo, This week was crazy, so much happened, which made the week zoom. We got super cool new investigators... Tongan investigators! Everyone keeps saying they didn't even know if Tongan investigators existed, so I am pumped. Lets started with O! O. was a referral from someone who may or may not be a member? Anyway, we went to O's pretending we were tracting, and we met him and his daughter F., lil cutie. O. told us how he really wanted to read the Book of Mormon and never had gotten one. And how every Sunday he listens to a broadcast in Tongan from the church and he loves everything they share.  On Saturday, we dropped a note off to him, and he called us saying he wanted us to meet his wife! What the! We have a lesson with his fam tomorrow and I am PUMPED. cute zone pic #LightTheWorld idk if I talked about A. last week, but we started teaching him and his brother D. ...

Be Thou Grateful Fam!

When its November and 70 degrees out and you can make fresh orange juice! Heyyyyyyyyy, beauty school dropout Weeks keeping faster and faster, and its kind of gross. Transfers were this week, and it is so strange for everything else to change, and us to stay the same.  I like it though. Tonga is super fun still, I love every second of it. OH! Remember M.from last week? So she is a little crazy right? We had a lesson with her on Wednesday, and a guy named 'A came because big Tongan guy, but he stayed for like .5 seconds and then left :(  But she said she wanted to be baptized so that was cool. But then yesterday we texted her seeing if we she coming to church, and she fled the country and told us she would let us know when she comes back, so... :) We found a gold mine of Tongans, I will keep you all posted on that one.  It was a very busy week, but I have no idea what to update on. we had a flat tire, so we went to pep boys to get it fixe...

Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo, This week was very .. . We got puli tahas! aka tongan attire  So first we had interviews with president, which was cool. President Dixon, he is kind of a funny guy, which makes it fun to talk to him. But nothing too exciting happened there. Transfers are Wednesday, and Sister Ganus and I are staying together another transfer. Wow. Same companion AND area for more than 1 transfer? I will let you know how that goes. I told President I wouldn't know what it was like to have something constant for 2 transfers, and he apologized and said when he put me in Rialto 1st he was expecting me to be there a while, but Tonga needed me. He also told me that Bishop B. (of Rialto 1st) told him if he could ever get me back to Rialto 1st he needs to do it. So President ALSO told me he can see me going back there towards the end of my mission. I would be so excited. What else happened this week? OH!I got the flu! so that sucked....

:) Hello Hello Hello!!! Hope everyone had a fun Halloween! The Palmetto ward did a trunk-or-treat and it was really fun, all the Tongans kept asking if we got enough candy, while handing us handfulls. My life is so good. OH! Cool story, so we are teaching this white family from the Oleader area (because they don't like elders hehe), they are the P. Me and my future They have been meeting with missionaries for I think around 10 years. Why aren't they baptized? Well conclusion, missionaries just kept going for the social aspect. Missionaries.... When we first met with them, we asked if they ever read the Book of Mormon, they told us no. So we invited them to read the introduction and pray to know if it was true. When we went back, Sister P and her daughter explained that they know it's true, they are just being stubborn... excuse me. Sister P. told us before that missionaries ALWAYS came by at the times she needed. She first ran into them w...
