Tongan over the Pulpit

:)
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 when she was 8, she ran into them on their bikes. When she was talking, the spirit was like "let her know Heavenly Father loves her" so I did. And as I was talking, I told her that there was a reason missionaries have always been in her path and blah blah blah, and Sister P. and her daughter started to cry. 
Man the spirit is cool. Now they are going to feed us dinner and I am excited because we already had a dinner.. 2 DINNERS!
WHEN MY MOM SENDS CHERYL'S COOKIES AND LIFE IS SOOO GOOD
Also, we gave a man named R. a Restoration pamphlet in the car, and he gave us his number. Teaching people at red lights part 2.
OkAY!!
So now Sunday, or yesterday, was super cool. 
Divine Heritage came for a fireside, they are a poly singing group from Salt Lake City, and they came to our ward for church, and they sang and it was beautiful.
Also Sister Ganus and I shared our testimonies in Tongan so that was super cool. Like ,I spoke Tongan, to a Tongan congregation, plus a Tongan singing group. Idk, life is cool.
Well that is all.
Have a fun week friends!

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....

Me and a pumpkin  So wow , it was a lot of lasts this week.Had my last zone conference , It was interesting , Elder Schetselaar almost passed out at the pulpit. I gave my testimony at zone conference because I am going home,  I held myself together,  accidentally put my hand in Elder Schetselaars sweat at the pulpit too. Then we closed zone conference with "I'll go where you want me to go" and I straight lost it, I just sobbed, I couldn't even get words out. I looked at President and he just gave me a smile and a wink. How dare he send me away :(  Then we got flu shots !! FREE flu shots, I love free things.  Then we had MLC, my last MOW. Last time seeing some of my friends until I go home #wrecked  It was cool because my entire mission , if someone has shared a scripture around me , I mark it , and we spent the first like 10 minutes of MLC sharing different scripture verses from the Book of Mormon !  We went in a corn maze/ ...
