HEY EVERYONE!!!
This week has
been awesome and super fun!! SO, two out of the four people we were able to baptize and that was a really good week for us!!
So, basically
this week just consisted of preparing our investigators for baptism by
visiting them frequently!!! That was our week plus the two baptisms. But now
for the really cool part of this week!
SO yesterday I
had the opportunity of going out to Motu (Small Islands) Which was way fun!! I
went with Elder Uakona and basically this is how the day went! WE started off
early and got to the dock at about 8:00 and
then we waited for the boat for about an hour! When the boat finally arrived it
was this little wooden dingy! I kid you not!! This boat looked like it was made
of drift wood! haha So we jumped in and started on our 40 minute to an hour boat ride
to the small island of Ofu. Which is beautiful by the way, I have a ton of
cool pictures from it! But the whole time on the little boat the guy who was
driving was wringing out a sponge because there was a hole in the bottom of the
boat! ha-hah The whole time we were sinking on the way out but luckily it was
a small hole so it didn't let in too much water but still! haha it was crazy! So
after the we finally arrived at the little island of Ofu where the church is
literally on the beach! We went in had the baptism. Elder Uakona, finally
after 23 months of serving did his first and final baptism in the ocean! How
cool is that! We got some cool pictures! Then right after the baptism we
went to Sacrament meeting with a massive ward of 15 people.... wait, wait, sorry,
now 17 people! That was awesome! We stayed and they finished
their meeting! Church was only an hour! Right after we had ourselves some Tongan ice cream sandwiches and those are pretty much a loaf of bread hollowed
out and a scoop of ice cream in it! haha They are way good. When I get home we
have to have that!
The whole week
was way good though we retuned form OFu and then finished out our other
wards!!!
SO all in
all good week!
LOVE YOU ALL!
Elder Sheppard!
