Hey Everyone!!
This week was really good!
So to start off: Yes, the baptism was lava! And it was awesome! We actually ended up baptizing 2 people instead of one! How sweet is that! There were 2 kids. One of them was 12 and one of them was 10! It was amazing! You know one thing I have learned from Tonga is the ability to have the worlds fastest baptisms! No joke, we finished the baptisms in 30 mins on the dot. That's how long the baptisms always are even for little kids who just turned 8 because the other half of the baptism is eating.... Nice right! I LOVE IT!
This week went really well we had about 10 lessons and about 3 quarters of them were with members and the other quarter were without!! So the lessons are picking up, especially this week! Because this last Saturday we contacted 5 investigators and they all said ok and we will be teaching them all this week! My new companion is pretty cool. He's serving only 15 mins from where he grew up and so his family and friends come to visit him all the time. He is definitely falling into the flow of missionary work and catching the wave! So, hopefully I will have him in full gear by the time he leaves. Other than that BIG NEWS!!! I was able to see Priesthood session live! and it was incredible!!
And that was my week!!

My son has arrived!
Well everyone,
I'm doing awesome!!
After 3 weeks of waiting multiple boat and plane cancellations... way too long, comp exchanges! My son has arrived.... yes, everyone he is here!!! Elder V has arrived and he is being trained!!!! Wooooooo!! Only funny part is that there is only 3 weeks left in this transfer so we will see what happens! Hopefully, I'll get to do the full 12 week program with him here!!
I'm super excited for the work!! It has really picked up here since I started again Wednesday! So, I began on that day with no new investigators or referrals! Since then we've had 4 referrals, 2 new
investigators and one of them is going to be baptized this Saturday. a 12 year old kid named Villiami! I'm super stoked because I did all the teaching for him by myself!! So, this is truly my first investigator baptized and I'm super super excited!!! It's going to be awesome!!
You know one thing that's kind of weird is the fact that now I'm teaching a new missionary. It's very humbling because, well, I don't feel adequate enough to teach the new guy, especially when he grew up only 15 minutes from his area and he speaks fluently obviously!!! So, it's areally interesting experience!
Other than that, the work has finally restarted here so the emails will be much longer and better during the next couple weeks!! I'm really excited to share with everyone these new experiences!!
