Not the same scenery as Vava'u

Hey Everyone!!

I have been moved back to the main Island and I'm serving right next to town!! So, it's not much of a change when it comes to scenery (haha) other than the fact that there are no more hills and Tonga is not nearly as beautiful as Vava'u! but that's alright!

This week was awesome! I have a new companion and his name is Elder Kapeli and he's massive!  But he is a huge teddy bear. He actually finishes in one month on December 3rd! So I will be what the mission calls as Na'e tamate'i ia which means killing him! It's been way fun to work with him and even with only a month left hes a wicked hard worker which has been awesome! He is from Lematu'a in Vava'u and that is only about 10 minutes from where I used to work in Vava'u!

My new area was reopened with us and we opened with 2 baptisms! There were two 17 year old friends who have been waiting for the missionaries to return and we taught them every lesson in about 3 days and baptized them that Saturday because they had been going to church so that was awesome! I would send you guys pictures of it but unfortunately due to some bad happenstance my camera was stolen! That's alright though! I have sent a ton of pictures home! Enough to not be to frustrated! But, the new area is awesome.  It's really funny to walk outside because on the left side of us is Wesleyan church and on the right side is The Church of Tonga. Our little house is right in between them! It's super funny to see them every morning when we begin our work!

Other than that we have a ton of work going on here Bishop Niu is awesome and is always involved in whoever we are teaching at that moment! All the members around want to have us over every night to teach and to drink otai with them.  Otai is a chunky drink made of whatever fruit they feel like making it with that day. So far the best one I have had is Pineapple! Oooooohhhhh, it's amazing!!

Got to go back to work!

OFA LAHIT ATU!

Elder Sepeti!
