This week was actually pretty dang
eventful! I enjoyed every day because I’m just so dang happy to be out here on
my mission. Last night we had our second concert for all of the stakes; it went
pretty well I thought, they say we keep getting better and better! The only
thing was that we didn’t have any air conditioning, the dang thing was broken.
So we were all sweating up a storm. There was a part during the concert when I felt
the spirit really strong. The sisters were singing "love one
another," and I looked out into the crowd and I saw one of my old
companions who had finished his mission a few months ago. I hadn’t seen him
since he finished, and It brought back a flood of good memories, and I was just
extremely grateful that The Lord gave me a good friend like him. Missions are
great for that reason, you find true friends.
After we finished the concert, we
started to drive home; it was already pretty late so we were in a hurry. Elder
Faatau the driver was driving when all of a sudden he pulled into a house to
visit someone. He got out of the car and started to visit with the person when
I asked his companion what was going on because we were kinda in a hurry. He
told me that it’s a family friend where the father died this past week, so we
decided to let him take his time. He then called us over and asked if we could
give a blessing to the mother and daughter. I gave the blessing for the daughter
and Elder Faatau for the mother. The spirit was really strong during the
blessings, and we both felt prompted to testify of the plan of salvation and
use that as a base for the blessings. After the blessings the mother told us
that The Lord had answered her prayers. Earlier that day after church, she had
come home and knelt in prayer, asking her Heavenly Father to send her some
angels because she needed help. The Lord sent her 4 missionaries and she was
surprised how fast he answered her prayers. I was really happy to be a part of
her answer.
Those simple experiences are always
the most powerful for me. The simple proof that our Heavenly Father loves us
and answers our prayers! I miss my sister a lot, and there are times when I
feel like she’s the only one who could calm my stress at times, just by talking
or listening to music with me. Thank goodness that she will always be my
sister, because I will always be her loving brother! I can’t wait for the day
when we can go do a few temple sessions together!
I have learned that I can show how
happy this gospel has made me, and I hope that others notice the light that
shines from within me. Humans are naturally curious, so I know that the best
way we can preach this gospel is by our actions. People will see, eventually. I
love my life, I love my mission and I love the hope it gives me to always keep
moving forward! Thank you all for your prayers. I pray for you all! I love you
Teesha!

As for the Pictures, there’s another
baptism we had, his name is Potini. We’ve only been teaching him for three
weeks, yet he was prepared by the Lord and was baptized last Saturday! The
other is of an activity we went to, I love you
all!
