            Sad day in Elder Fyffe town, I’m being transferred... I don’t really want to leave the sector. It seems that right when all of the work that we’ve been doing is starting to pay off, the Lord wants me to go start working somewhere else. But I know there is a reason why I will be sent over there. I know it’s because someone needs me. It’s just hard because a little part of me needs these people too. Sometimes I wonder if I love these people too much. I asked this question recently to a member in a past ward. Because the new missionaries in the ward are having a little trouble. I asked the member if maybe I was a little too close to the investigators, because at times I wonder if the investigators were too attached to me. The reply that he gave me helped me out a lot, he said, “I don’t think God could ever be too close to someone, or love someone too much." As his representative I should and I am loving these people with all that I have. All missionaries have a different way of working, for some people it is difficult to express charity or love. Even though they have those feelings inside. For me it has never been difficult to show my love. It just makes me too happy to see others happy. The Lord is sending me to a new sector to love his children. I hope that he will continue to use me in order to show his love to his children.

            Anyway, this past weekend we had 2 baptisms! Maeva and Heitiare, Maeva is like an Aunt Rebecca kinda figure, and Heitiare is more like Aunt Raja, I love those two so much! Their baptisms were really powerful, when they both came out of the water they were bawling. The spirit did his work and made a lot of others cry too. We even had an investigator say that she witnessed a true baptism. The baptism that Christ exemplified. The Lord really helped these two sisters change their lives. They both found the truth, and said that the baptism was better than they had ever imagined. The whole ward was there for both of the baptisms, and we all enjoyed accepting these two into our ward family. Then at church we had our class with our investigators and they promised us that they would be baptized in July. Stinkin sweet!  Writing emails is getting difficult for me. My joys keep growing while my vocabulary to express my joy keeps getting smaller haha. I never really know what to say. Just know that Life is treating me better than ever. Don’t be surprised if I miss my flight back haha.....joshn... I love you all, have a great week!
