Python



Isa lei!!!

It was another fantastic week in Navua. A lot of stress, but also a lot of success. My companion Elder Nabaruru is the man. He has been such a good friend to me and has even taught me to speak a little bit of the Kiribati language. His teaching is very interesting. Instead of first teaching me basic conversation words, he has taught me how to say things such as "your breath stinks" and "go take a shower"... hahahaha

But yes, we were able to help Elanoa and Seru into the waters of baptism yesterday. It was so fun to see them make this important step in their life. Seru seemed pretty nervous, but they both ended up good in the end. I love teaching people and helping people. Elanoa especially has naught me a lot. Hope I stay in contact with her after the mish.

We also found a big snake

We were doing some work on Barney's property and Elder Nabaruru and I started burning all of the weeds. We then realized that we should have burned it after because we were coughing on smoke the whole time.

We bought ice cream and ate it with Elanoa to celebrate the papitaiso.

We met 2 Jehova's Witnesses white couple who are her on their mission type thingy. They were friendly

Best breakfast- Weet Bix
Best Lunch- Chow
Best dinner- Fish

Vinaka the birthday wishes.

Till next time,

We lost..................

Bul@

To start of with the bad news.... Fiji lost to South Africa in the finals at the Wellington 7s.... But other than that, this week was reallly good. 

This week, I stayed in Lami for a bit doing some baptismal interviews. Man, I was able to interview this sweet woman and it was just really special. It's so awesome to see the people that have been prepared by the Lord to enter into the waters of baptism. She was baptized last Saturday and the Lami Elders told me that it was just a really sweet day.

There were lots and lots of fall throughs... Just how it goes out here. We were invited to eat lunch in Deuba at this ladies 90th birthday party. Man the food was so good. We also met some girl that stays in Tacirua. She served her mission in Canada. She has been staying in the US for a bit and she has a funny accent. She was way fun to talk to. Sister Fisher...

But mostly, we are still working with Josavini, Koto, and Seru.... They are all good, but most of them just need to come to church. We told Koto that we'd pick her up for church, but when I went to her house and the kids opened up the door I could see that she was hiding under her blanket so I just dipped hahah.

But things are really good out here. Today I read the story about Ammon and his beautiful sword skills. He is a great example of a servant of the Lord.

Anywho, Love you all..

Also, US politics has even got Fijians raving. Most Fijians don't like him but some do. I heard that he took down all the gay rights stuff off the website and that he called Hillary a nasty woman.
