Week 15 - American Samoa - Merry Christmas!


Malo le Soifua!

It pleased me greatly to hear that all of you had the best Christmas of all time... cuz I know that this was the best Christmas I have ever had in my entire life out here in Samoa. We didn't do much besides visit members but it was a glorious day nonetheless. We even had a big mac and fries for dinner which was icing on the cake. This email is gonna be short cuz it's been pretty slow due to the Christmas season but check back next week we will have like 13 baptism dates no doubt. Me and Elder Masuisui are ready to pick it up after the holidays. This has been such a good past few months and I have learned so much and I have never been so happy but I know I could be doing a lot more than I am doing now. good thing its the new year.. I can really recommit myself to this work. This is THE work. I am so blessed to be devoted to it for 2 years. GUYS if you haven't been reading the Book of Mormon I would invite you to do so. In all sincerity of my heart that book is the answer man. I don't just say that cuz I am supposed to. I say that because I have found true peace and direction from that book more than any other book I have read. It is true and it testifies of Jesus Christ and his glorious gospel. Merry Christmas everyone!

Week 5 - American Samoa

Tolofa Lava! O a mai outou? this week has been very interesting for sure! So as I said before Elder Lavaka got a tama'i lima straight to the mata and he was even tafetoto from his eye so we had to take him to the fale ma'i (hospital) last aso gafua(Monday). the foma'i told him that he had to stay inside and away from the sun for a week. so we took to our matua fa'aleagaga(spiritual parents) and he chilled there all week while I proselyted with zone leaders! what an honor let me tell you. I got to drive in the van every day and I pretty much got a tour of the whole island! It was sick. The best part though was that I got to learn so much from so many different missionaries! Because I was with the ZLs we visited like half the missionaries in our zone and I had the chance to proselyte with both ZLs-- Elder Johnson and Elder Tiatia. I learned something very important.. There isn't one right way to do missionary work. Everyone has their own style but there is only o

Salo le Moifua, There is little to update on besides the baptismal service for Lasi was exceptionally amazing. I had the great opportunity to give a spiritual thought as well as confirm him. What a guy he is. We also had a great stake conference where these two 70's came and gave some mean talks. President and sister ho ching came as well. Me and my companion have been working hard together to find new future bishops and relief society presidents and we found a few people but we will see if they are truly prepared. there is still a problem with getting pictures but I will try to get it figured out. I did my laundry in a bucket earlier that was cool. till next week. ----------------------------------- Note--these two pictures were posted on facebook by the mission president's wife, Sister Ho Ching:

Week 38 - Fagamalo, Samoa

Malo le soifua ma se palagi e mama, This week was pretty amazing. me and my companion have been working really hard here in fagamalo and we are definitely being blessed to find those who are ready. The water is being filled up right now for a baptism we are having later at 6 o'clock for our dear friend Sene. Not to be partial or anything but this guy has a special place in my heart for sure. He was just divinely prepared by god to receive the gospel at this time. He is getting baptized on a wednesday because he is getting surgery on his leg on friday and he can't get it wet after that so he really wanted to do it before surgery. He is a 57 year old guy who is like off the wall crazy and has the funniest sense of humor but having done lessons me and my comp have really gotten close to him over these past three weeks. We have two other baptisms this month I will explain later! Jesus is the Christ. Elder Love ------------------------------------------ From Aaron's da
