Lo'u Molimau (My Testimony - translation below)

Ou te faafetai mo le taulaga faavavau a Iesu Keriso ma le avanoa e tala'i ai lana talalelei. E leai se galuega sili ona taua nai lo le galuega faafaifeautalai. E amu'ia a'u ona o le avanoa e avea a'u ma se sui o le alii faaola Iesu Keriso. E leai se mea e faatusaina. Ou te aioi atu ia te outou e faitau ma suesue i le tusi a mamona. O le tusi a mamona o se faamaoniga faatalitonuina o le toefuataiga o le talalelei e ala mai le perofeta o iosefa samita. Talitonu i le tusi a mamona. Afai tou te le talitonu i le tusi a mamona, ia Talitonu ia Iesu Keriso. Ae afai tou te talitonu ia iesu keriso o le a tou talitonu fo'i I le Tusi A Mamona ona o le upu i totonu o le tusi a mamona o le afioga a keriso. E moni ma faamoani nei mea. Ou te alofa ia te outou. ia filifili le mea ua tonu. filifili le fiafia.

I am grateful for the eternal sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the opportunity to preach his gospel. There isn't another work more important than missionary work. How lucky I am to have the opportunity to become a representative of the lord and savior Jesus Christ. Nothing compares. I implore all of you to read and study the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is convincing evidence of the restoration of the gospel through the prophet Joseph Smith. Believe in the Book of Mormon. If you don't believe in the Book of Mormon, believe in Christ. if you believe in Christ you will also believe in the book of Mormon because the Book of Mormon are the words of Christ. (2 Nephi 33) These things are true. I love you all. choose the right. choose happiness.

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
