Week 37 - Fagamalo, Samoa

Sole!

sorry i missed last week friends my companion and i put in some extra p-day work and we didn't have time to write emails.. but a lot has been happening in this crazy old island of samoa.. Since the last time i wrote we have found and taught some new people and we have 3 people who are really looking good for baptism in the next month. we are going on a ton of splits with members in the ward to try and find new friends and it really is the grind right now.. i'll tell you guys about my absolutely favorite friend whose name is sene..

this guy is 57 and single and is literally hilarious man he is like the weirdest dude of all time but he is soo awesome.. ever since we started teaching him he has come to his ward on sunday and he goes to the other wards sacrament meeting too. He had the chance to come see the devotional with the prophet and he loved that too. we went and visited him yesterday to teach him about the word of wisdom and he is like, "ou te fia papatiso i le vaiaso nei!" i want to get baptized this week! we were like uccceee calm down we need to make sure you are fully ready to make this commitment and he was like, "ia ok". he is gonna get baptized next week with another old man who is giving up his cigarettes to get baptized.

it's going absolutely amazing tho.. i am so happy on the mission man I don't know what it is but its just amazing. ia, more updates to come I love you all

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
