Week 59 - Lefagaoali'i

the work out here in savaii north is awesome! i have the amazing privilege and opportunity to serve on the northern part of savaii. me and my companion watch seven areas: moesavili, saipipi, puapua, samalaeulu, fagamalo, safotu, and me and my comp proselyte in lefagaoalii. i absolutely love it out here and we have absolutely incredible elders and sisters in our zone.

Right now in our area in lefagaoalii, we have a ward and a branch. the branch president just got released last week and so now we don't have a leader there right now. the stake presidency is watching that branch and me and my companion are praying hard that they can find a replacement as soon as possible so that we can get the work rolling over there. we have a lot of ideas to put on some missionary-run activities, we just really want support of the branch so that we can coordinate effectively. it is a very slow branch but there are a ton of less actives up there that we are going to really spend our time with. we are excited.

The ward is doing great. we just had an amazing ward council where we set up a plan for visiting less actives. we are looking forward to putting it into action. our work is tough out here because a lot of people are not allowed to change churches and most people are either scared of the chiefs, the pastor, or the village. it is pretty sad. but we know that the field is white, whether those harvested are less active or nonmember.

my new companion is dope! elder palepoi was in my mtc intake and now being with him is such a blessing. things are great right now. humility makes everything easy. it really does.

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

Week 42 - Fagamalo, Samoa

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
