this week has been cool. monday was another boring p-day. we spent it saying
good bye to people for elder hardy. tuesday was transfers and i saw james'
wifes' brother there. hes in the zone that i just left. so i barely missed
serving next to him. hes a cool guy though. we had fun with elder vaiaoga and
latu (the missionary he's training) so that was fun. After we went to BJs :D
with a member in our ward that works around the mission office. i got like 3
pizookies and we shared them. :P i love elder taetakua. hes a good missionary
and a humble big tongan boy from hawaii. haha. weve been having a blast
together. wednesday we had our lesson with the family that hardy and i found
tracting. it went really well. we taught about the restoration of the gospel
through jospeh smith and her kids were really interested and
comitted to read and pray about the book of mormon. she had her sisters kids sit
in as awell, and said shed ask if they can learn. so that was awesome. so thats
a mom and 5 kids with a lot of potential. thursday nothing really, friday we had
our zone meeting for our zone. elder taetakua was a little nervous, but he did
really well. during zone meeting we just make announcements from zone leader
council and relay them from president back to all of our missionaries. we also
trained on planning and using the area book. it went well. some of the
missionaries looked less then enthused but the missionaries that we see working
really hard in their areas were the ones taking notes, engaging in the
conversations. so it was good. then we took a missionary and his comp to lunch
and i bought him lunch for his birthday. saturday we went to 2 baptisms. 1 for
the spanish elders in the zone and another at night for the sisters in our
district. its always a good saturday going to baptisms. so that was nice. sunday
was great too. elder taetakua got to meet a bunch of the members and classes
went well. scott (our recent convert) taught the gospel principles class, he was
nervous too, but still did well. we had dinner with my favorite family in the
ward. the wards. haha. and i got to see a missionary that was with me in the MTC
whos a zone leader in the zone next to ours. after we headed home and called the
mission president's secretary and got things figured out for the fireside that
elder taetakua and I are in charge of next sunday. its called the "why i
believe" fireside that the mission puts together once a month. scott is going to
be speaking so were really excited about that. :D well, thats our week. today
were playing rugby with a bunch of the elders in the mission, i found a rugby
pitch in a park in our zone, so it should be fun. im excited.
ive heard of that place here in vegas. or at least i think they are. so
thats cool. im glad Nan's found a job that shes liked. i miss santa
cruz. its so friggin dry here its not even funny. i want the ocean. haha. but
thats fun. i wish i could go. but ill get over it. -__- haha.
i dont know where Karifi lives but ill give him a call and drop some stuff off
for you guys. so yah. did you send another mrs. fields package? btw. if you did,
dont put elder ryan anymore. you have to put elder nonu because theres 3 ryans
in the mission, one of which was my companion when i got the first one and they
had to call us to figure it out. so yah. just for convenience.
thats
awesome about keana though. im glad that she made that decision. she can turn in
her papers the month i get home. haha. so ill get back and then shell be gone.
thats cool. haha. did she get my letter? hope so.
anyways. all is well in vegas. btw, if you call the mission home and ask to
take us to dinner you might be able to. ;D haha. just saying.
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!!
