Hola familia and friends!! No speaky spanish

This week was pretty great! It was sadly my last day week of training and I will miss. 

This week we had combined district meeting which was basically zone meeting haha but we all were surprised when president walked in. No pressure on my companion who is the district leader and had to do part of the training that they had. And guess who is in my district now?! Elder Lauaki my comp from the mtc! Me and him are in like the same shoes. It is great seeing the elders and sisters that you were in the mtc with. 

There is an investigator that lives right by our church that we are teaching and we invited him to be baptized on the 14th of February and he will be preparing for that day. We walk over to the church when we have a lesson because it is a lot easier for the spirit to be there. 

We are also teaching a family who elder Holmstead previously tried to teach but the gma was really rude hah turns out that she is a member. Something softened her heart because she loves us coming by to teach her grandkids. There are 2 kids eligable for baptism Tushaun (14) and Krystasia (10) who are now preparing for baptism for the 7th of february. They love coming to church and have a great time. Krystasia told us that she wants to be a member of the church and is ready for baptism. The mother wants to learn more and so we will be teaching them a lot and preparing them as well. 

It is really funny to see the ice cream truck drive by in mid january haha. We are going golfing today so that should be fun. Yes Golfing in January. One of the other Elders in our ward is actually finishing his mission and so this is his last p day. Its crazy to think that I will be in his shoes one day. I got a long ways but it will go faster than I know.

Here is a pic of me and my Toko (Brother in tongan) Elder Lauaki.
