March 5, 2017: MARCH ALREADY!

Another week gone by,

The weeks are still going really fast but we are getting things done.  The two girls M and A's baptisms were pushed back this past week because we need them to come to church for three weeks and this past Sunday we had our Stake Conference all the way up in Hamilton and they didn't get a ride.  It's a week away so that is coming up soon.  We are going to have to baptize them in a river.  We had a new part member family move into our branch boundary and they are scheduled to be taught this coming Saturday.  We also started our missionary month for our youth.  An entire month for the youth to learn the lessons that we teach.  No phones for a week.  Listen to only church songs and some other things.  We also went up to our Stake Conference and they told us that we really need to do better on missionary work.  Last year there were only 16 baptisms.  We were told that we need to 2x it or more and I hope to contribute to it.  On a side note with no gym and heaps of Tongan families feeding us I am starting to hate eating.  I love the Tongan families so much but sometimes not their expectations.  All they say is "Eat!  Your jaws not moving, Eat!"  It's so funny!

But all is well.  I feel like a missionary!  Busy!  Busy!  Same thing as last week so all is good!  Love yous.  Talk to yas soon!  Ofa Atu!

Just some photos:

Met another Elder from Hawai'i

Nice swimming and jumping spots that the youth go to

Elder Osborn opened his own for the first time.  It was so funny! 

Got to have some coconut water and meat! So good!
