week 86

Mi'au ba bula re! How's it? Sounds like all is well back home.  Well we

were only in our area  for 2 days this week. We were in Labasa and Suva the

rest of the  time. It was good though. It's been busy! We had our Zone

Leaders  Council and we had waffles for breakfast!! The first time I have

had  waffles! Soo good!! We had a good meeting, it was much better than

last months. A lot better discussion and ideas. President is good, he is

happy with our goals and the things we are doing here in the  North Zone. I

didn't get shirts, I just got some more garments and  a new study journal.

Next time I go I will get some. Yeah so we  planned out the month of

January. We will only be in the area for  about 15 days or so.  We go to

Suva twice, transfers, we go to Rabi, and  Taveuni next week...ha it's going

to be busy! Anyways, Suva was  good, we came  back with so many things! We

were lucky to get it  all on the plane! 32 Books of Mormon, packages, more

mail, Ensigns, things for the Terry's and whatever else. We came back from

Suva  and the Terry's picked us up. We worked with the District Leader in

Labasa and did exchanges that night. Saturday morning, the Terry's took  us

back to Savusavu so we had like 4 lessons for the week.  We are busy

getting ready for our Zone Training meeting tomorrow, getting our training

finalized about finding and getting goals and  numbers and what not. It's

been really busy. I have finally finished one personal journal! ha I feel

ashamed!! It look me so long to do  it! I looked back at the first part of

my mission and I didn't write a  lot! Now I write a lot more, but yeah I

wish I had the desire back  then like I do now! I also finished The Book of

Mormon today...I love it! Its awesome! One thing I really noticed today was

the word "Exhort". It  is used 9 times in chapter 10...What does it mean?

Why would Moroni  use that word for what he is saying? He shows us his

feelings about  the message he writes. He knows it's true and will bless

us...It puts  more emphasis on it or more meaning, it's awesome! Yesterday

we got a list of all the people in the branch who needs  ordinations and

what not...So we are going to work with our Branch  President and work with

home teaching to visit all these people and  help them come back/receive

these very very important things! Haha it was hilarious! So our branch

president doesn't know anything about computers...NOTHING!! We were showing

him Google maps on the MLS thing  and where the chapel was and all and man

he was absolutely amazed! It  was the funniest thing ever!  You had to be

there! So yeah! Oh, yeah your questions about the sandals...don't worry

about it! :) Yes  both of them are gone, but the ones I am wearing are fine.

We wear  flip flops a lot too so when I get home, I will most likely wear

flip  flop or go bare foot honestly! Haha eh pops???...In Labasa they had

these sweet jerseys I bought. One is a Fiji one, and then one is a  Pacific

one. It has parts of the rugby jerseys of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa,  and New

Zealand ha its sweet! Cheap too! So yeah all is well! We should have a good

week this week hopefully, the APs will be coming for exchanges.  Everyone is

still gone on holidays so that still puts  a damper on things...OYM! Well,

take it easy! Have a good week!! Love you guys!!
