week 91

Bula,

It sounds like all is well back home!

Superbowl Sunday!

Uhh mother, the Terrys went to Suva and they have my package so I will get

it this week and release date is still unknown! Haha...Well we had a busy

week this week. Sorry this will probably be a little shorter email. Yeah we

had 3 meetings this week...two in Labasa and one in Taveuni. So we were only

in the area for 2 days. The meetings were really good. President really

enjoyed our training on "How to set inspired goals". Others gave us some

positive feedback as well. We went to Taveuni and had a good meeting. The

two new missionaries are Elder Eli from Hawaii and Elder Schofield from PG

is the one elder is the picture with the family. They are good kids. Elder

Schofield, Elder Mayberry and I met a drunk guy on the street. Haha we oym'd

him. He told us all he loved us and gave us new names. He said mine was

David. He told us he loved us a ton of times and then said he hated white

people and that if we did it like in  America he was shoot us,. Hahaha it

was pretty entertaining. He told us he loved us after that. Our water was

out for a couple days so we had to shower at our branch presidents house.

They have a really good shower!  We also met this family from California on

the boat to Taveuni. Supposedly they are moving to Fiji for good, they are

big surfers...ha we were talking to the kids just about where they are from

and what not and their father comes up and says hey kids your mother wants

you to come sit back here so these guys dont mess with your heads! Im

serious! Lets go! Haha we just sat there and was like uhh ok, vinaka man! So

yeah it was fun though! President is doing good. He was happy with our

training though...So it was good. Well the two days in our area were

awesome! We got 3 new investigators and planning on 3 more this next week.

We also had 3 at sacrament which is the most since I have been here. A lot

of them want to be baptized so we are way excited! They just came out of

nowhere this week. The Lord blessed us very much! We have been dying to find

some new investigators! We also will have the next 2 weeks in the area

without going anywhere so we are stoked to work! So we are planning for a

few baptisms in March. This week is the Muirs last week. We had a big party

for them after church on Sunday, so much food! It was sweet! We had the

whole zone write them thank you letters and what not and gave it to them.

They are awesome! They are from Lehi and are here in Savusavu.  I'll send a

pic of them so you know who they are but you guys might get a call from her

sometime. She wanted to know your number. So you know who she is...She is

not the one who bakes all the cakes, that is Sister Terry. Muir is so bomb

though! She cleaned our house in Seaqaqa once, she made a delicious red

velvet cake even though she'll say it looked like a disaster. Haha. Elder

Muir served here in Fiji like 50 years ago...he is awesome too. He knows a

lot about the culture and history of Fiji.Its awesome! So yeah all is well!

We are stoked! Ill let you know more about the investigators next week.

Sorry its shorter this week! We were busy with all the traveling. but

nothing too exciting. It's been raining today so not the best day. Oh I

forgot to tell you this though. We went and toured a resort this

morning...Jean Michel Cousteau or something like that. The wife of the

manager is a member (less active) so we went to meet the family.  How would

it be to say I grew up on a resort in Fiji?? Ha not bad! Anyways, say hi to

everyone! Especially Grandma! Hope all goes well! Ill be praying for her!

Work is awesome! Mission is awesome! Love you guys!

Elder Hansen
