Hello
everybody! Whoo has it been a busy week! For real! We moved from East Campus to
West Campus this week on Tuesday! It was such a long day and then every
day this week I have had choir practice for the
broadcast
tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are
leaving for Salt I am so
excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Kiribati sister in my district had a tooth ache and went to the dentist to
get it checked on Wednesday and then ended up getting her wisdom
tooth out! We all felt so bad for her because the medication that was
prescribed to her was making her sick since she isn't used to it! She got 2
blessings and we all prayed for her. Miraculously she is okay! After just 2
days her swelling was gone and she was able to laugh and talk normally! The
church is true! Also another exciting thing happened! WE GOT OUR FLIGHT PLANS!
I have included a picture I took of them! And my whole district with our flight
plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to the Philippines in 9
days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This week has been
successful with our investigators! The language study has been paying off and
most of our sentences actually make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My companion and I
are so proud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We
have been working hard memorizing and conjugating verbs and sentence structure.
It has been hard! My brain hurts so much at the end of every day! I love it
tho! I have to keep my email pretty short this week sorry! We have to go have
lunch and then we have to get on the bus going to Salt Lake City! For the
Relief Society broadcast!
This week was one of
the busiest weeks to date but it was also one of the best! I have learned so
much this week! Last night at the end of class our teacher turned the last hour
into a massive TRC (training resource ... center I think?) It is a specific
time where members come and volunteer themselves at the MTC and we (the
missionaries) go and teach them ... whatever we feel they need. So we each went
around the room twice asking her one question each. It was then our
responsibility to find a scripture that we thought would help her the best
based on what she had told us. Well I felt like I needed to take my time
finding her scripture so I skipped my turn and waited for the right time. I
went searching through the Book of Mormon and the Doctrine and Covenants and
these are the two scriptures that I found. D&C 98:1-3 It says "Verily
I say unto you my friends, fear not, let your hearts be comforted; yea, rejoice
evermore, and in everything give thanks; 2) Waiting patiently on the Lord, for
your prayers have entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabbath, and are
recorded with this seal and testament-- the Lord hath sworn and decreed that
they shall be granted. 3) Therefore, he giveth his promise unto you, with
an immutable covenant that they shall be fulfilled; and all things wherewith
you have been afflicted shall work together for you good, and to my name's
glory, saith the Lord." And 2 Nephi 32:3 "Angels speak by the power of
the Holy ghost; wherefore, they speak the words of Christ. Wherefore, I said
unto you, feast upon the words of Christ; for behold the words of Christ will
tell you all thing what ye should do."
Ahh brothers and
sisters these scriptures truly pierced my heart when I read them and shared
them with my teachers. With those 4 versus I was able to calm my troubled
teachers heart. She was honest with her burdens and afflictions and because of
that the Lord was honest in His council. She told us that she was feeling over
whelmed. She wasn't doing as well as she wanted to and she didn't feel like she
was fulfilling her church calling the way the He would have her. To these
things I told her that the Lord doesn't not ask us to be perfect, He only asks
us to be WORTHY. I love this Gospel brothers and sisters! And I am so sorry
that this email is so short!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
don't have a lot of time today because of the tight schedule but I promise I
will make up for it with next weeks email!
I love you! And I am
always thinking of
you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love always!
Sister Fonua!
