Monday was an awesome
day where we were on fire; we taught a bunch of people and gave out some goals
for people to be baptized and we also were just having a lot of fun and doing a
lot fun, good work.
Tuesday, correspondingly,
sucked. We struggled to find work and everything fell through.
Wednesday we went to
the island with some of our district leaders for a companion exchange. I went
to my lovely home in Nuapapu. That was decent, there really wasn't any work to
be done there, but it was chill hanging out on a tropical paradise. The
important part was I tried to find someone to teach, even through there was no
one.
Thursday we came back
and had some fun on the boat. I'm getting pretty good at driving it. I saw whales;
man those things are huge!!!! We saw four sperm whales chilling and playing
around. We got maybe 30 meters away then they ran. But man, they are huge
animals. We had this huge workday set up, like five lessons. Not a single one
was able and I was super frustrated.
Then Friday, we wanted
to go to the islands again for another companion exchange, but it didn't work
out because the entire island of Vava'u is out of gas. We have a quarter tank
left in our car, so I'm pretty scared. I don't know what to do when we run out
of gas and don't have any more for the rest of the week. Hopefully nothing bad
happens. So anyway, Friday we just went and chilled at the governor's house all
day. It was pouring rain and we literally couldn't think of anything else to
do. I learned how to get land out here in Tonga though, so I feel good about
living here.
Saturday there were a
lot of baptisms for other missionaries. None for us but we got to do the ordinances
for the sisters. It was really special and spiritual and I loved it.
Sunday I had just an
amazing day and we taught some really great lessons. Man, taking the sacrament
is the best part of my week. It just doesn't get better than that.
