Hi Family,
Some interesting things that happened: Do you remember
the service project last week where we cleaned up the road in Nuku’alofa for
the king’s mother’s funeral? Well, it inspired me. On Thursday, there was a Wesleyan
funeral in one of our little towns so I went and got two other elders to help
us. We started on one end of town and picked up all the trash on both sides of
the road. It took us about an hour and a half. We also cleaned up around the cemetery
and found a widow who was trying to prepare her yard for the funeral, so we
helped her out as well. Along the way, a bishop from another ward saw us and
began helping and so did a couple of other guys. The town of Afa looks really
nice now. Everyone is super friendly here.
So, on Thursday we met the family we just
baptized, just to keep teaching them all the things they need to know to
progress. We talked about the organization of the church, so they understood
what prophets, apostles, seventies, and bishops are. Stuff like that. I really
love their family; they are super nice.
Today
for P-day, we lifted weights, did laundry and drove around running errands for
some other elders. Right now the kingdom of Tonga is Tapu for ten days because
the queen died. Not sure I spelled that correctly. This means that that it is
like a special day; you’re not allowed to work, or be very loud- kind of like a
Sunday for ten days. So no volleyball.
It’s
difficult finding people to teach in Niutoua. After I baptized that big family
it's pretty much been dead, everyone feels like they have done their part and
we can relax for a while... so I guess I’m back to knocking on doors. The week just
flies by. Transfers are on March 19th. I think I will move because I have been
here forever, but I don’t know. Well, that's about it. I love you guys and
hope you have a good week.
