Malo lava!!

So many great things to say so little time haha!!! These 2 weeks have been great!
Charles was baptized and the family getting stronger and so blessed because of it!! I was so happy for him and his family the Spirit was so strong! it is an amazing the thing to enter the gate towards our Heavenly Father through baptism!!
My soa Sister Fe'a and I were used to help with another emergency transfer last wednesday. Sister Fe'a is now in Savaii and I am still in Malie with a new companion Sister Tuua! She is amazing and I already love her so much! We are working up some great things here in Malie!! oh and I also am the senior companion! haha its been fun!!! My Samoan is definitely improving!!
Our wonderful friend Richard also accepted the invitation to be baptized Nov. 17!! Yeah! and we have a family of three that we are teaching and the love the gospel so much and want to be baptized as well! The father is more busy so we are just waiting to catch him up! The make banana chips everyday for a living! and we help Vaileta pack them almost everyday after our lesson! haha I love this family so much!! there daughter Meia is 10! Potea's baptism and marriage is this Saturday! Yay! everyone is so excited for him! and in a year they will go to the temple!
Also... two days in a row we found and killed two samoan centipedes poisonous things!! ahhh for the first one the Holy Ghost woke me up at 3 in the morning with the feeling that I had to barf but I didnt I just needed to find that centipede in the shower and kill it!! haha
I know this is the Lord's work and He is definitely my strength!! As I rely on the Savior everyday he makes weak things become strong! I know this is so true and I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost that can make up for what I lack and be the real teacher!!

I found one of my all time fav quotes!!!
 "If you are on the right path it will always be uphill." -Henry B Eyring 
I love this sooo much!! we should be continually progressing and striving everyday to be more like our Savior! Our whole life should be uphill if we want to be on the right path!!

And we are whitewashing this area haha learning together! so far it has been a lot of fun and crazy! We are still trying to figure everything! They are in need of a lot of love and care haha we got this! I feel the people we will find and bring them the gospel to there remeberance!! haha I don't have a lot of time for this email, but yes it was crazy and fun being transferred! And now we live in a missionary home on the church grounds! This home is great with a fabulous indoors shower haha!! 

I will miss all the wonderful people I met in Falealili, but I know they will be in good hands!! And I will continue to pray for them!! awweee 

Malie is on the same side as Apia on the island of Upolu! It's different then the backside with more traffic, some people can actually speak english etc. haha Okay I love you all have a great week! I love this gospel so much! and I know that Heavenly Father wants to speak to each and everyone of you! Just get on your knees and have a conversation with Him!! It feels amazing! I love my Heavenly Father!! YAY!

Lelei tele le galuega!

Malo lava! 

This week was crazy! Super long, but then also went by super fast! haha It was great!

The Puega's are getting sealed in the Temple the end of this month!! They are doing good and so strong! The husband testimony and love for the scriptures and pray has grown so much. They are my favorite! I am beyond excited for them and hopefully we will get permission to attend and then I'll cry of joy! 

My soa and I are working hard meeting new people everyday, trying our best to work through all the challenges, and being bold and brave. We also found two more families in the same situation as the Puega's except for these dad's don't want to stop smoking and drinking. We have been able to talk to the wife's and they are so sensitive and in need of so much love and comfort. They both want to be sealed to their families so badly. We have set up days to talk with the husbands and try our best to help them feel the Spirit and God's love for them! Fingers crossed that it can go as well as the Puega's haha staying hopeful!!  

We keep close contact with all the bishop in our four wards haha and have introduced the idea of a fireside where the members can invite friends to come! So we got that in the works. super excited!

Also, as with some of our friends right now we are running into a lot of barriers like the parents of these 3 children ages 20, 12, 10 who absolutely love the Book of Mormon and pray everyday and are such great listeners with the sweetest testimonies, but there parents are strong in their other church and yeah haha! And some others friends who knows what we are teaching them is true,but are busy in their other church, etc. haha it's fun! We are staying positive though and just loving them all as much as we can! Praying for those miracles! And even through the challenges I can still clearly see the Lord's hand in everything! He knows all and sees the whole picture!! Trust in Him taimi uma! 

Also, this sweet, amazing girl Orianne! who has so much faith and strength for 13 year old girl! don't have time to share the story, but she shared the scripture Doctrine and Covenants 88:124 with us! and I just want to share it with us guys! It is so powerful and something we should all try to live by! 

Love you all,
