Week 2.1 (it is too much counting so I'm starting over XD)

 Happy New Year!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Update for this week:
I have no idea what I already told y'all,  but I'm training again! My new companion is named Sister Perkins (in Tongan that's Sista Pekini) and she's from Idaho Falls!
Sister Malu went to her OG mission in Zimbabwe, which is CRAZY!

This week has been super busy and awesome :))
We had a goal to make 1 new friend this week (which means we have to teach 1 person twice) and so we did our very best and then ended up calling someone and sharing a message over the phone and that made our new friend! AND THEN we did it AGAIN on Sunday and made ANOTHER new friend! It was super awesome :))

I also painted a BoM this week for a Facebook post... if you wanna see it go check out Followers of Christ in Seattle on Tuesday at 6pm 😏😉

Scripture of the week:
2 Nephi 29:7
"Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?"

I love this scripture because GOD KNOWS US and HE LOVES EACH OF US! It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, He loves you and will guide you.

Funny Quotes:
• "Jesus is the bread of life. The Savior uses the example of bread because we love to eat, and we need to give our focus to the Lord and not food" -a member bearing his testimony during fast Sunday
• "Ikas live in WATER! ... WAIT VAI dang it my english" -me
• "You have a very good accent! Almost like a native! When most people learn Tongan they have an accent..." - Manu
• "It's karma for killing the other spider" -Sister Malu
• "The end. Amen. Hallelujah" -me

Fun Fact:
The word nima in Tongan means 5 but also hand, and the word hiva means 9 but also sing

Happy Easter :)) Update for this week: A lot of fun stuff happened this week! On Wednesday we were at the church waiting for Teresa and her family because we had a lesson set up, but they ended up being late... so one of the counselors in the Bishopric recruited us to talk to the 14-15 yo boys about missionary work   it was awesome, and they had really good questions! Missionary work is a good time :) On Thursday, we took a member of the Samoan ward tracting with us because she's in the MTC! It was super fun, and she gave us a ton of tips for finding Polynesian people  Friday was Zone Conference and it was AMAZING. I learned a lot, especially from the discussion we had about General Conference. I LOVE Elder Uchtdorf's talk, President Nelson's talk, Elder Eyring's talk, and Elder Klebingöt's talk. It was super amazing because it helped me learn how to be a better disciple of Jesus Christ. What's something you all learned from General Conference? I also had to bea...

Finn Hill is awesome and also odd XD Update for this week: Holy cow I LOVE my new companions!!!! They are both so cool and such good missionaries :) Sister Misi is an AMAZING teacher and so good at asking questions and also very artistic. Sister Beckstead is such a good example and is just so sweet and I'm sad she's gonna leave to her original assignment on the 21st because this trio life is just the best ever :( but she will do amazing things in Brazil too! This week we've been SUPER busy, I've been getting to know members and learning names and stuff, and we've had some lessons, tried to find people to teach, and also met a member who has a sword collection, and also antique/replica firearms, and bows and arrows (longbow and a recurve, none of them modern). I held one of his swords  Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 2:28 "And now... I would that ye should look to the great Mediator, and hearken unto his great commandments; and be faithful unto his words, and cho...
