Week 2.4 soon-to-be baptism!!!

I have been practicing Tongan XD here is a word for you to learn:

"vakai" (pronounced exactly how it's spelled "vah-kai") = behold

Update for this week:
One of our friends' families gave us beef stew yesterday, with rice! It was super nice :)) and we also may have gotten horse from someone else... it wasn't bad πŸ˜‚ we aren't sure whether they were joking about it being horse tho sooooo πŸ€·‍♀️πŸ˜‚

Kaydence is getting baptized this Saturday!!!!! We are SO excited πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
There was also a baptism last Saturday, for a member in the ward! Their daughter turned 8 :) there were A LOT of people, it was kinda crazy! And they asked us to fill the font for them so we had to go a couple hours early and figure it out πŸ˜‚

This week we also were going through our records and found A TON of random people with phone numbers or partial addresses and stuff like that, and we're working on contacting them all πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ it's kinda a party, because half the time their numbers don't work haha

Scripture of the week:
2 NΔ«faΓ­ 1:15 (the Tongan version)
"Kae vakai, kuo huhu'i 'e he 'Eikí 'a hoku laumālié mei heli; kuó u mamata ki hono nāunaú, pea 'oku takatakai'i au 'o ta'engata 'e he ongo to'ukupu 'o 'ene 'ofÑ"

Funny Quotes:
• "If any COVID germs come your way, tell them NO" "Sounds good, and if they don't listen then that's harrassment and we can file a lawsuit" -Sister Bradshaw and me
• "The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and dial again. Or dial 6 blah blah for customer service" "the story of my liiiifffffeeeee .... or dial 6 blahblahblah bluuh" -Sister Perkins

Fun Fact:
APPARENTLY (I just found this out) SEATTLE WASHINGTON, like downtown Seattle, is a NEW SEATTLE??? Cuz the old Seattle got hit by a tsunami or something? Idk you can look it up, I can't πŸ˜‚ but one of our friends told us about how her uncle took her to like the underground "old" Seattle or something πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ kinda wild!

A bag of crackers that you soak in hot chocolate and then cover in butter.... I did 1 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Possibly horse? mixed with veggies and a side of taro root XD

A funny road name

a new favorite Tongan word XD

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 KlebingΓΆt'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...
