Sister Hale in Seattle

Mālō e lelei! Fefe hake? Ko hai ho hingoa? 'Oku ikai lea faka-tonga, oku ou ilo pē ko hoku taumu'a   Update for this week: So our goal was to get 3 non-members to church this week, but we ended up getting a bunch on inactive/less active members there, so that was awesome! It's also been raining lately, so that makes me super happy  We went tracting in the rain a couple times this week and it was super fun cuz we had to call the Spanish Elders so they could talk to someone who only spoke Spanish XD I almost started speaking Tongan at him instead of Spanish, but I caught myself lol. And he was actually interested, so that was awesome!! We also both got this prompting to stop by a member that we hadn't been able to get in contact with, so we stopped by and knocked. No answer. Knocked again... and heard footsteps! I was so excited! Then this man answered the door and we were like "Hi how are you?!" And he was like "good.... missionary?" And we were like ...

Update for this week: We met a lady named Elizabeth and set up a zoom appointment to talk about the restoration! Some of our members stood us up  We met a member from Peru who has lived all over the place but is in our ward even though he doesn't speak Tongan because he loves the culture and it reminds him of his own. We were invited to ward council for the first time since I've been here and they had food after  Scripture of the week: 2 Nephi 2:18-20  "I am encompassed about, because of the temptations and the sins which do so easily beset me. And when I desire to rejoice, my heart groaneth because of my sins; nevertheless, I know in whom I have trusted. My God hath been my support; he hath led me through mine afflictions in the wilderness; and he hath preserved me upon the waters of the great deep."

Mālō e lelei everyone, happy Valentine's day! Update for this week: We had so many people cancel on us this week and I just want you all to know that although I was never a fan of the Superbowl, I am now very much NOT a fan of the Superbowl  This week we got to see Angela again, and we got her number! She is seriously SO ELECT   we were texting off and on the last couple of days, and she told us about how what she's been reading in the Book of Mormon has been helping her and it is absolutely the SWEETEST!!! She's going through a hard time right now, so please pray for her!! We also met a lady named Flanna!!! We didn't know her, but called a number we had for her on Thursday and talked with her over the phone. THEN she said we could come back on Friday, so we taught her then and made her a friend   she is super cool too, and said could come back next week :)) She told us she wants her whole family to go to church, but she doesn't like going to their church becaus...

I woke up this morning and thought it was Sunday and I didn't know I even slept. Good thing we're not getting transferred today, or I'd be EXTRA tired probably   Update for this week: Well it has been a busy week and I don't remember most of it   BUT there were so many miracles this week, it was crazy. Like seriously millions I swear. I will just share a couple  Ok biggest miracle probably. We went to stop by an inactive member that we only had a missionary record for, not a church record. Her granddaughter Angela answered the door, and she was super nice! We introduced ourselves and talked for a but and it was super sweet. We asked if we could share a scripture with her before we left and she said YES, so we shared Alma 7:11-12 (seriously one of the best scriptures) and she started CRYING and she was like "you have no idea how much I needed this right now" and she told us a little bit about some of her struggles and thanked us for coming over. So we gave her ...
