yo famili,
it is still a good time here, Tonga is so fun. i dont want to mislead you to think its always good. sometimes it sucks. very blessed this week to be able to listen to the Prophet and Apostles of Jesus speak. also very blessed every day. this week we walked around everday from appoinment to appointment, everything cancels so that blows. its so hot and humid.
elder van beuren and elder save showed up on friday from houma for general conference, they were going to leave today but their boat doesnt come till tomorrow so theyre coming to pday with us. its nice being 4 elders. they went around with us on friday and saturday and sunday. earlier in the week we were walking home from a canceled teaching and this weslyan fam we are trying to teach picked us up gave us a ride, and also a watermelon, 2 pineapples and a ton of bananas. love those guys theyre way cool. walked too much that day, taught nobody, it was wet and rainy and i got some bad blisters. we stopped by palisiteni pongis gas station because van beuren heard they had mnt dew. they gave us mnt dew, doritos, and mnms. blessed. american stuff is so good.
on saturday we went to conference at our stake center watched a session, went and ate at pisope langaois and then came back for the next session. lots of the other elders and sisters watch at our stake center too its nice getting to see people. the saturday sessions were beast. we went to some teachings that didnt work out. but after that we went home. made a couple gallons of otai out of the watermelon and pineapples. otai is wayy good, drank a ton with the boys, gave some to our neighbors, played cards, twas a good night.
sunday conference was great. many great talks. love to hear the Apostles. after the first session went to a eating. watched the next session and hung out with the other missionaries until they all left. went from there to fafanga at palisiteni manufetoas. we ate and then we talked to them about conference. sunday was the second time ive heard a prophet seer and revelator speak about the importance of the name of the church. The Church of Jesus Christ is the Church of Jesus Christ. the name is a testament of where it came from and who established it. I was sharing to them that this is His church, and we are the people of Jesus Christ. they are a big family and while i did they were all paying attention and understanding my Tongan and my heart just burned with pride in God and Jesus. There are many things I felt during conference but mostly i felt the truth. Pres Nelson is a prophet of God. The Church of Jesus Christ is Jesus's restored church on the earth today.
shoutout to my boys and my sister for getting it done at region xc so proud yall are beast.
ight bouta go kill a dog and take it to pday for lunch in vaipua. i wish i was joking but im not. ok ofa lahi atu kimoutolu, bye
