Sister Vasi & Sister Sughroue

Sister Sughroue &
Sister Vasi

Its been a while without a pday, but no complaints because MY NEW COMPANION IS SISTER VASI!!!!!!! We were MTC companions, and are the best of friends!!!!! Dreams come true. She is from Idaho, but her parents are from Tonga. At transfer conference when they announced it, I screamed! hahah Its suppose to be a quiet thing ooooops. :) The past week has been a blast. I literally have to try to not laugh all the time, because Sister Vasi is hilarious. She is so consecrated and focused on serving the Lord, because of that we have seen so many miracles together already!

We are Zone Leaders over East 1, which is the Beehive house! Soooo we spend alot of our time there, which is probably Karma for me scaring the sisters a few weeks ago hahaha. I love it! The history is so inspiring, and we try to help the guest and sisters feel that! We go through out the different rooms in the home and teach the Gospel, restoration, plan of salvation, doctrine of Christ, etc. We have been so busy with planning trainings for the Sisters, but it is a blast. There is nothing better than serving the Lord with your best friend! Very very busy. Are goal is to unify our zone, have happy successful, hard working sisters! I could go on forever of how great it is, but I'll stop here. hahaha.

Carmen is on date to be baptized, December 5th. Just a few weeks ago her family was falling apart, but since they have started to attend church and let God into their life so much has changed. The gospel has saved their family, and she is so happy to become a member of Christs church!

We gave an amazing tour this week to 3 beautiful brazilian women and 1 man from Iraq.

Reunited! For a brief moment!

It was our first tour together and amazing. They were so interested in our faith, especially the plan of salvation. The spirit was so strong as we testified, of Gods plan for them. At the end, they all left with a Book of Mormon and we exchanged contact info. We called Juliana who went home and already reached out to her LDS friend who got her in contact with the Local missionaries and she is planning to meet with them soon! Soo exciting!

Our Miracle Tour!

Tyler and Makayla came to music and the spoken word, that was cool!

Yesterday we had Mission Leadership Council, Sister Vasi and I were asked to give a training on "Helping others keep Commitments: The Door to Faith and Repentance". We learned so much from preparing for this. Especially that as missionaries and members we can not Act casual about this work!!! I will just let Elder Holland continue to explain, "“The first thing you will do when an investigator tells you he or she had not read and prayed about the Book of Mormon is be devastated! … Much of the time we are just too casual about all of this. This is eternal life. This is the salvation of the children of God. Eternity hangs in the balance. … It is the most important path this investigator will ever walk. But if he or she doesn’t know that, at least you do! … So take control of this situation. Teach with power and authority, and then be devastated if the first steps toward commandment-keeping and covenant-keeping have not been successfully begun”.

This is the Lords most sacred work and we are so privileged to be trusted with this part of his vineyard.
