Sorry sometimes I just get kinda bored when I e-mail and I cant take it, haha, sorry.
Anywho the week went really well we have seen some great success our investigator Keana passed her interview and she will be getting baptized on Thursday which we’re stoked for.
Bill is doing great as well with him it takes a long time to teach and commit him to do things because he is sooo old so teaching him is like putting the lessons on slow mode, haha, he's doing great though.
Beta and Sita are also doing good. We haven’t seen them in quite a while but we have talked to them several times on the phone. Sita had surgery again in LA this past week but from what we know she is recovering really well and Beta said that she will be up and playing around again in no time at all.
What else happened this week…. The whole time I have been covering the Branch there has been this Part Member family that I have been trying my butt off to get in contact with and we finally did on Saturday which is sooo sweeet and he is as cool as everyone said he was so I’m very excited. I’m going over to his house in a week or so for some curry which I’m really lookin forward to, haah.
Anywhobewhaty

Bula Bula Bula,
The week was awesome......
Keana's baptism was way good everything went good. We received her as a referral from one of our members a bit ago, she was solid and we dunked her very quickly.
We also received another referral this week, one of our member’s mothers. she is 75 and very prepared by the Lord. She doesn't speak English so it was my first whole lesson In Fijian since getting here which felt sooo good. We taught her two lessons this week and invited her to be baptized on Dec. 29 and she accepted so we are pumped around here and feeling super blessed.
And as for the people I mentioned last week, Amini , we have our dinner with him a week from today which will be good, he is way sick and we are hoping to get him to come to church. Also Beta and Sita made it here yesterday for church which was good. Sita looks better and better each time I see her which is sweet. And Bill is also doing well he cancelled the lesson for this week but we talked to him on the phone and he said he threw out his back so we'll have to see him later haha and yes you are correct it will be a long term project with him but eventually he will get baptized.
That’s pretty much it from here. Other cool things this week, there was a huge wedding and our Tongan Stake’s Christmas songfest which went awesome and made me gain like 5 more pounds haha.
Peace and blessings,

Continued thoughts and prayers are with Diana… and with Jeff and the kids. We love you!
