Malo e lelei 

Kou fie fakamalo atu ki heetau Tamai Hevani i he ngaahi tapauakii kuo Ne tuku kiate au mo ku famili. Pea moe malui mei he kovi i he mamani he taimi ko eni.

He uike kuo oc, na ma takai holo pe ki he kaingalotu.... ka oku ikai iai ha mea mahuinga nae  fakahoko he uike kuo oc.

Nae lava ke mau sio konfelienisi lahi aneafi. Mani nae lava lelei aupito he ngaahi malanga nae lava o fakahoko ai. Oku lahi ku notes ki ai haha. Ka... io ko ia pe.

So this week we just did proseyliting.

Conference was amazing though I loved all the talks. What I got out of conference was to make Christ central in your life and do all that is necessary to do so. Reading scriptures, fulfilling your calling brings blessings and partaking of the sacrament helps us have Christ with us always.

Hope everyone is doing fine. Keep praying for those you love and don't be afraid to lend a helping hand to those who need it even though they might not look like they want it.

My love goes out to all my family and friends who have been blessed with safety from the outside world and the terrible things that have happened.

Aye hows it!

Hope everything is alright back at home...

I am grateful for all the love from you guys and I love you all equally as much.

As far as the mission goes, I have a new companion and I am still here in Eua but all goods cuz its pretty lata (chill, nice) here. I am training someone and he should be coming in tomorrow. Hopefully, the Lord will help guide me as I do my best to set an example for the person I am training!

There is a baptism this week or next..., not ours but someone's in our district. I am glad to see the work is still progressing other places even though it hasn't been as fruitful for us in our area. 

Anyway, that's all the news I have for you all at this time... if you feel like it, inbox me, if not all goods. Just would like to hear from yalls if you can.

I just wanna leave you guys with a quick like thing. One thing I wish I would have done back at home more often and maybe this is just me, but I found solace in reading the general conference talks after conference. In the moment of watching them, you feel such a strong spirit and testimony of truth radiating from the words they say, and I thought why can't I always feel this truth outside of conference time? 

So if you are ever in need of encouragement, feel spiritually hungry, or you feel just kinda like you're existing and not living, read a talk! you know?
