Sister Sughroue : Week #8 - August 20th, 2017

Sister Tauhiro my fav tahitian <3

Kia Ora!

Happy early birthday to the hottest babe around and best sister in the world! Everyone give LIndsey some love haha) This week was so good! The hike we went on last Monday was so gorgeous!! IT was so nice to leave the VC and my area cause I feel like I'm in a bubble, but this hike was sick! I'm for sure coming back to New Zealand so I can actually see this beautiful island!! So this week we had zone conference! There's a couple of Palangis and the rest are Poly! I love them so much. They are the happiest most loving people. During conference President Cummings talked about the Holy Ghost and we watched a clip from Elder Bednar. He talked about how promptings from the Holy Ghost aren't always easy to recognize all the time, because God TRUSTS us in our decisions. I think it's so important to TRUST Him but to always remember that He wants to trust you. You can build that trust by doing the little things, the SIMPLE little things.

Anyways this week I was able to meet some cool people. A Maori man came into the VC wanting holy water. We told him we didn't have any but he kept asking so I just went to the back and got him a cup of water. haha He then sprinkled the water on his two little sons. He told us his devotion to his sons and how he wants them to be safe and watched over. He talked about his strong connection to the sea and that he wanted to bless his kids in the sea but he felt like coming to the Temple for some reason as they were passing it. Sister Howard and I prayed with his family and talked about the Maori - Church History and gave him a Book of Mormon. He was so

BEAUTIFUL HIKE

grateful and told us he's been looking for something to read to his sons at night. It's so true that Heavenly Father sends prepared people to missionaries, especially at the VC.

This week we were also able to get 3 new investigtors and had 6 of our investigators at church! Ocean is 18 and is getting baptized this Saturday! I'm so happy for her!! She's been meeting with the missionaries for over a year and is finally getting baptized!! Lots of good things are happening here in New Zealand! The assistants also brought us chocolate one night cause they made Sister Howard cry. hahaha And at zone conference a couple of elders did a

Chayce (our kiwi homie!)
and sister howard!

haka for an elder who leaves this transfer, it was so cool! They told me they'll do one for me sometime! And I also now have a Tongan sister. Her name is Tui and she has the cutest 2 year old daughter, Elaine. She was at the VC all week and taught me heaps of Tongan!

I LOVE YOU ALL HEAPS! Remember to always look for the good in everything and everyone and to have a desire to learn from the scriptures!

arohanui, xo
