After our lesson with her on Saturday she asked us when she could get baptized.. Iwas like tomorrow haha Sister Howard and I got free bbq from Brother Ngawaka after so it was a good day! We've also been teaching 3 gorgeous girls adopted from Samoa who just got baptized! We have been going over some lessons

with them and after each lesson they teach us Samoan dancing!! haha Oh my goodness I have so much fun! They are the sweetest family, the mom prepared a feed for us which was so yum! I always feel so bad when I eat at Samoan family's homes cause they always have us eat first and they just watch.. One time I was like you can eat with us haha they are so sweet!! They also always bring over bowls of soapy water to the table for us to wash our hands right there! I love them! They also gave us lava lavas from Samoa! Woohooo I got my first lava lava!! I'm so stoked though cause they're gonna teach me how to pray in Samoan!!!

We also had exchanges this week and the Fijian grandma I taught on my last exchange came back from Fiji and I taught her again! When I saw her she came up to me and gave me a huge kiss on my cheek and the biggest hug! She's proud of me that I can say bula haha but it was so cool to be able to teach her again, she has so much faith and I have learned heaps from her!! I love the people here in New Zealand so much! There was also a really cool Maori man that came into the VC the other day! he walked all the way to Hamilton from Gisbone which is like a 6-7 hour drive! He carries a kohata rangimarie (white

I asked him why he's walking and he said because to many men lack strong hearts and that everyone needs to have a strong heart, he then related it to the scriptures which was cool. I would tell you what he said but I forgot haha but ya he's cool his walk is the strong hearts/ water of life walk. There are such rad people that come into the VC!
