Sister Sughroue : Week #16 - October 15th, 2017

I LOVE Coconuts!

KIA ORA!!

So this week is transfers week! Wooohooo!!! SisterTtauhiro is going home to Tahiti and I'll be getting a new comp! So this week we had a fun family home evening with the Popole family who are less active, they are so awesome! We played some basketball with them so that was fun! And afterward we left their house, theIr next door neighbors, who are members, the E'e's, invited us over for a feed hahaha I have never eaten so much before in my life. Samoans eat a lot!!!!! they are the best! This week we started teaching two new people, one is Johfry from Columbia, he's 18 and speaks only some English so it's more like playing charades. haha I wish I

took Spanish in high school. Then we are teaching a single mom, Lini who is Tongan and has two cute little kids! Friday night the Tyrell family from Samoa, who was in my last area, came to the VC and we just watched movies with the youngest while the rest of the family did baptisms! They are the greatest family!! I love them heaps! Then on Saturday Evanne got baptized!! She is Arleigh's sister who is 14 and right after her baptism everyone could tell she had a whole new countenance about her. I am so happy for her! Arleigh really wants to be baptized and asked me how to pay tithing. She is so incredible!! She is living the gospel and I just love them soooo much they are truly family to me and it breaks my heart that she can't be baptized yet and her partner is holding her back. Hopefully, they will get married or he will move out. But they are seriously like sisters to me, and Arleigh's kids are so adorable! Anyways after the Baptism we had another feed because the E'e's youngest daughter got baptized and that was like a wedding. haha Samoans have HUGE families. haha And then on Sunday they had us over for lunch and we had another feed and gave us lavalavas.. So many blessings and so much food this week!! I LOVE YOU ALL HEAPS!! Look for the best in everyone and pray for the spiritual sensitivity to notice the opportunities you have to share this beautiful gospel!
