Conference Week End

Less lame this week... at least that is the goal.

So we made it through transfers, no natural disasters or freak storms to make life hard. Counting our blessings. Then just the regular nitty gritty after all the transfer business. Found one new investigator. His name is Angel, he seems interested in the church and semi-interested in joining the church. We will work on that. He was supposed to come to conference, but bailed last second to help a friend with some handyman work or something. Some friend keeping him from salvation.

Got to visit and teach couple of less active in the Tongan ward, but not Sena and Sekona sadly. :( 

We are still working on them though! 

On Saturday in between the afternoon and Priesthood sessions of general conference a family took is out to eat and as we are leaving a we talk to a lady handing out mobile pet grooming service cards. We stopped and talked with her for a little bit. She asked what we were doing and the regular questions regarding our youthful looks and strange uniforms. We gave her the low down and started talking about Christ, when she interrupts and tells us about how she has the gift of healing and she is a healer , but hasn't used her gift in a while. We talked with her a little about faith and the power of faith, I don't know if we corrected her view, but she accepted what we were saying. The topic of faith of course lead to a conversation on faith verses works. Surprisingly Denise (thats her name) was on our side that it takes both, not one or the other. I shared the story of the rich young ruler with her and how it takes faith to keep the commandments, but also the action of following Christ. We testified of modern prophets and she said she would come to conference, but again she no showed :(

General Conference was HAMAZING! I love the testimonies and words of wisdom for our Leaders. They are so truly inspired! " We thank Thee oh God for a prophet!" Heed their words. They are just good ideas, catchy phrase the kids say these day or even just good advice for moral living. They are speaking commandments from God!!!

Ofa Atu!

OH!! And just because I think it is awesome, the final hymn of the Saturday morning session is actually a Tongan hymn. They like to sing it a little faster and with much more gusto and a little less peace hahah. Ka Kaingata'a Ho Hala Feinga is the name.

This is our whiteboard, what is on it changes, but it is awesome! #WhiteboardAllTheWalls #GoForItKids #OkButNotOnTheCouch!
