the Last of the Exchanges
This week we finished our zone leader Exchanges! YAY! No more worrying about them!! So we get to spent the entirety of the next 2 weeks as companions... something we normally don't get to do hahaha.
While I was on exchange with Elder Memmott we met this super cool guy named George who was more than happy to talk with us after his long and hot day of roofing (like it was 105 on the ground. I can't imagine what it was on top of a black roof). He told us he had moved in not long ago and was living with his in-laws for work ( he could have found a job closer to home, but he needed specific hours in a specific skill set) so he was living at his in-laws. He also told us he was looking for a church out here (perfect) and when we told him where and when he said " anywhere is better than here with them" hahah I guess he doesn't like his in-laws too much. He sadly did not come to church though. We will have to tract him down again.
We also got to see a guy name Junior in the Tongan ward. Bishop asked us to go by a while ago and we have been trying, but with little success until now. We finally got in with him and just shared a simple video a message about God as our Father. We asked him if has had seen God's power. He said he had from his father giving priesthood blessings. We asked him if he wanted to be able to do that as well, he naturally answered yes. So now we just need him to come ti church enough to exercise the Aaronic Priesthood he has so that he can be advanced. Baby steps, but Junior will take them!
On Saturday we got asked to speak in church ... on Sunday.... so we did... and it actually wnt pretty alright. But then the Gospel Principles teacher no showed so we taught gospel Principles as well... And by taught I mean we did what we could with the time we had to prepare hahah
Well that is about it, unless you want to hear boring tracting stories hahah. Anyway love yall!
Enjoy the summer while you have it! The kids here are already getting ready to go back to school.
Ofa Atu!

Exchange Week!
So we were again on exchanges this week!
I was here for 2 days and the got to go back to Apple Valley! I love it there it is like my second home!
Had a few small miracles this week.
We talked with a Lady who know quite a few members, but it very active at her baptist church. How ever she was very excited to read the Book of Mormon to be able to know and understand more about us. She even said we could come back, not something we usually get.
We were also able to see Terrell this week! FINALLY! And he was able to be ordained a priest on Sunday so that was awesome to see as well!
Met a man yesterday who served with a Ralph from Raymond who played alot of basketball. Didn't narrow it down to much, but still a small connection hahah).
Hope all is well!
Ofa Atu!
