The area is doing alright. We have several investigators we are teaching. I enjoy the work here though. The ward is great.

So as a DL I have to teach district meeting every tuesday which is about 1hr and 30min. Planning the lessons can be a bit frustrating though. Then I also get to do baptismal interviews for those in my district. This last sunday I had 3 interviews. Its great being able to talk to those that are getting ready for baptism. I also have to cloect all of the reports for those in my district.

So its a little town in the middle of a ton of rice fields. We do have some little stores though. No mcdonalds anymore though haha. I still have someone who does my laundry for me. And the apartment is alright. We have giant spiders though like the size of my hand.

1. What has been your biggest challenge this week? Um teaching district meeting was pretty stressful but it ended up being great.
2. What has been your biggest concern? Being able to work both areas. We have delfin albano and tumauini ward 2. So just being able to find time to work in both and deciding who we should visit.

3. What has been your biggest success? We are working well with the bishopric and being able to find all the Recent converts for last year to teach and prepare for the temple and working on a list of less active families to focus on.

4. Who has been your favorite person this week? Why? Ako haha syemps! That means "Me of course". Because I can do hard things.

5. What has been your most significant tender mercy? On the way home from the baptismal interviews we took a bus (45 min ride). An older lady got on and had no where to sit so I gave her my sit and stood in the isle. She thanked me when she got off the bus.

6. What are you looking forward to this coming week? Zone meeting on tuesday because I dont have to teach haha

7. Do you have a goal set for this coming week? Tell me about it. Well I need to start making Br pages. Its like a little scrapbook page. Lots of elders and sisters have asked for one and I need to start making them.

8. Which scripture has had the biggest impact on you this week? Alma 48:17 Shared this with a family at our dinner appointment. I remembered Bishop Nevitts lesson at a ym stake activity where he talked about returning to the basics.

I will leave it up to you guys about the vacation. If you want to come here to the promised land thats great if not its up to you.

Love you guys!
