I Got Hit By A Car... (Not Click Bait)

I know this is late, but happy 4th of July everyone! Yuhh! I did not get an email out last week, things were crazy! But I needed to say that, I flipping love America, back to back world war Champs let's go! 

Anyways, here the news:

Last P day, we got the chance to go to the temple! Hooray! My comp and I decided that we wanted to leave extra early so we can go and do baptisms. While on the way there, traffic was heavy. Anyhow, we got reer ended on the freeway. The car in front of us slammed on there brakes late and we could not see in front of them, so we slammed on our brakes, and the car behind us did not, therefore, we got smacked in the tush. Hype! I've never been reer ended before, this was so much fun haha. We good though, no bruises, just a few dings and dents and scratches on our car. You should have seen the other guy though lol. We pulled off of the free way, got his info, and said a prayer with him, he was a dawg. We gonna laugh about this in heaven for real no cap. 

Me and my comp had a crazy 4th of July. All we did all day I swear was eat food, it was nuts. We ended the day horribly though. We pulled over for a lesson, when we got back to the car, we started driving, and we got two flat tires. Three holes in each tire. We had to call some elders to barrow a spare tire and we threw two on our car, that was so much fun. Crazy experience. We had to change our tires in the ghetto, so many homeless people and random people just staring at us while we changed the tires, good times. 

Speaking of eating lots of food, this cut has not been going well. In fact, while cutting (trying to lose lbs), I gained 7 lbs this week. The members will not stop feeding us, when we think we are safe, they force more food down our throats. Pray for me fr haha, I want a wife one day. 

The WORK:
The work has been going so good! We have been seeing miracles. The work has been slow, but this week it sped up, we started teaching 3 people this week. FYI, that never happens. We also had a friend come to church, that is also very rare in Tongan work right now. Serious miracles are happening. 

Things have been rough, lots of doors slamming on our face, and just simply not opening. But after a whole week of rejection, God blessed us will all of that in one weekend. We endured, and he made sure those blessing were secured. I know that as we endure trials, God will bless us with more abundance that we can even image. I have seen that to be evident on my mission, in my life, and in the lives of those I have taught.

I love you all, thanks for reading this far, please reach out if I can pray for anything,  have a great week!

Shellom y'all, This has propbably been the most busy and chaiotic week of my mission yet. Between training a new elder, managing 20+ people being taught, 40+ potentials who could be taught, two wards I'm brand new to, high maintainance barely active members, and much more, I have been swamped with things to do. It has been insane! My very first day of the transfer in the Ashton park ward, a person they were teaching called and says she wants to be baptized! LETS GO THAT IS HYPE...however, this has caused so many problems. She has lots of questions and does not want to follow the commandments in the word of wisdom so we cant really baptized her yet. Since then, she has been looking into much anti about our church and wont stop sending it to us. It has been crazy!  Something funny, we went to a mental hospital to visit an inactive member. It was his birthday. He is also skitzafrenic or however you spell it. He asked how our sunday was, we told him that we had 6 hours of church be...

Go Chiefs!!!!

Well....This was a good week! The chiefs won the super bowl! I was super sad that I could not watch the game, but I am so happy either way. Everyone around me is 49ers fans so I'm the only one happy in my area. This week was not just happy feeling though, it was full of all sorts of feelings. I had to say good bye to all of my District and friends in the MTC. Super sad to say good bye but in the end, we are all where we are supposed to be.  When I arrived in Sacramento California, I was immedietly greated by my mission president and the zone leaders! They are all super awesome and Sacramento is amazing. But I do not get to experience it. I currently am typing in a cabbin. Me and my companion, Elder Bartholomew who is awesome!, got thrown into a area where they have not had missionaries in years! Its called George Town and its way up in the mountains. The members here are so excited that we are here and I have not had to worry about making dinner a single night. I live in the middle...
