Woah another week gone by. This last week was very amazing. We helped a couple other elders in the next area over (Wainuiomata) to do a missionary fireside. We all put on Rugby jerseys and did skits about honesty and integrity for the youth! That was awesome, Then we bore our testimonies and sang "How can I be" with one of the awesome members playing guitar for us elders. After all the fun and joking with the skits, the spirit came strong to the youth and their parents, some were crying while we were singing the song. That ward has a big struggle with the youth falling away and into peer pressure, so hopefully we helped a little while also having fun and keeping the spirit there. Our baptism cancelled, but she is still coming to church, and still has a strong testimony. We are also still meeting with her and visiting her to support her and help her experience all the blessings of the gospel. Other than that I am just enjoying the work and being able to interact and talk with so many different kinds of people everyday. Well love you all and have a great week! Ofa Atu! time for some ping pong and b ball at the chapel!
