Transfer Week and a New Companion

September 30, 2019 

Sorry about last week and not getting an email out. We got invited to a Family Home Evening by a family in the ward at 4:00pm. Turns out we got there at 5:00pm and we waited for them until 6:30pm to get back home. They then fed us and we had FHE and had some activities, we ended up not leaving until 9:00pm and our time was gone! The FHE was nice though they also fed us my best meal on my mission. Glass plates and cups sitting down at a table inside a house that had AC with jollof rice, a big bowl of chicken, french fries, a salad, juice, soda and a water bottle!! It was super nice but I missed getting to email for sure!! 

Anyways, this week was a great week and all went well. It was the last week of the transfer and now I am getting a new companion!! He is someone that came out on mission the same time as me and now we are companions. Even we were in the same district for my first 3 transfers. His name is Elder Manakofua and he is from Tonga. It will be a really good time together and I know we will get along really well!! We are also having some great success in this area so I think that we should have some more baptisms coming in the next 6 weeks!! 

Anyways love you so much and hope you have a great week!!

Questions & Answers: 

Q. What happened with your baptisms and investigators? 

A. We did have our baptisms, but the confirmations will be in a couple weeks. This week is general conference and I am super excited for it!! 

Q. How’s your health? Any stomach issues? 

A. No health issues, I am still being blessed for those things!! 

Q. Any advice for those who are preparing to serve a mission? 

A. As far as advice goes, I would just say to prepare by reading the Book of Mormon every day because that is the basis of everything that you teach. If you do not know the Book of Mormon, you cannot testify powerfully about the truth of the book and the keystone of our religion!
