E-mail (Dated: 7/13/2014)

So many great things happened for me and my companion this week!!!!! As we planned for the week, we decided to focus on some families that we didn't know to too well. So one of the families was the Molisi Family!!!!

We were able to go to there house this week. We showed up and they were roasting a couple pigs. We asked what the occasion was for and they responded that they were having a family come from New Zealand in just a few hours. They explained to us that their son went to New Zealand about 5 years ago to play rugby and he found his future wife!!!! So, she and her family came to see Tonga! They already planned to find the missionaries to teach her, but we had already been guided by the spirit to show up!!! So a couple hours later, we showed back up to come join the feast and meet the family!!!! The whole family is so so nice, they were excited to see a white guy that speaks English!!! After getting to know them for a while, we were able to set up an appointment with the girl and her sister.  The girl's family wasn't too interested, but the whole family showed up to church on Sunday!!!!!!

We were able to teach all of lesson 1 and lesson 2 to the girls after church.  It was hilarious, after the first lesson they said they hadn't had enough, and they wanted to hear more, so we taught the whole next lesson!!! It was a joy for me to feel their love for hearing about the gospel.  What brought complete joy to my heart, was their acceptance to the gospel message. I could already see their testimonies starting to grow!!!!!!!

We are teaching them again tomorrow, and hopefully we can finish teaching before they leave on Thursday back to New Zealand!!!! ( oh p.s the girl grew up in England, the one that's getting married) but I love to see their desires and their hearts opening to this beautiful message!!!!!!

Emeline is doing well. She says that she wants to be baptized and she is calling her dad to tell him that she wants to set up a date for the baptism. So, we keep praying and we having hope that will actually commit!!!!!!

This has been a great week, with lots of little miracles!!!!!! I love you all so much!!! looks like I hit the 1/2 way mark.  I can't believe that I will be with you next summer!!! love you all so much!!!
