26 May 2013.

This past week has been a blast, pretty fun. It started off Monday, we were able to go to Hastings for my license test. It is always fun to have P-day with more people than just you and your companion. But there was some bad news that happened too. The warrant of fitness was not updated on the car so I had no chance to take the test. All I can say is this must be what the Lord wants.

Then on Tuesday, my Soa and I went on exchanges with the Zone Leaders. It's really good to be able to out with other people. We both went to Napier this time which is good; I like spending time with my trainer/father. But an experience we had while I was with Elder Smith was gross. We were able to go up to these peoples home and the lady seemed very interested and told us to come back where she lived with her boyfriend. We were talking to both of them and the guys told Elder Smith, "I wouldn't step there, that is where I do all my vomiting." I couldn't even stop looking at the place that he said. Elder Smith's new shoes had vomit all over them. I wanted to vomit, and you know how I am with vomit around me. I was just praying please don't let this guys vomit and let Elder Smith what to say--I'm still scared to talk!!!

Then we had Zone Conference on Thursday! I loved it. I got to see all the missionaries in my zone and talk to them. And the best thing was that President Kezerian was able to talk to us about what we needed to hear. The one thing I remember was always to have this question in mind: What is the next ordinance that this person needs? This question is for everyone in the gospel and for people that have not heard the gospel. From the ordinance of baptism and the ordinance of receiving the priesthood.

Right after Zone Conference I started another exchange with my District Leader and his companion. That night while I was riding someones bike I heard a loud ripping sound. It happened when I put my leg up to ride the bike. My suit pants ripped!!!!!!!! This means I am getting fat!!! NOOOOOOO.. Well the pants were a little tight, they were the ones I found in my flat so nothing that I bought has ripped yet--that is good news.

Saturday night our exchanges ended and we went back home it was great being back in our own flat just my companion and me. While I was preparing my talk for tomorrow my Soa had something to tell me. He said I wanted to tell you earlier but I didn't know how. So I started thinking what am I going to tell President? But then he went on and said that he received a call from Elder Smith, one of my Zone Leaders, and he told him that he is being transferred!! I will be getting a Tahitian companion. This brought me to tears. I do not like change. I couldn't focus on what my talk was going to be on. I didn't even fall asleep till about 12. But last night my Soa got a cold of some sort with a bad headache and fever and asked for a blessing of comfort. The Lord works in many different ways. By giving him the blessing I was comforted as well and know that getting a new companion is the right thing.

I love my trainer; I am sad that he is leaving me but it is for the best. I love you Elder Kavea. So I just want to say I love you family, the church is true.

I love you so much Mom, I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers; I feel their comfort all the time.

{On my way to Napier}

This has been a great week, a lot of stuff went on. First, off I went on my first exchange that I was really away from my soa. I didn't know what to expect from being away from my father (in my mission all the missionaries have like their own family line. Elder Kavea, my father, has trained two other boys so I have two brothers. I am already an Uncle to someone.) Remind me to send a picture of my family tree. I went on the exchange with one of my Zone Leaders, Elder Bender, he is from Tasmania--that little island off of Australia. The area that we went to serve in is called Napier. It is close to the coast but I never got a picture of it. While we were door knocking we had a crazy lady come outside. This lady was really psycho! First off she told us her son was in Heaven and that she got to see his body (it had been tortured) and how he had a big hole on the back of his skull. Gross, but then she started on that she id tired of people f-ing hunting her. (While she said this she was about over the fence in Elder Benders face) Then she wend on to tell us the reason why she was being hunted was because she is part of f-ing Jesus Christs Blood line. It was the weirdest thing Elder Bender and I have seen. So that was something that I will remember about my first exchange. Elder Bender also told me I am getting better at talking to people, just use that big smile of yours!!!! So that made me feel better. I also got s hair cut from a member in this area; he gives all the missionaries free hair cuts and I look skuxx (hot, good looking)!

Just the past couple of days my soa and me have been moving. We moved from 7 Mclean Terrace to 1A St. Marys. It is like a 5 star hotel compared to the place we were staying at the other day. The reason we moved was because the senior couple in the area was released because of medical reasons. This is sad because this old couple would go around peoples homes door knocking and they were all about the work. I think it is very cool that I am moving into a new flat, it is close to my second transfer so I got to move into my other house for my next transfer.

On Sunday my two branches met together. Taipuks chapel building is being renovated so we went to the Hauke building. Which is the other branch that we are a part of. It was good to meet them because we are stuck in Waipuk because I messed up on my license test. I will be doing in on the 20th of May and I won't forget anything that I need now.

It is good to know that you guys are safe.
