4 weeks out!!!

TALOFA LAVA LO'U AIGA!  DID YOU KNOW I LOVE THURSDAYS?

As usual, I have a ton to write you all about... so bear with me another week as you read this disorganized email. (:

-Mom, can you see if you can talk to Dani Ritchins for Justin's mailing address while he is at Basic Training?! I wanna write him, but dont have any address or email for him!!!! thank you in advance!

-got a package from sister smith last week with popcorn and m&ms! needless to say they are gone, and i thank her so much!!!

-Mitch, Isaac, Logan... be looking in the mail in a few days :D

-Tell Gramma Doris I got the Dear Elder from her!  it worked, just so she knows, and i cant wait to see what she and granddad up to these days! i bet she is excited for next week or so when the move happens! I think of her and granddad a lot!

-Last friday Bro Blaser was the "missionary" and our calss was the investigator... it was great to see how he would approach a first meeting and the lesson he gave was great and just what the investigator needed.... BUT i realised i cant speak the lang with emotion like he did, and kept thinking... HOW in the world are people going to feel what i have to say is true if i recite memorized lines?! ugh... i was frustrated with myself for that.... but i've gotten better from that- if anything it is pushing me to keep working and i know it wont come over night.

-Saturday was better than sunday! we had the TRC again!  taught 2 lessons this week!  1st we taught sisters, one served in auckland and said that president lekias is hilarious and wonderful! yay!

our second lesson went well too!  we taugh an RM who served in samoa.  he is a student at byu, too.  anyway our lesson was on receiveing revelation thru prayer. i shared my mission decision experience in samoan (cool, huh!?) and the lesson went well! i felt really good about it. at the end he gave us tips of how to improve, but also what we did well.  he said we gave of  the most organized and planned lessons to him at the TRC!  He also told me that being a palagi my pronunciation it great for only 3 weeks at the time, and that i sound really good! (sis pe'a said he was hittin on my in the most polite way.. hahaha!) he was pretty cute, i'm not gonna lie :) but don't worry mom, dad, i'm still quite focused... but sis pe'a is so funny... she told me afterwards that once we walked inthe the little room for the lesson with him, he was focused on me and she feld like, "we'd make a good couple one day." ha!  she made me  laugh... i did enjoy tlaking to him after words before we went back to class - he is taking chem 105 this semester... i said good luck, you'll survive - i did, by the grace of god.  he laughed...and sorry, but i don't remember his name. anyway thats my funny story of the week! hope you all are chuckling! :D  

-Sunday in RS we heard from Sister Elizabeth Rose from the General RS Board!  She served her mission in Japan and talked about serving others while staying on the straight and narrow path.  And about climbing mount fuji! sweet huh!? in my personal study i watched some of the bible videos the chruch has recently made and then studied the actual verses in the new testament! i learned so much.. .my favorite one is in Luke 12:13-34 i think we ALL CAN RELATE and find something from it.  GO READ IT! NOW. :)  my favorite verse is where Christ says, "Fear not little flock."  Ah, what comfort!  just go read it and you'll swoon with comfort just as i did. hee hee  it was also a beautiful day and we walked to the temple in the afternoon and sang samoan hymns in the back of the temple.... sounded real good... the spirit is real and strong when i sing in samoan.  DID YOU ALL LOOK FOR THE "AUA E TE MALIU ESE" HYMN YET!?  i should have a version of it on that SD Card i sent! look for the videos! we sang that one in sacrament last sunday as a musical number with the sisters  in my room.. OH i got a new calling! i'm now our branch's music coordinator until i leave for NZ!  so basically i organize musical numbers and pick the hymns... boo ya! 

-THANK the condgons for me! They dear eldered me and i loved it!  so good to hear from that awesome family and all the cool things they do!  

-mom im sorry tomorrow is your last day at work! I know it will be hard for you, but you know its all part of the plan to get back with your WHOLE FAMILY. :)  tell everyone in the office i say hello!

-I'm pretty sure Dear Elder works while im in NZ! however... i wont get them the same day you send them... i think it will be once a week i get a batch of them from the district leaders or somehting.... (crossing fingers!)

-we said goodbye to sista fa'alogo wednesday morning at 3:30 AM! (i wonder what time i have to go to the airport!)  she was so ready and excited, gonna miss her, but oakland, CA is so lucky to have her.

-speaking of travel plans... you know about as much as i do.  apparently we don't get our itinerary until a week before we leave... and i've heard rumors that i won't leave hear until the 11th of november.. .probably due to visas... in my district, elder matua's aunt works for the travel dept of the church and check on his info (hes also going to NZ) and she told him it was the 11th as of last week... so i'll keep ya posted!

CAN I JUST SAY IM P-U-M-P-E-D TO GET TO AUCKLAND?!  i'll be there before you know it! woop woop!

yesterday our district hosted the new missionaries that came in!  I saw the Biggs family! (from g-wood!)  talked to them for about a min b/c thats all we had time for!  I helped 2 sisters get settled and to their class just like another sister did for me 4 weeks ago!  it was a great experience, but hard to watch all the dads and especially moms after  the fact that their missionary was gone.  watching them drive away in tears was a bit hard for me... i just saw each of you 5 in our yukon... bleh!  too hard!

-you people are the best. that's all.  work hard this week, and it'll will all work out.

LOGAN TELL ME HOW YOUR INTERVIEWS went!!! i've thought about you all week and especially today! ...and i'll see about the LORDE conversion for ya... ;D

mom. you are a rock star.  dad. you are a rock star.  way to go with finding an awesome house so close to the church house and to work and you will all be together!  that is so good to hear!  i'm happy things are going as smoothly as possible, at least that is how i see it from my side.  wish i could help out!  but just put some norah jones (who i MISS TERRIBLY listening to) on  and i'm there with you all. :D

my heart goes out to you all each and every day.  i AM focused and love this work.  but i am mindful of you 5 as well as grandparents, cousins (TELL BRYNN TO EMAIL/D.E. me!!!!!),and  friends each day!

who knew so much love could fill my heart!?  honestly, my heart feel as if it is to burst any second here... there is so much good here!  i'm almost scared to go back to the real world...even if it will be auckland, nz!  i think that is all i have to tell you all for the week... i gotta go to the temple now (what a blessing to go each week!)

know i am always with you!

'ou te alofa ia outou lava! 

ou te iloa suafa a Iesu Keriso. i know that Jesus is the living Christ, and the the atonement was not only our sins, but also our every feeling emotional and physical - pains, afflictions, temptations, sorrows... he knows it all. he is waiting for us to come unto him and partake of the atonement each day so that we never have to go thru trials alone!  he is always with us!  i know my redeemer lives.  i le suafa o Iesu Keriso, `amene.

alofa fa'avavau.... Love forever....
