Samoan Week 16: Baptism by Fire

Brothers and Sisters Talofa! I hope everyone is having a great morning! This week has been a lot of fun! Monday evening we had dinner with a part member family named the Nathans. They were awesome, and they are from Hawaii. They are even going to give us some lava lavas! So they were a great family, and we a lot of fun with their family. Wednesday we went down to Salt Lake City. Elder Miller had something he had to do down there, and we walked around for a little bit afterwards which was a lot fun as well! We met some missionaries from the Salt Lake Mission which was fun. It’s always fun to go downtown and to see the SLC Temple!

Thursday we had a baptism interview to do for the Sisters in our district which was fun. It was down in South Jordan. So, it was fun to drive down there. haha! District Meeting was good, and we talked about teaching skills from Chapter 10 of Preach My Gospel and a little bit about the Book of Mormon. We got a new investigator Saturday! They are two brothers. One is 9 and the other is 8. So now we are working with them to prepared them to be baptized which is awesome! So, I look forward to working with them more now!

We also had a few lessons Sunday which was awesome! It’s great to see the work start picking up now! I love this area, and I can’t believe how fast this transfer is going! It’s already November! We also did Zumba this morning. If any of y’all know what that is, haha! And it was a lot of fun!! But, love y’all and I hope everyone has a great week!!
