Aaplog Kaise?
How is everyone! Things here are so good!! This week was great!
I really love it here in Suva! We have a really big area which actually overlaps with 3 other companionships, but it is good because we always have a new place we can go finding!
We got a referral from the church this week on Tuesday and so we called the number up and met up with him to give him a Book of Mormon! Turns out he is married to a member from Australia and want to learn more about the church. It was awesome. Such a good first lesson! We also gave his mother a blessing because she was really sick and yeah it was just all around a really good start to the day!
Straight after that we did some finding around his house and ended up finding 5 new investigator! All the new investigators are Indian which is huge for us, because finding Indians is what we decided to focus on this week! Also during finding we came across a less active family who we hadn't met yet, and so we invited them to church! Well they ended up coming yesterday! Since Feb missionaries don't focus on less actives anymore, but we were guided to them for a reason and it was really great to see them there on Sunday!
On Thursday we went and did some service with the Zone Leaders and the Suva 4th elders! It was awesome! That is what a couple of the pictures are from!
Saturday was Kumari's baptismal service! It was a little stressful in the morning leading up to it, but it ended up going really good!! This was the first ever baptismal service which was completely in the hindi language, according to our Bishop and Mission President, and so it was awesome to be a part of! President and Sister Higgins came to it and so it was really special to have them there! I had to give talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost super last minute because of a late fall through. I was a little nervous before because it was in Hindi in front of President Higgins, but it actually went really well:) Kumari was so excited to be baptized, even if it doesn't seem like he is from the picture haha! He had been waiting for that day for a long time! Along with receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost!
Random story! On the way home from church we had a drunk man try and fight us haha! It was pretty crazy and got a little sketchy for a minute, but everything turned out okay in the end! No matter what situation we get put into I feel a strong protection from Heavenly Father! We just have to make sure we are trying to stay out of bad situations, but for some reason we have gotten into quiet a few lately!
I finished 'The Book of Mormon' again recently and it was really special experience for me! I know this church is true. I know that this is where I am supposes to be right now, and I am loving it.
I love you all so much and am really grateful for all your support! So excited to hear about everyone leaving on their missions, and also all those who are returning!
Have a great week!
Dher pyar Fiji se!
