Hey

Hey everyone...sorry its been a while since i wrote but ive been getting so many emails its been hard to write. But things are going well here....im still in Estancia but my companion is finally a poly...hes Elder Tafiti from New Zealand but he speaks Samoan and english....he grew up speaking english. So, yah. We also have had a new mission president now for about a month now. President Aquino. President Pagaduans time is up and so its definitely different and itll take some adjusting, but its doable. Also my best friend was just baptized yesterday :) its way cool after all that shes been through in her journey to just entering the gate to salvation, shes finally entered it and i cant wait to see the rest of it and i get to be there too :) Also, my family had a great week last week with going to the family reunion and see all the love of the family members there :) So it was way awesome to recieve such good news...also, i want to thank all the family and the individuals that helped my mom to get back home and just for all the love you showed her. She really needed it and still does.So dont stop. Thanks a ton.

Also, i am very grateful for this wonderful gospel and the pure message of truth that it has. I have taught many, many, many, many people through out the course of my mission and the ones that accept this message ive seen the way it changes them and in turn changes me. This wonderful work requires us to be non hypocritical, always repentant, humble,submissive, teachable, inspired and dependent on the spirit, slow to anger, full of patience and love, stretch ourselves and our faith and have the eternal perspective. And this wonderful gospel in its true restored form shows us how to do that :) With the standard works and the living prophets and apostles, continue to guide us and with the Preisthood authority of God,or the license to do this work, we can change and understand it faster than anywhere else.

the church really is so true and has all the answers to our questions :)
