Jesus loves you

Sapoi and Beck (and the brethren on the wall :) ) continue to work hard

Malo e lelei 

This week was so busy and full of work! 
The work here in Manurewa is amazing and we have SO MUCH to do. We keep getting referrals and it is amazing!! We are staying so busy and I am learning heaps.

Missionary work is hard, but soooooo good. I am continuing to learn from my mistakes and strive to be the best missionary I can. I know as I put my trust in the Lord he is helping me through everything. 

Palu set his date for baptism this week and he is going to he baptized on the 21! That was such a miracle and I know that he is so ready to be baptized. 

We had some crazy stuff happen this week haha. This lady told us that she has special powers and sells this special water stuff that can heal people. She spoke in only Tongan so I had no idea what was going on, but I could tell something was off. We also had an investigator confess his love for my companion and tell her that he wanted to move to Tonga with her when she goes home. He also sent some creepy texts. Hahahaha the people in South Auckland are something else. It's a new adventure everyday, I love it! I am glad to report we are safe and we will not be visiting either of these people by ourselves again. 

Guys missionary work is hard, exhausting, happy, hilarious, all the feelings, but most of all it's so rewarding. I am learning so much. I just have to trust in the Lord and put forth my best effort. This week I am really going to work on being bold and being confident in my testimony. I want to be able to bring the gospel and its blessings to everyone and I know the only way I can do that is if I open my mouth. I know I am going to make mistakes and feel stupid sometimes, but that's how we learn and grow. It's hard, but it's so worth it!

I love you all and miss tons!

New Companion, Same Area (mom questions answered)

Sistah Uata (new companion) and Sistah Beck in Manurewa Hello everyone this has been a crazy week, but I am doing so good! I have a new companion, Sister Uata, and I am in the same area! Sister Uata is from California and she is Tongan, but she is in the Samoan program (which means she was originally assigned to labor in NZ to the folks who speak Samoan) and now she is serving in a Tongan ward. Its crazy but God works in mysterious ways. This area is amazing and we have seen so many miracles this week. The work here in Manurewa is INSANE. Guys I know I always say this, but there is so much to do. We have 2 baptisms this week and we had 8 people at church on Sunday! It was crazy. We have never had more than like 4 people before. There is always so much to do. It can be overwhelming at times, but I am so grateful.  The reason this area is doing so well is because of the members . They help us so much and are always out fellowshiping and visiting people. I love e...

Q-time....PDay at home

Well .....as most of you know I am now home because of the corona virus. I am heart broken to leave my home in NZ, that country has my heart and I will miss everything about it. I am so grateful for every experience I had and all the amazing people I was able to meet. I will cherish those relationships and memories for the rest of my life:’) I know that this is heavenly fathers plan for me, even if I can’t understand it right now. This is definitely not what I wanted to happen, but I know that this will all be for my benefit in the end. I have no idea what the future holds, but I am looking forward with faith and trust that I will be able to continue my mission else where for the time being and hopefully be able to return to New Zealand again as a missionary! God has a plan and I know everything will work out.  My friend shared with me a scripture today that I loved. It’s in Romans chapter 8 verse 18 “ for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to...
