The Will of God

Hello beautiful people!

It's so nice that y'all aren't sick of my emails yet ;)

This week was just as good as the last! Despite Sister Vaea getting

sick this Wednesday :( poor girl... Sounds like she is hacking up a

lung and yet she still wants to go out and work. That is the kind of

missionary she is :) until on Friday she had pushed herself too much

she didn't even wake up....I thought she was dead, she wasn't

waking up! Just kidding, that is super dramatic but she was

pretty sick so she slept the whole day. I still went out and did

missionary work though! Thankfully we live with another set of

sisters in our apartment and Sister Chatterton had had surgery on her

toe, so she was bed ridden. Sister Tilini (Sister Chattertons

companion) and I worked each other's areas. It was awesome! And we got a lot done despite us driving back and forth to each area. So that was

pretty eventful.

Saturday will be my main topic of this email though because it was mission conference!!!! Yay! We had Elder Hamula of the 70 (name of a leadership group in our church) come and speak to us. He was going to talk with us for an hour and a half however he stopped 30 min into his talk and said, "Brothers and Sisters I do have a talk and a topic to speak with you today, however I feel like I need to open up a question and answer for you all right now." So that was way cool and way needed because there was a new rule that president came out with regarding our preparation days (P-Days). Instead of emailing the whole day, we now get an hour and a half to

email, also we have an hour to play sports, and we have to be at our

church buildings in our area. So a lot of the questions were centered

around the will of God, which I found really interesting seeing as

this has been a topic in my studies for a good month or two. What I

really liked is his process in how to change, and that is to:

1) accept that you have the agency to act and not be acted upon

2) act outwardly the way you want to be inwardly

3) avail yourself of the lords grace.

I'm really grateful for these new rules because it will make our

mission so much better. I know the Lord needs us to change some things

in order to further his work and if a little thing like this is going

to do it then I know the missionaries here and the people they teach

are going to be blessed.

In other news I am so pumped for this week!!! Lynn Egan is getting

baptized this Friday and we will be attending the temple with her

tomorrow! She is seriously my favorite. She made us homemade bread and it was delicious.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful week! Btw go check out mormon.org
