Dear Every one,

   

   So we had a pretty busy week. There was a lot of switching around and what not. One thing was we learned on Sunday night last week, was that this past week was golden orientation! Meaning on Thursday and Friday we went to Brisbane to drop off Elder Haiane so that he could get some extra training and what not! But you know what that means... road trip to Brisbane!!! haha It is only about a 2'ish hour drive though so it isn't toooo bad. Plus while we travel down I love to listen to a lot of talks and things and my companion loves to... sleep. haha But it gives me some good time to ponder and think. On Thursday we dropped him off and then me and another missionary who is training went to an area in Bunya Forest and blitzed the area. (that just means we came and gave them an extra hand) funny enough the missionaries we went with were both my friends Elder Iufoni (a Tongan elder that was in my first district) and Elder Cummings from my MTC. So it was actually pretty good to catch up with them both and then on Friday we got some more training for being trainers from President McSwain which was really good, something that really stuck out to me was that he talked about living after the manner of happiness which is of course being obedient. But it was very good. 

In Brisbane for Golden Orientation

Then after we finished with golden orientation on Friday afternoon we drove back up to Warwick and then we did a whole bunch of service for the Clark family because they are moving and they are getting close to that deadline... so we did the best we could to be available. (it is the same Clark family who we used their house to Skype at). 

Then on Sunday it was a good day at church. We are also pretty busy trying to organize for the baptism of our Filipino investigator Francia, which will be this Friday! So we are really excited for her... and really busy scheduling it all in but that is a good kind of busy. ummm... let's see also this week our ward is having a ward activity, which we are organizing with our ward mission leaders help. It is going to be a "Meet the Mormons" movie night so that everyone can bring friends to come and see who the Mormons really are. Next week I probably won't email until Wednesday because we will get a chance to go down to the temple. 

But other than that, I hope you all have a great week!
