Quarantine

Hello all, Pretty much we just got the notice that we aren't allowed to leave the flat. We can come out only for essentials. We are waiting now for any news about when a return flight will be arriving.

That means plenty of scripture reading and trying to find fun.

Stay safe everyone!

Not much news. Fiji has coronavirus but it's contained (So they say) we've stocked up on food and are doing okay. Panic shopping has set in but only sugar and flour are out. Plenty of Toilet paper here everyone! La Mai volia na nomudou!

My new area is Tavua. Back to Rakiraki district. It's supposed to be really hot here but there has been nonstop rain for the last 2 weeks.

There were lots of goodbyes but i'm excited to start working in the burning West!

Loloma yani!

Korovirus

Nothing has changed for us except for church. We had a good week but I'll let the pictures explain.

Koro means village in Fijian. So all the elders in the bush have had Korovirus for a while now.

Yeah Pretty normal week. Everyone stay safe and healthy.

The Qereya family made it to the temple before it closed! 

Weird Shellfish food. Supposedly a very nice expensive treat. 

Fijians like colored houses

"Zone Conference day is always Chest Day"

It was a good week!

Amelia was baptized! It was awesome for her and for the ward. We also had Zone Conference this week.

The Subject was just a quote from an Elder in our zone. Funny stuff.

Sorry for the shorter email.

Have a Good week!

Feelin' Hot, Hot, Hot

It's been a VERY hot week recently. Probably the hottest time my entire mission.

We have had a pretty good week teaching wise. Lots of people coming to church which is awesome! Lots of less-actives are returning as well. We have focused more on finding through members instead of finding through our own efforts and it's been awesome. We've gotten 3 referrals that are all looking really nice. One of them is getting baptized this Saturday!

Amelia was a referral from a member family and is very excited for her baptismal date this Saturday.

Have an awesome week!
