Sa 'Ara na Yadra brasss

Great week this week!

We were able to baptize Joji and Sivoi! We had a rough time with their interviews seeing as the Zone Leaders are an hour away and we have to wait for boats and all that jazz to get to Malake but it worked out!

We were supposed to baptize Alipate as well but he fainted when he tried to leave the morning of his baptism and has fainted whenever he tries to go to church. His family thinks someone cursed him... Good thing we have the Priesthood.

We are on that Fasting grind here in RakiRaki. We don't get fed too often by members and they messed up our support payments for this month so we ran out of money very fast. I've scavenged the cabinets a few times and managed to find an expired package of instant noodles I ate raw and made some cracker peanut butter sandwiches with some old crackers we found. Couldn't tell what was creamier, the PB or the cracker.. It's all good though we'll just contact the mission office and hopefully work things out.

Shout out to all the Tina's on mothers day yesterday. One woman told me she constantly travels back and forth between Suva and RakiRaki (4hrs) to take care of her 45+ year old sons. One of them is sick  and the other gets worried when she's gone so she goes back and forth to restock her one son's flour and to nurse the other back to health. She said it's just because it's her responsibility. Thanks moms for all you do!

Love ya all
