Let's talk about diarrhea...

Kaise hai!

This week was good. I'm still getting used to the work here in Ba because it is a lot slower than the work I have done for most of the rest of my mission. We usually get maybe eight to ten lessons a week. Elder Tay is a really good companion, we've been bonding a lot this week. He takes good care of me and cooks me really good food.

This past week I was kind of sick. Do you all remember when the lady at the State Health Department said ,"Now let's talk about diarrhea."? I wish I had paid a little better attention when she was speaking. All is well though. We have a mission nurse who just came in two weeks ago and he has been helping me to stay healthy inspite of whatever is happening to my bowels. I'm actually feeling quite good today.

One of the highlights of our week this week was the Mateiwai family. They just keep bringing more of their family to church. Bro. Mateiwai is the brother that got the melchizedek priesthood last week and he is just being strong. He's asking a lot of questions about the priesthood and trying to serve well. I have a feeling he will be a leader here in Ba. He is so sincere and so good. Yesterday we talked to them about FHE but they already do it pretty regularly. They are a really good family. Their boys kind of remind me of the McEntires. I don't know why!

Another really funny thing is that we went to teach a family that we have desperately been trying to get in touch with, and when we went there, they didn't sit down with us. The mom's brother did though, and so we taught him the plan of Salvation. He loved it and we'll be going back to see him on Tuesday. It's weird how sometimes you think you're going somewhere for one person, but then someone else comes into your path.

The Lord is blessing us so much in the work. We haven't seen conference yet but I hope we'll be able to soon. If nothing else, I'll buy the DVD when we go into Suva in November. The longer I wait, the more I'll enjoy it maybe.

BY the way! Baby Drew is a super stud! Way to go Heidi and Andrew! I'm really excited to meet him when I come home! Which is not that far away...

Love you,
