This week has been really good! We have had a lot of our investigators from before either be really busy or dodge us this week. That was not good and it's kind of bad because the three that are doing it the most are from the same church. It's possible someone from their church said something about our church. Hopefully, we'll be able to meet with them and clear up any misunderstandings that may have occurred.
There was some pretty bad weather yesterday that prevented the members and investigators from coming to church. It's unfortunate because our meetings were very nice yesterday especially because one of the stake presidents from Taiwan, Brother Young, came to church this week. He was visiting for some research and saw us walking on the road and we told him about church and he came. He was really cool and had a really nice spirit with him. He reminded me of one of my friends from the University of Utah named Abraham Chung whose father is the area seventy in Taiwan. I asked Elder Young about him and he seemed to know who he was.
We found some really good investigators this week. One man is named Iosua Malona. He knows the bible really well and he pretty much was teaching us the first lesson when we were talking to him before the lesson. I'm really excited to teach him this week because I think it would be really good if he joins the church.
We also visited a lot of our recent converts from the last baptism. We shared with the Tekueia family about temples and they seem so excited to go to the temple. I really felt the spirit as we shared with them about temples and how families can be together forever. I really hope they go through the temple while I'm still in Fiji and that my mission president will let me go to be with them. We'll see!
That's something interesting. We will be having a new mission president this coming june, but who it is still hasn't been announced at least to me. So it will be exciting to see who it is. It's a big job to preside over this mission and requires a lot more creativity and stamina than a lot of other missions because the president here moves practically once every three weeks.
Well today was an adventure. I went and got my hair cut by this really crazy chinese guy. Elder Key told me his last companion had a really bad haircut from this guy. I was worried it would look really bad, but it turned out to be pretty good. I'm not too picky about haircuts. (that's why mom cut my hair almost every time I got a haircut....)
This week has been really good! I really love being a missionary and I'm hopeful that I will be here in Tuvalu for a while. President Ostler told me probably 4 months total. When we go back in two weeks that will be two months. So I probably will come back and be here until May. Then back to Fiji! I actually am saying a fair bit in Tuvaluan this week, so slowly but surely I'll learn this language.
Love you all,
Elder Paul Leland Hill
