Exchanges this week

This week was good! We were able to teach a lot of members and build a lot of Ward trust. We had exchanges this week as well. I was able to go with a new Elder from Florida named Elder Corlew! He is so cool! He was baptized a year and a half ago so I have been a missionary longer than he has been a member! CRAZY! He is super fun! We have been having a fun time seeing investigators in our area progress. It is always a testimony builder to see people love the Gospel of Jesus Christ as soon as they are introduced to it! Anyways hope everyone has a good week!

New Companion is Awesome

This week was super fun! Elder 'Iongi (E-ong-e) is my new companion. He is a Tongan from Bountiful, Utah. It has been really fun! We have been super busy and doing a lot of work. We had a cool experience this week. We saw some people pushing a car so we went and got them some gas and they were super cool! Also had a really good volleyball night with a lot of people. Also, our investigators Kou and Kiri are still planning on baptism on June 30th! We are so excited! We have definitely seen lots of blessings!!
