Hey fam and friends,
This past week was transfers again and I got
the boot from Hofoa and transferred to serve in Ha'akame. Ha'akame is a
relatively small town in the southwest part of Tonga with a lot of members. There are two wards in our small area and I believe there's a lot of work to be done. We already have a couple of investigators to teach. My new
companion is Elder Mohulamu from Tonga. He's a really good missionary and came in at the same time I did. I'm super excited to be a companion with him
and speak Tongan all the time, which was something I really wanted going into the
transfer. We are still the zone leaders and I'm now driving the newest car in the
mission, a 2015 Toyota Corolla, which I'm pretty pumped about.
I going to go back to the random things:
- We visited the ward members yesterday and when we went around, I kid
you not, there were at least 5 houses that were eating dog. I've also heard that
Ha'akame is the place to eat horse.
- I balled out in slippers this morning. Liahona is in the zone so the
basketball may be starting up again.
- We also taught a kid named Hautau. While we were teaching him and I was literally
inspired by the answers this kid gave. He's 13-years-old and giving inspired answers! Unfortunately we don't know if his parents know about him being taught so we
will see if we can continue to teach him.
- I finished the 3-month Book of Mormon challenge and have started reading
the epistles of Paul. I really like Kolinito (Corinthians) 2:4-5 where Paul is speaking on teaching, how when people are converted to the gospel it's not because of his way of speaking, but it's through
the power of the Holy Ghost. I think that's something really important that
every missionary needs to learn. It doesn't matter how deep your
knowledge of the scriptures is or how good your language is, but how people feel the holy ghost.
Love you all and have a great week,
Elder Wilson
