Oy! hey famo look like all is well az. Sounds like all the kids are doing good thats great! well my week Elder goodrich says that he has never seen a kid eat as much as I can... I dont know what happens, but once the Tongans say the word "Feed" i just turn into a disposal! but then right when we eat just us, i cant eat very much haha I think God gives me a second stomach when im with the tongans. When you eat alot they like you, also when you eat with your hands. They straigt FOBS haha they are cool az and teach me Tongan and stuff. We have been finding some people to teach and have succeeded. We are teaching and indian family straight from India haha they are really liking what we are teaching them. They are hindu and so they have a hang up on only praying to one god...but we quickly resolved that. They are solid az, they are like pumped for coming to church and they ask really straight az questions. We have a aussie named daniel and he is 27 he knows the church is true but he doesnt think he needs to be baptized by the proper authority? hmmmm go figure... Everything is like three times expensive az here. So a big mac combo meal= 15 dollars which in america is probably 14.25 dollars so it is money town. This country is very very lost they only think you need the beach, girls, alcohol, and drugs. It is bad. We cant go anywhere by the beach anymore because when the sun gets hot, the tops get popped haha. Everything is going well but if you send me a package with stuff I need a watch. because the cheep rubber ones are 70 dollars so im not about to do that. Earlier this week we were at the top of a mountain and we had to get to the street to catch the bus. So we had to go on a bush walk where we climbed down in the jungle part haha it was insane. We were planning that night and elder goodrich let out a scream and punched his chest and he had some ticks on him. how they got under his garmets? who knows haha The spiders here are super dangerous and deadly so you have to be extra carefull. But other that that the work is progressing people are accepting. Hoorah for Israel!
D.J.- It is so fun to hear from you! Dean and I read this to our kids. Any Missionary experiences we can share with Alek is always good! Even humorous ones, like this! He use to tell us he was never going to seve a mission. But when he sees people like you, pepole that he admires, serving a mission. I really think it has changed his mind! So continue "Moving Mountians!' And stay away from those spiders! We are very proud of you!
