Crazy week this last week. On Wednesday we felt some of the effects of the cyclone that is near Fiji. It rained for like 14 hours straight, and most of the time it rained HARD. I went with an elder from my house in the afternoon to check up on some people in the pouring rain and some of the people’s houses were flooded like knee deep. But instead of crying and complaining about how hard life can be and how terrible it was.... We walked up to their house and a lady was sitting on an inner tube inside her house just relaxing and another lady was using the flood water to clean the windows! These people are the best!!!!!!

Other than that I am working on a map for our area- it is pretty fun. 

Time is flying by. Sorry for not emailing last week, the email places were full. 

We had 2 investigators come to a baptism to watch with us, so that was cool.

A theme of sacrifice has come up in this last week:

1. Liahona article about Mary and how here life completely changed- it wasn't her will but she did it anyway
2. Jeffrey R. Holland talk about "Remember Lot's wife"
3. In Church we talked about the Rich Young Ruler

The Lord requires a lot of us IF we want to be exalted. If we want to just kick back and do our own thing then we can, and we won't receive the training and experience necessary to qualify for exaltation.
Helaman 10- Nephi gets rejected so much but he grows a lot closer to God and receives many blessings.
