Elder Tiatia has had 2 more baptisms and has a baptism every Saturday for the next month! They are teaching soooooo many people right now! This past week he was riding his bike with his right hand holding a water bottle and his left on the handle…their cell phone rang…as he looked down as the phone a lady walked in front of him and he had to slam on his brakes….with the only hand on the handle (his left) he flew over the front of his bike and face planted it. He said he scraped up his shoulder and his ankle is killing him but other than that he is doing good! His letter was hilarious talking about what happened! Apparently Crystal and Jesus were laughing their heads off (the couple sitting on their porch of course). He put on a pretty great show for them. He is growing and growing spiritually and its so fun to watch him grow with each letter and email. He’s still loving Arizona mostly because his visa for NZ hasn’t come through yet. He told me that the best part of serving his mission is not only bringing people to the truth of the gospel but that its helping shape him to become a husband, father, and hard worker.
"If you serve a mission faithfully and well, you will be a better husband, you will be a better father, you will be a better student, a better worker in your chosen vocation. Love is of the essence of this missionary work. Selflessness is of its very nature. Self-discipline is its requirement. Prayer opens its reservoir of power."
