Friends and Family,  everything is all good! I am in a new area. I got transferred from my first area... Liahona Ward. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have been given to serve our saviour. Also in this new area i am Senior Comp with my companion Elder Silipa from Apia, Samoa. This last weekend we got to know each other and also plan a baptism for a wonderful  brother Justin Laumatia. A mission is not easy...but if it was then it wouldn't be the program for "boys to become men". Everything that is  done and learned out here on the mission you have to do yourself. I would like to share one of  my favorite scriptures, "But charity, which is the Pure love of Christ and whosoever shall be found with it at the last day it shall be well with them." [Moroni 7:47-48] This love is contagious... all you have to do is share it with everyone! So my challenge to everyone is to find that someone that you can share love with and think outside the box and share that love with someone you don’t know! You never know what difference you can make in just one life.  Alofa Atu family and friends!
