Wazzup in the hood,
It's just me here, shreddin' the gnar down here on some island. It's the dopest, most definitely. This week was good--we've been doing a split for the last few days with some elders in our zone. But really it's not a split, they've just been staying at our house. So that's cool, they're cool kids.
Oh yeah, so last Monday was transfers. Me and my comp are staying in Faiaai, which is good cause I like it here. My comp's dope too, so it's good. I'm the only one from my MTC group that didn't get a new area or a new companion. Haha, but I guess it's a good thing. It means things are going good. One of the kids from my MTC intake got punched in the face by his comp, so I guess I'm lucky.
So yeah, Monday was cool though. Me, my comp, the two guys that are living with us, and one of the kids from next door went up to the forest to get oranges. We got so many. They're way good too. That's pretty much all I eat now--we had a huge bag of them. It was cool--the kid from next door just climbed up the coconut tree and cut down a big palm leaf and then weaved a bag out of it in like five minutes. So we ended up collecting like a hundred oranges--it was a ton. I climbed up a coconut tree for the first time too. It was sweet. What you do is you climb it barefoot and use an ie lavalava that you tie around your feet. It was sweet. I got my arms and my feet all scraped up though cause you're supposed to come down really slow, but I just kinda hugged the tree and slid down like a fire pole. I guess that's not the most proper technique. I'll have to do some more practice. So anyways, that was cool and fresh coconuts always taste awesome, so it was good.
So yeah, not much else has happened this week. I've had a lot of really good study sessions this week--it's been awesome. Every opportunity I get, I just love to study the gospel cause it's not allowed to proselyte in the evening and we always have tons of time after the fafagas to study. So it's really goo. I started reading some stuff out of "Jesus the Christ." It's deep stuff man, it's real good. And all the books you sent me seem like the dopest. I only just started "A Marvelous Work and a Wonder." It's good.
We also had a baptism on Saturday--that was really good. It was for a girl named Tava'e. She's fourteen. She's dope though. The baptism was really good. I got to do the ordinance. Oh yeah, so like fifteen minutes before the baptism is supposed to start, we look in the font and there's only like four inches of water in there. (Sometimes water runs out in Samoa.) So we had to get a bunch of buckets and made a big chain of people going from the big water tank that collects the rain to the baptismal font. It was fun. It was like one of those water parties you have in the summer, except that we were all in our church clothes. But yeah, we ended up getting enough water in the font and the baptism was saved. It went really well--the Spirit was strong. The work here is going really well--it truly is amazing.
My life is awesome--I get to do cool stuff every day. Everything is legit, dope, sick, dank, double bones tight.
Love,
Taupolo Alii
