This week was awesome, my companion and I really worked hard to find new people. We found a lot of great people that look really promising. We even got a baptism set up for this Friday. His name is Junior and I know the Lord had him prepared for us. We talked to the bishop with him about when the baptism would be and he just kept talking about how he wants to be clean and wants to repent. He talked about how some other churches don't grow up their kids with good standards. He is only 16. It is so rewarding to see an investigator talk like that. I am so excited for his baptism this weekend.
The Visitor's Center has been doing a Christmas Concert every night where the missionaries would sing songs and stuff and tons of people show up and we bring investigators. It's money for investigators because its short, and they like hearing the missionaries sing, and there is food after. Our zone had our turn of singing this past week, and we have another turn next week I think. We practiced for like 2 hours before, then right when it starts it just started pouring rain. It was raining so hard and our papers got destroyed and most of the songs were in Samoan, so I had no idea what to do. It was fun though.
On Monday I had one of the best days of my mission. We had a zone conference and went to the hospital to sing songs for the patients. The hospital has been packed recently especially with Dengue Fever patients. Elder Pu'efua and I got assigned to the kids area! I was soooo hyped. So we and a sister companionship sang songs to these little kids who were sooo sick. It was honestly one of the saddest but most spiritual experiences I have had. It was really cool because afterwords the parents would ask us if we could bless their kids, so we had great teaching opportunities teaching about the priesthood and blessings. It was just so special being able to sing to these kids and perform priesthood blessings for them. Truly one of the most humbling experiences I have had. Also, after President Hannemann took us to this super nice Chinese restaurant in town. They brought out so much food for us I was soo happy. Probably the best meal I have had here.
This week was good though, unfortunately I let a kid in my ward look at all of the pictures on my camera and he pressed the delete all button. So I no longer have any pictures from my mission. I am using some of my companions pictures from this week though.
