Serving the Lord in Samoa: New President!

This last week has been absolutely insane! Last Friday we got a call from the Zone Leaders and told us to say a prayer, I was like are you kidding me transfers. So ya I GOT TRANSFERRED. 8 and a half months in my first area and I left, its crazy. BUT, I only got transferred across the street. Like literally my new house is a 3 min walk away. Its nice because I see people from my first area all the time but have all new investigators and members to work with. We cover 6 wards! And we cover the one English Ward on this island, so technically our area is the whole island haha. My new companion is Elder Mauigoa, he is a native from Savaii and finishes next month. He barely knows English so it is all Samoan in my life now...again. Elder Mauigoa and I are the Zone Leaders for this zone which means we also have a CAR. It is a 15 person van and its a stick with everything opposite from America. It has been such a struggle to learn. My companion is just yelling at me in Samoan the whole time and I am not gonna lie it is frustrating sometimes, it is such a huge van. It's fun though.

We got a new President! President Ho Ching came in on Monday, me and my companion dropped by the office Monday night to drop off some Baptism Papers, and low key try to say bye to President Hannemann, we showed up and President and Sister Hannemann and President and Sister Ho Ching were all in the office talking, they saw us and invited us in. We quick said by to the Hannemann's and took a picture with them, They were so good I am going to miss them so much. We met the Ho Ching's and they are awesome also. All the Zone Leaders had a meeting with Ho Ching this morning for a little get to know you which was pretty cool. So ya new president I think we will have some changes in the future but we will see.

Just real quick about the area, its awesome! When I was in Lotopa we were teaching this girl named Rachel who was absoluetly golden, but then we had to refer her to the Zone Leaders because she wanted to go to the English ward, well I got transferred to cover that ward the day before her baptism, so I was able to do the baptism for her! It was super cool. She also wanted me to do a baby blessing for her baby in sacrament meeting the next day. So I did my first baby blessing also for Koriana Pele, at least it was in English cuz English ward.

All is good and things are changing here in Samoa. Missionary work truly is the Lords work! Jesus is the Christ! I hope everyone has a good week!
