Prison

This week was sooo amazing, with so many miracles. First, we went to prison to get a signature for a baptism of our 8 year old friend Melchizedek! He goes by Mel for short. I think of my whole mission this baptismal service was probably the top 5. It was seriously so spiritual. It took so much to get this little kid baptized. Both of his parents are not members but some awesome members of the ward have been picking him up for church the past 2 months. His mom was ok with the baptism, but would not sign the paper. SO WE WENT TO JAIL. His father is in in Jail. Man it was crazy, we had to get patted down and scanned and everything. We ate breakfast with all the inmates (couldn't bring my camera in, otherwise would have gotten a dope pic with the bros) and talked to his father. Man, his father was more than excited for his baptism. Such a humbling experience. His mother came to his baptism and our stake president gave an awesome talk and the mom was just crying the whole time and the baptism was awesome and it was just allll soo awesome, spirit was so strong. Faafetai i le Atua!!!

Mel's baptism was the highlight of the week, other cool things: we got to drive a pickup for a day, did a split with Elders Esplin and Zembal and went on the backside of the island, and played some ball this morning.
