Happy Birthday Elder Tetuaiterai

Another solid P-day last week. Elder Tetuaiterai made this raw tuna dish and we played soccer and volleyball with the kids in the neighborhood. 

Thursday I headed up to Tontouta on an exchange with Elder Claveau. First time I've done an exchange where I leave my own area. It was super solid. Taught a guy named Jean Mark the restoration. He understood super super well I was a little surprised. Later that day we taught a legendary recent convert named Steve about patriarchal blessings and we answered a bunch of his questions. Ive already talked I little about him in previous emails but he still amazes me. 

Friday was Elder T's birthday! I think we ate a total of 4 cakes for his birthday. Some other missionaries and members all made cakes for him haha. We also had a lesson with Rodrick the kid our age who told us he was baptized protestant and that he'll die protestant but at the end of the lesson he asked how can one get baptized into our church! Crazy stuff. 

Saturday we had a perfect lesson with Moea. I think she's finally convinced she needs to read the Book of Mormon now. We'll see this weekend if she actually does! We also met a new investigator named Maka. We showed up just to share a little message for maybe 15 minutes but he ended up feeding us lunch and asking a never ending stream of questions! Super cool. He's catholic but super open to talk about other religions. 

Sunday after church literally nobody was home. Didn't really get to talk to anyone unfortunately.

Monday we had to give up the car! We wont have a car all this week because presidents assistants are here and they decided to take our car to drive up and down the island to do exchanges with everybody. We probably walked 6 or 7 miles because our area is too big. We had a few lessons and it was solid but crazy tiring. 

Tuesday was a similar story. We decided to stay a little closer to our house this time round. We saw Nels and Vaiana again. Everyone is still going well! 

That's all for this week! 

Avec amour,
Elder Burbank
