Roasted Pig and Volleyball

Hello everyone! The internet today is suuuuuuper slow so I'm going to

make this quick.

This week has been pretty solid! As of yesterday we got a new mission

president, President Duquette. He will be coming to Santo on Friday

and all the missionaries in the zone will get to meet him!

Weekly highlights:

We had a branch activity on Saturday for everyone in Jarailan. Tons of

people came! Members and non-members alike. Also a ton of less actives

came back to church as a result of the activity! We were hyped! It's

amazing what a roasted pig and a little bit of volleyball can do to

get people hyped about going back to church haha.

We have also been working with the perspective priesthood holders in

the Tanovoli branch. There are two boys, Alex and Siras who we are

both trying to get motivated to get the priesthood and do the

sacrament in the branch. They both seemed to be willing and I think it

would help the branch a ton if they came. Also, the branch is going to

be getting a proper church building finally! Recently we've been

meeting in this unfinished house of this less active member but now

were are going to have a proper traditional ni-van shelter built to

have church in.

This week we also found 3 new investigators! All in this one village

called Mavun where the church hasn't really touched yet. We've been

seeing some members relatives who are not members of the church. We

also found this investigator named Melodie. She asks tons of good

questions and really wants to understand. At first she thought we

needed to take the sacrament everyday but now she understand pretty

well that God commanded to take it once a week. We are excited to work

with her!

That's about it for this week!

Avec amour,

Elder Burbank
