Elder Mease Week 39

hello everyone!:) i hope you all had a great week this week! this week me and elder palaiti had a BAPTISM!! we baptized brother arhin! it was such a sweet baptism! afterwords he was so happy to be baptized it was awesome! he has waited so long for his baptism and its finally come! 

we went to a few investigators farms this week also which was pretty sweet! we weeded for about 3 hours in the bush then afterwards they gave us some nice food:) 

it is so hard to believe that i have been on mission for 9 months now! just a few months from now i will be at a year which is unreal! i am already more than 1/3 of the way done from mission.. me and elder palaiti talked with a ton of people trying to find new people that we can teach and convert to the gospel! because most of our investigators are now being baptized which we are so happy for! in my opinion, the finding stage is the hardest part of mission because it is so hard to find the people who really desire to have this gospel in their lives and its just important for me and my companion to listen to the spirit to lead us to those people who need this in their lives! 

i did an exchange with one of the missionaries in my district named elder petersen and the exchange went great! we had a great time learning from one another and he has been on mission for about 4 months now so he is still a little new to the mission life but i had a good time showing him tips that he could do for missionary work.

brother yaw got confirmed just yesterday and it was so cool being able to see him as a new member of the church! i just love the smile on their faces when they receive their baptism and confirmation! so me and elder palaiti were able to get his records and and its now official:) this week was probably one of the fastest weeks i had on mission! maybe due to the fact that i emailed on a wednesday lol but seriously this week FLEW!! we have zone conference coming up tomorrow and im super excited about that! love mission and love the people! love and miss you all as well and hope you have a great week this week:)
