Hey mom! 

Sorry for not emailing so much. But Elder Ah Chee his ward is in my zone. I actually right now am emailing at his Chapel! Tell him I love him for doing the fathers work and know that the work is doing so well over here! Hey just a quick story, so we are teaching this investigator her name is Paese. She is blind. We have been teaching her for a while and she has expressed so many times how hard this is for her. But we just have taught her all of the lessons, but this last visit was very special. We walked in and sat down, and immediately after the prayer she started crying, we asked what was wrong and then she looks at us and says that ever sense she has started taking lessons, praying, and learning more that slowly she has been getting her eye sight back. I am not joking when I say she is getting her sight back because she has faith by our words that this gospel is true. I am telling you that this gospel is a gospel of miracles, and this is a miracle that we have been blessed to experience. 

My new companion is Elder Vaa Sioka. He is a Samoa samoa. And one of the best missionaries in the mission. I love it out here mom and don't ever think that I complain because with God nothing is hard. I want you to know this gospel is true God lives and that with His son we can overcome all things. I love this gospel and most importantly I love the people of Samoa! 

I hope you have an amazing week. I will try to write land to tell you more stories and I am starting on christmas gifts so if there is anything specific you would like from samoa let me know I am not scared to ask anyone for anything.

-You sound like you are doing amazing.  If you see Elder Ah Chee's family, tell them to check FB for a message, and find me on FB.   I hope they got the picture this morning!!! What a blessing when I know I am switching sons with faithful people in Samoa.  

I am glad you get a long with Elder Vaa Sioka.  I hope you want to leave those islands in nine months ;)

-HECK NO I DONT WANT TO LEAVEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey yeah no I had no thought in my mind that I would get transferred. The reason I did was because Elder Mouga told President that I was a good leader as well as my companion now told president that I was a good elder. My new comp is awesome he was the old AP and we are killing it out here. The area is huge and we are lucky to move around with a car. There are three sets of Zone Leaders on Savaii are we are one of them and Elder Mounga is another. We see each other a lot! I am having a good time but am pretty nervous still about how I can help this Zone produce how it needs to be! I love that I have this opportunity and that God has trusted me to look over all of these Elders but I am praying every day for guidance. I don't know how I did anything before my mission because I never asked for the Lords help. I see now how true and precious this opportunity is for us to use our Heavenly Father in our everyday life!!!!! I am so grateful for this opportunity I will write letters to make it easier for you all to understand how I really am doing but I literally have no time today! I love you mom and I did get those packages. Two of them. I will send that SD card in the letter I send to you. It will probably be a package...with some gifts from Savaii. Love you and keep staying strong!!!'

I would like to first appologize for last week. No internet and yes this week I do, but it will be short. I am now in Savaii and I have a native companion. Don't worry mom he is the old AP. We are serving in Sili and I am a new Zone leader. The work has been going awesome and I am so sad I got transferred. We had three baptisms that we had planned for this week and two more in the coming weeks. But I am grateful for the opportunity I have to serve in this area. I hope that your week goes well!
