January 4th POST---TRANSFER TIME----DRUMROLL PLEASE!!!!!

So my Mon Mere has been slacking, I heard she got reamed by her friends on Facebook---tsktsktsk mamasan --- here is my update from January 4th --- January 11th is coming next:

Dear beloved, dearest, exquisitely gangstah family,

G'day me mates and sheilas! This past week has had some major changes. Transfer week!

Monday- We went to Rosebud for P-Day and just hung out there all day. Elder Fa'amausili and myself went near the beach and also went out on this cool pier. Man, the surf was hard out when we went! It really windy as well. That night we had EIGHT missionaries in one little two story flat...it was pretty crazy. There was Elder Brooks, Fa'amausili, Barcarse, Orrego, Rolfe, Zhai, King, and myself.

Tuesday- We headed off to the mission office for transfer news. I've been transferred every transfer so far. As usual President Maxwell gives a couple talks and then....the news comes. Elder's Howard and Woodruff read off the transfer news. I was so excited to find out my new area.

"In the Epping area. Elder Uaisele will be serving as District Leader with Elder Fiaui."

Epping Area, Heidelberg Zone. That is my new area!

Elder Uaisele is so so funny! He's from Hastings, New Zealand. 20 years old. He's Tongan, but can speak Tongan, Samoan, and English. He's the man in people skills and good at finding...all the things I'm not. lol, so he'll help me with that and I'll help the flat with exact obedience. My strength.

Epping so far is pretty cool area. There's heaps of Poly's and when they feed us, man. They go hard out on the feeds! Taro, corn beef, rice, lamb, sapa suey, K-Fri (KFC)....fizzy (soda)! THE FRANKSTON FAMINE IS OVER! They feed us really well.

Wednesday- We went to go visit some Samoan families. The Va'asili's and then we went to Siaosi's. They both fed us a ton. nice families!

That night was pretty hard to sleep with it being New Year's Eve...thankfully the City's fireworks weren't to far and we were able to see them all the way from Epping! hahah, man it was poppin' over there in the City of Melbourne!

"In the city...city of Melbourne...keep it rockin....keep it rockin...." sung in California Love fashion

I encourage you guys to set goals. Use the acronym SMART. Make the goals specific, measurable, attainable, reachable, and timely. If you mess up one day that's okay! Evaluate and retry!

2014 is in the bag! 2015 here we go!

Thursday- I got to GQ for the first time on a tram. So I talked to a chinese man, David, and his little boy. I talked to them about how the Gosepl of Jesus Christ blesses families. Unfortunately we had to get off before we left our area, but I gave him my contact info before we got off. Later that day I was also able to tract into an Iraqi families house with Elder Uaisele. At first we were just talking to them at the door and then he opens the screen wide open and says "come. come in." And Elder Uaisele both looked at each other and were like...what the hell? IT'S A MIRACLE!:) He let us in! They gave us fruit juice and we taught his family of 2 kids and wife all together. It was an awesome experience. We taught them basic Christian doctrines and set a return appointment. It was funny at the end...I gave the prayer and because of their little english I soke simply so I was like "Our heavenly father...our god father---" Uaisele opened one eye during the prayer and we were trying so hard not to laugh! hahahah, I was praying like a Catholic!

Friday- We got to go to the city for DLC. Melbourne Central baby! Man. The city is ruthless! It's a crazy place. The church in the city is on the second story of an office building so it's just like a big office...plus they had a big ping pong table. It's a Chinese/Vietnamese branch. Go figure.

We have weights in Epping. Yay! Get big, get strong!

I was also doing family history and found out I have Su'a blood on my dad's side. And on my mom's went back to Great-great grandma Pouli.

But man when I'm out tracting and get rejected I just want to say. "YOUR'E GONNA READ THE BOOK OF MORMON AND YOUR GONNA LIKE!!" - Like Spongebob when he's talking to Gary.

Here is a visual of what I want to say when someone doesn't want to listen!

Some Fob bore his testimony and said "Jesus...is the Christ. And Joesph...is the Smith. Man I was crackin' up! hahaha!! 

I love you guys! Keep fighting the good fight!

Sincerely,

Elder Fiaui
