Yandra Vinaka.. 1st letter from Fiji!!!
Yandra Vinaka
I've been in Fiji for like five days and its blowing my mind still on how beautiful everything is..
I"ve fallen in love with being on a mission.. well less on being on a mission and more on loving the people. They are so amazing.
I currently reside in a place called Siga Toka (sing uh toe Kuh). It is so beautiful. There are so many pretty things here.. I havent seen it yet but if you go to the beach at sunset you will see wild horses running on the beach. I guess it is so amazing.. It seriously is so pretty here. I'm honestly so happy here. I've seen the wild horses next to the road but not on the beach yet . I'll let you know..
I thought I was pretty hot and awesome at the Mtc because I was pretty good at the language but when I got here I realized that I barely knew anything.. I am honestly so happy being here..
I went to the temple here. It is way great and you go barefoot inside. It's awesome. Ahah! I'm seriously home..
My new companion is named Elder Heath. He is a good guy. I like him. He is from centerville.
Church is so weird here.. It's above a cafe or something and the president of the branch just teaches straight from the ensign. It's hilarious! At the end of everyhour there is a man that walks around and yells to let you know that class is over.
My favorite part so far is that we were walking and started talking to this lady. She had a daughter with a big bandage on her head. The difference between me and my comp is that he just talks to the parents and I focus on everyone.. So, this lady invited us to go to her house and teach her. The little girl is seriously the cutest girl in the world maybe four or five.. Her name is rapi (Raw pee) and she just smiled at me the whole time. I was trying to talk to her and she would just whisper in my ear the answers everytime. When we were leaving Mary and Rapi walked us half way but to our flat. Rapi gave me a flower. It was so cute! I wanted to start crying right then. I realized Fijians love people so easily and I'm so lucky to be here.
Oh Yeah The Food sucks.. Exept for the fish..
Ill send pictures next week..
Love, Elda MOLITONI

Last day in the MTC
Dear Family,
I Feel like I am being released from prison.. but they are not letting me go home they are making me go to some deserted island with no food or water..I am honestly a little scared of surviving in Fiji.. but I know they will treat me so well. They will treat me how I treat them..
The Spirit is so strong here, Almost a little to strong.. I think Im dying.. How cool would it be if I got the whole family translated into heaven..??
I leave the GREAT United States tomorrow and I gotta say I'm going to miss it.. I'm going to miss the rolling hills, The Rocky Mountains the beautiful exterior of the Salt Lake valley,that gasp of breath I take when I wake up in my amazingly, comfortable bed at home. Coming home and saying goodnight to my Beautiful Mother then leaving five minutes later.The partially blue sky that looks like snoop doggs bus has just driven past.. I love "a" Merica, The home of the free and the land of the needy..Love you,Elder Moulton

So heres the Scoop!!
This week wasnt that bad.. I'm district leader now but I take the strict out of district. We have all been here as long as each other so I'm not bossing anyone around. They know as much as I do and its not my place to be better than anyone.
This week I was way sick and was in my room for three days. Last night my companion got sick. One elder in our district blew out his ankle and the other is having surgery today.
The language is coming but I've been in the bible way more. I've made a goal to finish the book of mormon by the end of next week. I read 65 pages of the book last night in like four hours.. so not fast. I've realized that I almost have to be more familiar with the bible then the B.O.M because everyone believes in the bible in Fiji. It's cool if you baptized the father of the familybecause the rest of the family will be baptised as well.
I'm so stoked on the whole idea of me living on a small island. They make so much fish but they smother the fish in coconut milk and I guess it tastes so good. They also make way good tea that I can drink.
They are very respectful. They have grown up on, if someone has something to say then they sit and listen until they are finished and then they will talk after. That might be a bad thing because you want them to participate as much as possible so you can know that they are understanding.
We have to teach the Fijians like we are teaching in primary so that will be a piece of cake. I can already do that. I'm so pumped.

Dear Family,
I'm
The New District leader as of sunday..
Im
loving it here but I cant wait to leave. I have been here for 50 Days now.. I can't
remember the world outside of the compound.
I
feel bad for the mayans are they okay?
Christmas devotional was okay and new
years kind of sucked too, exept I drank a redbull at midnight.. Im so
rebellious
Tell
Tiny Tim I wont be home for christmas and tell Scott to let the dogs out.
I'm
glad you had a good old party at the Moultons new large and spacious home.
Let's
see.. most Fijians know english but it is insulting to speak to them in
english.
I've
never been so excited to go, it will be the best adventure of my life. I found
out yesterday that I don't wear those white pants for baptism.. they will give me
a white sulu. yeehah
The
Swine flu is going aroung the Mtc.. A ton of people are wearing masks around..
it scares the crap out of me.
It
looks amazing there (Fiji).. The Cars to get around in are called Toyata Hylux's. They
look like tacomas but they do better off-road..
I
can teach a bunch of different lessons but I dont think I can do in
English.. There is no knocking on doors in Fiji because it is disrespectful or... they
just dont have any doors.
There
are missions that open and close all the time in Fiji. I could possible go to
a place that where no missionary has gone to before.
The
language is like a cave man language... "return to him the god"... "Want to hear you the
god"..
I'm just
starting to figure out the way they say things and it blows my mind how fast
they talk. It will be a miracle if I get it down.
Happy
the holiday week is over.. It made me way home sick..
But
Iwill write more maybe today..
Au
lomani Iko (I love you)
thanks for stopping by.. Elder Molitoni
