July 28.2013 Back in Suva and walking 5 hours a day

Dear Mamma,

This week was good. I officially got permission from my mission president to learn Hindi, to study full on.. which will be good. We had a baptism this week and that was cool. His name is Kamenielli, Its crazy how important a ward is to missionary work. I could never be a great missionary if I didn't have great members behind me. I wish that every missionary could realize that... we are not just all that matters. The ward is the main cause for conversion.

The little boy is that is holding up a one finger in the picture is the funniest kid ever. His name is Peniasi, which is Benjamin. The girl right next to me is Dilo, and she is so adorable.She loves to dance, and it is so cute.

So I just got into this area (nasinu) and it was my first day. I am just clueless to whats going on and we go to this guys house and I'm thinking that the elders have previously taught him all of the lessons and given him a baptismal date but he hadn't even been taught the first lesson yet. He and I got along really well and I asked if he was excited to be baptized and he said that the elders haven't talked about it. So i asked him if he wanted to be baptized and he said yes.  He was baptized last weekend.He is such and awesome man and is going to serve a mission in a year.

Its really hard in this area to learn Hindi. I have no help here at all because I am in a straight fijian ward, but that just makes me want to try harder. We have three solid baptisms this next month.

The ward is so great here, this is the most christian country in the world, people aren't afraid to show their religion., The ward loves to help and there is a reason I am here... to get the ward to help out way more. This is the first ward I've been in on my mission. It is way nice. 

 This is by far my slowest area...So much walking... about five hours a day..

I love you momma, I will talk to you more some other day..

I love you so much. God bless you..

Til next week..

Suva July 2013

July 14,2013

Hello my Beautiful.

It has been another week gone by.

I hit a year in like 100 days.

Time is flying,

I'm in my new area right by Suva. I'ts the outskirts like the Herriman of Suva,

It's pretty dang ghetto. Its good because there are like eight people in the ward with cars, so that is nice.

I've realized how important a healthy strong ward is. I've been working really hard here.  I have done lots of walking and I haven't really had any problems with my feet. So thats good! Lots of Fijian here. I am the senior companion so that is pretty cool as well and I love it.

 My companion thinks he knows as much Fijian as me but he is constantly asking me meanings of words and how to say stuff. but he is a good guy we get along really well. He is funny too. You would like him. My new area is smothered in mud and it literally rains here everyday. 

I have never really cared about a ward before, but I have noticed how important the relief society is now. They are the key to conversion. Someone said that missionaries are the most important but I know the women in the wards are.

My companion's name Elder Grotepas. He is from Syracuse Utah. He is 19 and a good guy..

Here is a picture of us.

That's me on the right in case you forgot what i look like..

We have a way sweet flat..

We live in the sister's old flat.. They moved out because there were some problems and they got sent home.
 It's a way nice place and I am happy to be here.  There are tons of members and I am in a fijian ward.. WARD,WARD,, its so nice!!

I haven't met too many people yet.  I threw out the baptism question to a young man and he excepted before we even taught the first lesson, I didn't know where he was at but we clicked way fast, and he said yes.. so there will be a baptism on the 27th of this month.  He he is from a member family,, he is so strong fifth time going to church,, its great, he wants to serve a mission

 I spent 20 bucks today on mexican food, I just had to because it was incredible.. I miss good food so much..

There apparently is a lot of delicious food here, but it is definately not as good as yours, or the Terrys..

Love,

Elder Moulton
