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..
Elder Moulton
