Dear Family,
This week has been an adventure. Lots happened, I was sick until Wednesday, but on Tuesday I was so frustrated with being in the house that we left and went out to some of our investigators houses to make new appointments. On Friday while walking by the Noble of Longolongo's house the house caught on fire. It is probably one of the nicest houses here. They couldn't put it out with all the fire trucks in Tonga. It burnt the house next to it down as well. Some little kids lit it on fire! On Friday night there was a dance on the church property where we live. We couldn't sleep until 12:30. Also, Peanut was hit by a car. Broke his back right leg. Very sad. I taped it and put two spoons so the bone had some support.

Personal:
I have been feeling a lot better. I got bit by a Spider on my left leg on the vein so it swelled way up. The mosquitos still love me as well. I didn't do so great with exercising this last week because I was sick but will start new tomorrow. Apart from that I did get a little sick of the food this week. We didn't get like anything home made so it was a lot of bread and stuff bought from the store. I was a little disappointed this week with how I was sick so we set our goals high for the rest of the week. We were able to help a lot of people.

Companionship:
Things have been going well. We are both looking forward to Christmas and plan on cutting down a small coconut tree to put in our MQ. Weird fact, our MQ is built on an incline because the wind only blows in one direction here. Apart from that I will be here for a while so I'm trying to be as nice as I can even when things can be slightly frustrating.

The Work:
The work has been well. We do a lot of door approaches and one of our investigators is progressing very well, however, there's one drawback in that he makes his living growing and selling Marijuana. Nothing is really illegal here so there's not much fear with drugs. We have been trying to help him find a new job and it is progressing. We found a family that are big runners. I was very excited. They have a daughter who is 14 and is the fastest in Tonga. She will compete in the Pacific Games in 2019 and so I have started to help train her. We teach her, three siblings and their parents. All is going well.

That's all for now, I just want to again let you all know if you read the Book of Mormon daily you will gain a Testimony and know why I'm out here. Love you all.
