Happy Days

Dear Friends and Family,

I am so glad for Elder Christopher Han to be on a mission now.  It is pretty insane that we are both serving the Lord at the same time.

I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity I have every week to email. 

This week has been quite eventful, we are really trying hard to accomplish our goals for this month, and in doing so, our efforts has been showing.  We have this one investigator who came to church, and she is amazing.  Her testimony is amazing!

On a funny note, we now have a SPANISH investigator from MEXICO.  It reminded me of E. Han and how he is in mexico right now studying spanish.

We were able to go to a lot of places this week, and accomplish so much ground work.  On the mission it is a blessing to not have time to go finding.  (contacting on the streets and tracting)  We have had a lot of appointments now, that we have little time to actually find new people to teach.  

Here are some pictures of our life in Australia.

I am grateful for everyone and I am so happy!!!!  :)

Islander Feeds

Hello Family and Friends,

This week has been hectic! :) In a good way.  

I am super happy to tell you a wonderful story that happened to us!

We had a lot of meetings, and our whole zone: 20 missionaries+ were invited to lunch at a member's house.  These members were tongan, and the culture is to have a massive feed.  For islanders, it is customary to feed the missionaries until they explode, because they feel (I agree as well) that they receive more blessings the more missionaries eat.  ( I totally agree with that ) So we went up there, and the first thing you smell is pork.  Heaps of it.  I mean 3 whole pigs!  This type of food is called hungi.  Not the 3 pigs, but they have like an oven in their backyard where they cook food under the ground.  It is sooooo good!  Anyways, one saying that tongans say to us missionaries is this:  Kai Ke Mate (Eat 'til you die).  Because it is essential that we feel fat afterwards.  I love the islander culture, and it might explain the growth of my belly over the past year.  :)  

I am so excited to be on a mission.  A lot of things are happening!  Our mission has really exemplified themselves, and we are really climbing.  We are showing that a lot of things can happen if you have the faith and desire to accomplish it.

I love you so much

Elder Han

P.S. Here are the pigs that we ate.  I had maybe about 1/5 of the pig and more food.

Shout out to James on his 16th Birthday, as well as Chris leaving for his mission on wednesday!  :)
