Funny: In Custer South Dakota right now since its politics season there are people who go knocking on doors to share their political opinions. So, the other day while we were doing scripture study some political people came a'knockin at our door. When we opened the door, I said "Hi we are missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, usually we are the ones knocking, but now that we have you here can we share a message with you about Jesus Christ?" They politely declined, but it was nice having people knock on our door for a change 😄

Spiritual: This Sunday was our regional stakes conference. So it was a broadcast for the whole region. Jeffrey R Holland was one of the speakers. They spoke a lot about the importance of "gathering Israel" or in other words sharing Christ's message with the world. I have felt of the importance of sharing the gospel with others. I have seen it change lives including my own. I will share the good news of the gospel for the rest of my days.

Where I'm at: My new companion Sister Eliesa is amazing!!! I love her so much. We were in the MTC at the same time, and came to North Dakota together. It's a good sign when you're only a few days into the companionship and you already have matching sweaters and do each other’s hair. I can only assume the same goes for elders. Custer is amazing too! We covered Custer as part of our last area, but now that we can devote almost all our time to this town 1000 people big. The work is great here! The Lord definitely leads us towards people who are prepared. Right now, we got permission to teach someone outside of our area who speaks Tongan. It is SO cool to watch Sister Eliesa teach in her native language. She has been teaching me a bit of Tongan! I hope I get to visit her in Tonga after the mission.
