Mauri O!

Mauri!

Great week!!!  Life is awesome.  Elder Fifita went out to Nonouti to do an outer island trip.  I worked with Elder Guiles -- the West Zone Leader.  He is great.  It was fun to work with him.

Elder Fifita and I have been talking.  One thing that we have both noticed is that the world is black and white.  There is good -- which is from God -- and there is bad -- which is from Satan.  Satan likes to have us think that there is a lot of gray... But there is none.  As we look into the future, both of us will be returning home soon, we have realized that we don't want to do those things that Satan tries to disguise as good, but are really just bad.  Things that waste time are bad.  Things that draw us away from Christ are bad.  Things that focus our thoughts or efforts on anything other than what the Lord would have us do are bad. There are plenty of movies and music and activities that lead us down the broad path that leads to a not so pleasant place.  I hope not to become blinded by them upon returning.  That is all they are... blinds to our spiritual eyes and plugs to our spiritual ears.

Anywho... I need to step off of the soap box now.   I had a great week.  Life is great.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ has been restored to the earth.  We are lead by God's prophets and apostles.  The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the only true and living church on the earth.  God lives.  He loves us.  Christ lives and He loves us as well.  I know that in the year 1820 Joseph Smith saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ.  I know that the Gospel is real.  I know that the Restoration continues.  I love this work.  I love God.  I love you all!

Hope you all are having a spectacular week.  Keep pressing on! There is so much to be done.

It's a great day to be a missionary! 
Hurrah for Israel!
