Week 9 - My Home Far From Home

Malo e lelei

Good morning everyone, this past week was pretty fun! Like always we do our walk around our village checking up on the members and other people. Our village is so small, though. It is just one road. It is kind of hard to not get bored, so we think of things to do while we are going throughout the day. The other day we went down to the beach and took pictures, that was super fun. The the other day we also helped burn a dead dog that our bishop found under a bunch of scrap metal. That was not much fun, but it was interesting so I decided to add it in the email. HAHAHA. It is just weird things like that that I vividly remember.
Two days ago we went to a baptism and that was super cool. My friend Elder McCall was able to baptize two people which was amazing. That same day we also got ice cream. Ice cream is kind of rare here so we were super stoked to get some. The ice cream is from New Zealand too, and they know how to make ice cream.

This week was not too eventful, but I am enjoying it so much here. The other day I had just come to realize that Tonga is very similar to Puerto Rico. The houses look the same, they have the same fruits, they have the same louver windows and green water tanks. The forests look the same as well. I'm starting to feel like Tonga is more like my home far from home.

I just want to remind you all that I love you so much and I want to leave you with my testimony

Oku ou ilo'i, koe siasi ko eni koe mo'oni siasi. oku ou ilo'i ko siosefa samita ko ha polofita mo'oni oe Otua pea Koe Tohi A Molomona koe folofola oe Otua. Oku ou Ilo'i na'a pekia a Sisu Kalaisi ma'a tautolu. Ihe huafa o Sisu Kalaisi, Emeni.

I know the church is true. I know Joseph Smith is a prophet of God, and I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know Jesus Christ died for us. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.


Ofa atu!
Elder Delgado
