SEPT-OCT-NOV

SEPTEMBER

Lala & Jas left to the Philippines MTC this month! I was way sad about this! I think it was more towards the fact that I'd have no one to be on the buzz with about going on a mission! Oh and of course happy 5th spiritual-heaven birthday nena...... Not a day goes by where I don't miss you or I'm not thinking of you. It's crazy that it's been like that for five years!!! She's my best fraaaand.. On another note .... TIMI FO'I FETI hahaha

OCTOBER

nothing but a birthday this month!!

My brother's 15th birthday. Too bad it was on a Sunday... Are you kidding me?! A holy birthday?! The besssssst! I remember mum and dad was on bad terms after a stupid argument..... The moment we sang happy bday to Nio I started crying. 1. I love him. 2. I was upset that my parents didn't make this day better for him all because they weren't really talking to each other. But let's leave it there. And just say now ..... The home is back to normal. Love At Home.

NOVEMBER

another bday month and HOPEFULLY a going-to-Provo-MTC month! 

Firrrrsssst kick it off with a HAPPY BDAY LUPE. my baby sus bag. Jokes. My baby sister! She turned 6! Crazy we had dinner with dad and his two counsellors nusi, and manu and their families. (CRAZY FACT: nusi' wife is also named lupe.... And her birthday was ALSO on the same day as my sister's!... Wicked cool!) and My uncle came, and Lupes namesake. And the missionaries! Elder finau and elder Niu'unga. These guys are dope assssss! Yet to have a photo with them though. The Sunday coming ..... Dad was released. Woah what happened there?! He was released from Bishop :) six years of service and learning and growing ...... Oh wait still gotta do those anyway lol. It was great. It's been great. And we look forward as a family to creating more great memories. Our new bishop is nusi! He is THE man. Straight up! I'm supposed to be leaving to Provo this month but I STILL don't have my visa and other documents. WAAAAAAAAY too depressed on this. I just wanna GERARAAAA HEAAAA YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYING?!?!

Anyway.... Here's a photo of me elder fisiitalia and elder finau. When elder fisiitalia came to the ward he was super shy he wouldn't say hi he wouldn't look at me, not just me but anyone else in the ward. This was so new to me cos Usually every missionary is "out there"! I thought to myself maybe he was just like me when I was little.... Someone needs to start the convo for me to get comfortable. So I did just that, starting with the little things.... Every time I saw him I would say hi! I would shake his hand. I would say bye if I saw him leaving. Weeks later I thought it was useless. I saw no improvement UNTIL ..... That's right, until one day I didn't see him but he happened to see me and say bye to me! And then he asked me how I was!!!!! OMG That was so cool! He never smiles and then when I took this photo ..... Walaaaaaa a handsome smile! Haha he became my favourite missionary reasons that people will never know lie behind that fact. (It's nothing secretive) it's just ..... Pointless to explain on here lol oh how I miss Fisi! Finau? He'll get a blog entry in due time :) I love missionaries and missionary work.! A quote I once heard from my cousin, "missionary work is like the bloodline of the gospel. If that bloodline is not flowing the church will stop growing"
