This week has been interesting to say the least. I definitely hope I never have a week like this again for the rest of the mission. I've learned a lot about our mission as a whole, and about how things run.
I've wondered my entire mission why things as a whole aren't where our goals are. We've had months where we pushed so hard for every companionship to baptize and our entire mission fasted for it. We had more baptisms then this mission has ever had since president Brough has been here. It's never felt like it was where we should be though. I think I finally found the reason why or at least something that is attributing to us not reaching our potential as a mission. The biggest thing that I've found out this week is it's just basically the hunger games out here. It's basically every companionship for themselves. I guess in order to change something you need to first find the problem so that's good we found it haha. So that's been really disappointing for me, but it's all just a learning experience.
I guess I should put something nice in this so the biggest blessing has been working with elder Lamoreaux, elder Haws, and elder Muir. I'm learning so much from each of them in different ways. I love working with them and it's been a blast. They really make the work worth it.
One really cool things from this week, is doctor Barrett who has been my doctor since the womb his family lives out here. And this week we met them! What a small world it was crazy! We started to teach his nephew who is my age and he is doing so good. It was so cool.
I hope everyone has a great week! Love you all! Thank you for all of the love and support. It really carries me through, so it means the world to me.
Much love,
Elder Taeoalii
