First week of Total Fijian Happiness!!!

When we arrived in Nadi, Fiji, we had some troubles with some of our documents, so we had to wait a while in Immigrations.  

THIS WAS PLANNED BY HEAVENLY FATHER.  

It gave me opportunities to share the gospel, in the lines, with everyone, everywhere around us!  One person was also having troubles with their documents, and I got to talk to him and write my testimony in the front of a Book of Mormon; Another Testament of Jesus Christ, and give it to him.  Everything Heavenly Father does, is to lift, love, bless, exalt and help His beloved children. YOU MIGHT NOT REALIZE IT BUT, EVERY MOMENT YOU'RE IN, Heavenly Father has someone you can lift, love, and share light and joy with.  The whole world is prepared to receive this restored gospel--I'm convinced of this!  YOU are how it's going to get to them.  Burn bright!Seriously!! The world needs your light!  (emphasis on NEEDS ) Pray to be enabled, and He will enable you! 

Believe He will.

Because, I know and testify He can and will.

Trust Him fully, perfectly and completely.

You've got power! Use it!

It's His power; and He'll give it to you if you ask.

I dare you!  This work is fun!

JOIN ME! 

join Heavenly Father! Come roll up your sleeves and get some ridiculous eternal happiness!! 

You get happiness by sharing it! 

The restored gospel is where all of it is--so sharing the gospel is the way to get all of the happiness in existence by sharing it!!!!!

When we figured out our documents and were good to go, we just kept sharing the gospel!

We got on a bus that would take us to Suva (halfway around the island, on the other side of Viti Levu).

Fiji Buses are NOT like American buses!  They are PACKED.  There is no space wasted!  There's practically no isle at all down the middle of the bus, and there is constantly loud pop music playing.  There's no such thing as personal space.  I love it!!!

I was seated by a young adult hindi man.  We talked the entire bus ride!  I was blown away by Fiji's beauty and woooooooooooooooooooooooow it's a spectactle beyond what you'd believe! MAN! WOW! But, I wasn't taking any pictures or focusing on the beauty of Fiji, because that's not what I'm here to do.  I was consumed in taking to this guy, to bring him closer to his Savior, Jesus Christ.  I shared the Testimony of The Prophet Joseph Smith pamphlet, we went through almost all of it, and the Spirit was so strong testify of the truths that we discussed.  I learned so much from this man.  He has blessed me so much!  He's had such incredible experiences in his life.

EVERYBODY IS(HAS) AN INTERESTING STORY. 

their story is there to be heard! go hear it! you'll love it!!! EVery soul is beautiful and you can learn something from literally everyone you talk to!

Then, we had to get off that bus and transfer over to another line, in order to get to Suva.


On this next bus, I was seated by one Fijian woman who was too depressed to talk to me at all, and a Indian woman and her 7yr old daughter... neither of which spoke any Fijian or English.  I asked Heavenly Father to bless me to be able to share the gospel anyway--and just like I promised you and He promises all of us; He enabled me!  I got out a pad of paper and drew things about myself, like Unicycling while playing guitar and singing.  I got out the General Conference Ensign and showed them pictures from it.  I got out a stack of pictures of the Savior's life and ministry, and these things all uplifted them and brought them closer to Jesus Christ. I also pulled out my super-marked scriptures, and they were impossible to not look at--very colorful and written in.  And then for the Fijian woman, I got out my Fijian "True To The Faith" book and went to the topic, "Adversity," and read it aloud and next to her so she could see it if she chose to.

We had no food to eat or water to drink for so many hours while on our way to Suva, and I still had my suit coat on.  But, we were overpowered with happiness.  The gospel is food and water and airconditioning beyond anything the earth can provide for our physical bodies alone. 


I lost my bus ticket in a Book of Mormon I gave to someone on the bus.  But Heavenly Father blessed that book to not make it off the bus--so I could have my ticket.  Wow! Heavenly Father is literally on top of literally everything!  It's amazing to watch and participate in!  You can come participate in it too!  I invite you! He invites you!

We were picked up by missionaries waiting for us at the bus stop in Suva.  They drove us to the Temple grounds where the Mission Home is located.  I hugged my mission president, President Layton, right when I saw him! He and Sister Layton are incredible! I LOVE THEM SO MUCH !!!!  THIS IS THE BEST MISSION IN THE WORLD. 

We went to town and bought my first Sulu! (The Man-Skirt)

SO MUCH BETTER THAN PANTS!!!! I NEVER WANT TO SWITCH BACK!
