The Labasa and Tukavesi districts are here and we're gonna qito at a nearby beach before we head back to the area in a few hours.
Sidenote: Savusavu is one of the more beautiful places I've seen on my mission. It's all lush, green valleys, mountains, and crystal blue waters on white sand. I'll try to catch some pictures for next week!
This last week was a bit of a slower one, nothing significant to report.

In fact, the last week was pretty particular to sour (growing) experiences. An unusually heavy amount of people chastised us for taking the message of Jesus Christ to people of Hindu and Muslim backgrounds and "forcing" their families to change their beliefs. I've been presented with many opportunities to share our true purpose with people, and though none were interested, I was at least able to reiterate to myself my purpose of being a missionary and the important work I have the opportunity to carry out.
It's the last week of the transfer. Nothing really worked out for the district companionships in their areas concerning the transfer goal. One companionship's baptismal candidate broke into the flat and stole all their money the week I was supposed to interview him, another's investigators have stopped showing interest completely and has been "busy" for the last four weeks, and the others' moved to a different area.
For us, Eta's court case has been moved and Shayal's residence has been moved. Shayal and her husband moved to a different area due to complications with the neighbors. They're still in our area boundaries, but given that a) she's pregnant, b) her husband isn't super supportive of her coming to church, and c) their financial situation is a bit sticky, their chances of coming to church have dropped considerably. However, we're working with them closely still and searching for more potentials for next transfer.
Despite nothing really working out as anticipated, however, Elder Tavake and I are still in high spirits and look forward to another transfer of success and growth.
That'll be all for this week, this coming week is gonna be a really interesting one!
I love you all heaps, safe travels dad! Have a great and blessed week, baut pyaar!
