Mafia with the Gang

Malo Soifua!!!

Today on the Elder Hill Show:

 ** Missed our baptism goal as a mission, but we still hit some crazy goals and I'm so excited for May

 ** We have some super cool people teaching, and I would absolutely love if y'all could keep them in your prayers (Darryl & Danielle)

 ** Played Mafia and ate pizza as a district, and it was a lot of fun

Our final total for baptisms as a mission in the month of April was 106. Our goal was 140, so for all you math whizzes out there, we...... didn't hit our goal. It was a tough month as far as baptisms have gone, but we still saw a lot of miracles. Our finding has been around 3400 a week and church attendance has been about 500+ a week. We've been seeing so many miracles, and it's been incredible to experience all the blessings God has given us in this area.

We have two friends that are progressing towards baptism right now. Our friend Darryl has been taught a lot, and he's working on keeping some of the big commandments. He's made progress, and he wants to have the blessings of baptism for him and his family. Please pray for him that he can come to church and keep the commandments he needs to in order to have the Holy Ghost. 

Our other friend is Danielle. She's super sweet, and she's preparing for baptism on May 21st. She came to church last week and absolutely loved it. She met some members and is excited to come again. We haven't taught her much, so that's the biggest thing we have to cover. Please pray for her that she can keep coming to church and will keep all the commitments we give her.

Today for pday we had a zone pday with basketball, soccer, Mafia, and pizza. We all got tired and sweaty haha, but we had a ton of fun. It was kinda rainy outside, so we just stayed in the gym at our church.

Mafaufauga faaleagaga: I don't really have anything specific that comes to mind haha. How about instead of me sharing something, all of you who read this reply to this email and share something you love from the scriptures (make sure not to hit reply all lol)
