Hey Everyone!

This week was pretty great! We had a lesson with a less active named George Wedlock on Tuesday. He has been a member his whole life pretty much and he is probably 24 or 25 right now. But he has been less active for quite a while now. We shared about the Plan of Salvation with him, only about the first 3 principles- Pre-Earth Life, The Creation, and The Fall of Adam and Eve. He is really smart, so he knew a lot of it already, so we pretty much planned on doing the whole thing. But we spent a good amount of time about families and God's plan for us, and I can tell you it was probably the most spiritual lessons I've had on my mission. The Spirit was so strong in that lesson and it was just amazing. We already had a pretty good day on Tuesday, then when we got out of that lesson, I was so happy! He told us that he would come to church on Sunday, so we offered to pick him up, because his house is on the way to the chapel, and he said yes. We came to his house Sunday morning, and he was sleeping. So he didn't come to church, we are planning on seeing him Tuesday again, but we might not because of transfers. I can't wait to sit down with him again though. I really feel that he will become active again soon.
We have another less active we are working with, Nancy. she is awesome. She wants to come back to church really badly! We sat down with her on Friday and we asked her to end the lesson with a prayer, but she is kind of shy about things like that because she lived with her mom and Step dad for 5 years and her step dad is muslim, so she had to do all the muslim stuff. and its been a while since she's prayed or shared her testimony or anything like that. But at the end of the lesson, she said she will share a scripture from the Book of Mormon, her testimony and pray the next lesson we see her! We are planning on seeing her tonight, so hopefully that works out!!
One more thing, my companion is getting transferred to be a Zone Leader in Nausori(close to Suva) so I'm getting a new companion. I'm pretty excited. I'll be training him, so that will be a new experience. Leading an area and training. Looking forward to it! Sad to see Elder Hancock go, he is the man! But Oh well, The Lord needs him in Nausori.
Thanks for everything!
Love you all!
