Hey Everyone!
Thanks for the email!
We had a crazy week. First, we had zone p day, so we weren't in our area Monday and Tuesday. Tuesday was our Zone Training Meeting. Also got a call from President telling us that Brother Vuli(the ward missionary I was working with) is getting transferred to Tavua(My last area). We were both pretty sad, I really loved working with him, we had a lot of fun together. And we worked way hard. Then on Thursday, we were driving to an appointment and we got into a accident with a horse... Yeah, a horse. We were going about 35km/h(20ish mph) and a guy was chasing a horse to go back to his land. Well, the horse was getting wild and started running. and it was running at an angle that I wasn't able to see her.

This is kind of what it was like. The horse came from a field on the left running almost parallel with us until it came to the driveway  then tried to cross the road. So there wasn't much I could do. I slowed down as much as I could, but it hit the left headlight and quarter panel. put some good dents in the truck. We were both okay, just the truck took a beating, about $2500 worth.
Then on Friday, we had to go to Nadi to get my new companion(Elder van der Linden, from Australia) and then had to wait about an hour and a half to get a quote for the truck.
But we are planning on having a couple of baptisms on Sunday this week! Looking forward to that! Still doing well!
Thanks for everything!
