I apologize for not emailing on Monday, but we had a pretty eventful day. So the past week Elder Vaoga got bit by a bug or spider on his knee. At first he said it just itched and then got bigger and bigger, was red and it hurt to walk and bend it. This was about two days after he first noticed it. So we started to ask some members at church on Sunday what it could be. We also called sister Ames who called the mission doctor. He gave Elder Vaoga some advice what to do and if it didn't get better to go and see the doctor. We it didn't get better and we went into a clinic to check it out. Turns out that it is a bit but its not a brown recluse bit. they gave him two antidote shots and gave him medicine. Turns out he is also allergic to his meds haha its been a hard week for him. So that is why we weren't able to email yesterday.

But on a good note the week was great for us. We set to baptism date!!!! We set them with (Kristy) and with the guy that the sisters referred us to. His name is (Danny). Both of them are set for the 13th of December. That is the last Saturday of the transfer and Elder Vaoga wants one more before he leaves. The lesson with Danny was really cool because we got to reteach the Restoration with the sisters. We did that because its a pass off and so we knew how much Danny remembers from when the sisters taught him. At the end of the lesson I felt the prompting to ask him to follow Christ and be baptized. When I got done asking that he said that, that was the most loving thing anyone has done for him. I was in aww because at first I looked as it as an invitation and fulfilling my purpose as a missionary but Danny realized it as a life changer and how much God loves him. With him he has the desire to be baptized but he has to over some the word of wisdom in less then three weeks. We are short on time but he can defiantly do it!!

We also set a day with Kristy. She was a little hesitant at first because she was already baptized but she finally said yes. We have the best relationship with her and she trust us. With her we just need to teach the lessons and make sure she understands. She doesn't have any big things to overcome that we know of. We are so excited for the upcoming month!!

Have a great thanksgiving and have the Best Week Ever!! Love you!!
