Nothing is mine and everything is mine...

We had a huge breakthrough...the son and wife of the family I told you 
about last week came to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was seriously a miracle!!!!!!!! 
and i made sure to tell everyone to go tell them hello and fellowship 
the heart out of them...

When I transfer next week, I found out that i will be companions with sister 
lavulavu (the tongan who trained me) because Tarie got her visa to go and 
work in Australia. 

The thought for this week is about the people:

One of the beauties of the islands is the people's abilities to share.
Share, share, share. Nothing is mine, and everything is mine here on
the islands. I remember specifically one day we headed out with two
pieces of beef jerky..we made it literally two steps out of our house,
and someone said, hey, what's your food? so my companion gave the
person both pieces of jerky...we kept walking and saw a ward member 
we knew. My companion asked her, hey, what's your food? and she gave 
us her noodles. You'd love that part of the island here - it's this big
"give and take" kinda feel. and it was shown again yesterday, we were
talking our less actives to a relief society activity and we stopped
at our house to grab some food. we grabbed a little box of cereal for
her son and as we were walking two little kids joined us..the mom told
her son, "share your food with your brother!" surprized i asked if
those kids were her relitives..she looked at me, shrugged, and said
no. But i just like them and their attitude. Those islanders..the one big 
family kinda feel.

Sure love our family, and the farmington fifth ward. i gotta run, but i'll email 
you all from FIJI next week!
love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!little liz
