Email to Everyone

August 4, 2017

OK hey everyone, I'm running a little behind today so I'm gonna do some general discourse and send like six photos.

My room is great and we all have a great time hanging out with each other at meals, class, and exercise, as well as in the room. Everybody is funny and it's just a really fun time. I hope you can see some videos of us being us.

P-Day (Preparation Day) in Room

MTC Companion, Elder Slack

The elders of our room: Elders Dierdan, Lauaupututau, Hatch, Slack, Brown, and English

I ran into Janae Ricks when she was on a tour of the MTC

My floor on the other hand can be pretty noisy (a lot of Polys acting Poly and serving Poly) but they're still great. We had an Elder leaving for HAWAII and we had a farewell Noqu Masu and HAKA (which everyone participated in and was awesome). I again hope to send some videos of that.

Noqu Masu, a Fijian song (Noqu = my, masu = prayer) pronounced "known goo moss ooo"

The food is good and yesterday we had Navajo tacos that skimped on the meat but the frybread was decent - Elder Slack always finishes before me and chocolate milk is fantastic.

So after the crazy first day and the exhausting/exhausted second day things are going well now. I can bear a decent testimony in Fijan ({Vosa} Vakaviti  [like Fiji]).  Bro. Banks was our first practice investigator, Tevita (David), and I learned a lot from teaching in only Fijian, like listening to the Spirit.

There's about 20 elders going Fiji and 4 Sisters.

I wonder if I'll see anymore elders going to Farmington - I've met some other Arizona (from and going) though.

Elder Hackett going Indonesia from Safford AZ 

and the In&Out shirt he gave me - what an amazing elder. 

We all miss him already. 

I hope I'll be able to tell more about the people specifically but for now things are awesome and I'm really gonna miss these guys when the time comes. 

Moce! (Mow-they - goodbye)

Elda Hatch
