New area and new comp

Well after the transfer dust had settled I found myself back in Hon-West zone (where I was before

Bro Malaki, dads family living in our area.

Laie), but this time I am in the Moanalua 2nd Samoan Ward. So I'm back in town. Our apartment is in Salt Lake, but our area covers three zones (Hon-west, Honolulu, and Kaneohe). I have rejoined one of my old companions that I was with for only a week, Elder Talatau. He is from West Jordan, and he knows the whole Matua gang over there. I also found out that the elder who I trained, Elder Seremai, is training another elder from West Jordan, Elder Swenson. He said that he lives across from Aunty Annette and them.

It is nice to be back in a busy town with lots of work. Very fast paced compared to Laie. I have met pretty much all the investigators in the area and had some interesting experiences. We are teaching a good number of people and trying our best to get the ward involved.

We had a good mission tour fireside last night with Elder Johnson of the seventy. We got on the same page with our ward leaders and learned about why we do what we do; how full-time missionaries and teachers and members are full-time finders. Elder Johnson talked about never disregarding any name that comes to your mind. When a name comes or someone pops into your mind, you need to act.

Stay tuned for many new experiences in this wonderful new area. I have also been able to catch up with some of my old friends from the Lanakila ward, which is in the same Stake.

Stay warm my Utah friends! haha

Love,
Elder Matua
