random fb messenger texts and pictures from Sister Berrett, part 2

Sister Berrett's side of the conversation is italicized, mine is normal.

Mom, Sister Graham hit me with the car

What???

I mean, technically I ran into the car, but I decided it's her fault.  I'm fine I promise.

Ok, Nick....

So basically I was backing like one does
And then she just looked at me and kept driving and was like "Get in",
so there I was, 
I opened the door about to jump in and it turns out she was joking and was planning on stopping and so she slammed on her brakes when she saw the look in my eye that I was about to dive and so long story short I didn't know she was going to stop so I start running and then she slams on the brakes and I body slam and ricochet off the car.
It was a party.

Doesn't she know you???

Yes she does, thats why she's like "oh no"
Anyway, I think I bruised my rib.
But I don't think it's broken.
So we just aren't going to tell President.

Sister Graham painted my uke.



There is this tradition here were all the missionaries make this journal page for each other full of pictures and like notes and other crap.  Usually people spend like at least 2 hours on each and you see I was like so instead of confessing your love to me can you just paint my uke and she's like sure.

~~~~~~~~

Like literally the best thing ever just happened while we were texting.
Like Right Now.
So this random lady in the Tongan ward was like "Hello sista me I am sista Tui'vi I have friend for you to baptized she is waiting can you teach tomorrow?"
And we were like, "Let me check my schedule, UM YES."

Fleas, tears, and lice oh my!


That is correct you did read that... I love the islands they are the closest thing to paradise in my opinion, other than Netflix and tacos, but man if we get fleas or lice one more time I'm gonna start a petition to have them all burned. (The fleas not the islands.) But wow its been an interesting couple weeks sorry I might just need to summarize and make this a shorter email sorry mom. But wow where do I start?

 So basically all our good ol' pals we've been teaching her have dropped us but we love them anyway and we know that there are other people out there waiting to hear the gospel. But that was kinda the theme of the story. What else happened... Wow I should really keep a journal. 

Oh ya so fun story our dear president, president Erekson announced the finding fast... I really hope I talked about that in my last email because I don't really want to take the time to write it all out but basically the whole mission cancelled all our appointments and fasted all day and did nothing but try to find new people. It was rad. It's cool how much Heavenly Father really is just waiting to bless us when we turn to Him. Cause wow did he bless us the first couple hours were slow nothing happened just alot of slammed doors, or people looking through the window, and then not answering, and then we decided to pray and ask what to do differently, and I'm not really sure what happened differently but it was so cool, time just flew by and we got one new person and four less active families and three part member families to start working with. But ya that's about the gist. 

Maia and Amanaki are getting baptized this week and we had to flea bomb our house for the billionth time but other then that not anything out of the ordinary. Sorry this email was kind of short as. 



But next week just you wait it's gonna be a party. Kia kaha- sister berrett
