Leai Se Tagata Atoatoa (No One Is Perfect)

 Translation below:

Tama ma tina, uso e ma tuagane, talofa! Malo lava le soifua maua ma le lagi e mama i lenei itula o le aso! O a mai isi tatou aiga nei? E manuia lava la'u lua vaiaso ua te'a. Faamagalo mai mo la'u imeli tuai. Ou te fia faasoa atu ia te outou o'u aafiaga e sili mai le taimi sa ou galo e faasoa atu ai.

I le taimi ua te'a, sa matou te faia le siitaga ma sa ou maua ai o se soa fou. O la'u soa fou o Sister Wilson. O lana galuega e sau mai Las Vegas, o le nuu o agasala.  Sa ou feiloai ai o ia i le amataga o lo'u misiona i Upolu. Ou te fiafia ia te ia. Sa siitia Sister Auapaau i Savaii ae ou te nofo pea i lenei eria o Aoloau. O le uiga o le title o lenei imeli o le fuaiupu na fai mai o ia i tele taimi. O Sister Loulanting ma Elder Roebeck sa siitia fo'i i Upolu. Ou te misia ia te i latou. 

Ma te iai le avanoa ina ia faia o se afiafi faaleaiga ma auaunaga mo le aiga o Laina. O le aiga o Laina o uo o Sisters Mapusaga: Sister Moea'i ma Sister Milo Saitu. Mo le auaunaga, sa fesoasoani matou itu (Sisters Leone: Sister Moeaki ma Sister Akanoa; Elders Amanave: Elder Lemalu ma Elder Lomat) ma taitai sone (Elder Boyce ma Elder Lolotai) ia te i latou e tapenapena ma la maota fou. 

Sa matou te faia o se konafesi sone fo'i. Sa manaia le konafesi, sole. Sa ou a'oa'o mai le taua o tatou faalemafaufau  ma faalelagona  i tatou olaga. Pe a uma le konafesi i le vaiaso e tusa, sa matou te iai le avanoa e o atu i le Farewell o le atalii o le peresitene o le misiona, President Reid, i lana maota. O le valaauga o lona atalii o South Carolina i le gagana o Spanish. E lelei tele o ia. Sa tagi o ia (ma a'u fo'i) a o matou te usu ni pese Samoa ia te ia.

I le taimi nei, o Sister Wilson ma a'u sa a'oa'o atu ia Will, Diploma, ma Laei. E fai malie Will ma Diploma, ae e mā Laei. O latou te iai o date mo latou papatisoga i le vaiaso fou. Ou te alofa tele ia te i latou ma latou te iai le manana'o malolosi ai e fai latou papatisoga. 

Ia faafetai mo tou taimi ma tou alolofa ia te a'u ma faafetai atu i le Atua mo mea uma lava. Faafetai fo'i i le Atua mo le avanoa ina ia mafai ona ou auauna atu ia te Ia ma ia tagata uma lava i lenei misiona ae sili le meaalofa o Lona Atalii, Iesu Keriso. Ou te fia faasoa o se mau mai le Feagaiga Fou i le Tusi Paia i Korinito muamua mataupu tolu fuaiupu sefulutasi. Ou te valaaulia ia te outou e faitau fuaiupu lena. O Iesu Keriso o le uiga sa ou alu i le misiona. O lo'u Faaola Pele o lo'u faavae i lenei olaga ma le olaga e faavavau. Ou te iloa e alofa tele Iesu ia te outou ma o le a fesoasoani ma faamafanafana atu ia te outou i soo se mea e ala i Lana Togiola i tou olaga a o tou mulimuli ia te Ia. Ou te iloa e moni nei mea, i le suafa o Iesu Keriso, amene. 

Arohanui & Alofa atu ♡

Father and mother, brothers and sisters, hello! We are blessed with good health and clear skies at this hour of the day! How are the rest of our families? I have been doing well for the past two weeks. Forgive me for my late email. I would like to share with you my best experiences from a time I forgot to share.

Recently, we had transfers and I got a new companion. My new companion is Sister Wilson. Her work comes from Las Vegas, the land of sin.  I met her at the beginning of my mission in Upolu. I like her. Sister Auapaau was transferred to Savaii but I still live in this area of Aoloau. The title of this email means the sentence she said many times. Sister Loulanting and Elder Roebeck were also transferred to Upolu. I miss them. 

We had the opportunity to hold a family home evening and service for Laina's family. Laina's family is friends of Sisters Mapusaga: Sister Moea'i and Sister Milo Saitu. For the service, our district (Sisters Leone: Sister Moeaki and Sister Akanoa; Elders Amanave: Elder Lemalu and Elder Lomat) and zone leaders (Elder Boyce and Elder Lolotai) helped them prepare for their new home. 

We also had a zone conference. The conference was great, really. I learned the importance of our mental  and emotional  in our lives. After the conference about a week later, we had the opportunity to go to the Farewell of the son of the mission president, President Reid, at his home. His son's call was from South Carolina in Spanish. He was very good. He cried (and I did too) as we sang some Samoan songs to him.

Meanwhile, Sister Wilson and I have been teaching Will, Diploma, and Laei. Will and Diploma are doing well, but Laei is shy. They have baptism dates next week. I love them so much and they have a strong desire to be baptized. 

Thank you for your time and love for me and thank God for everything. Thank God for the opportunity to serve Him and all people in this mission and especially for the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ. I would like to share a scripture from the New Testament in the Bible in 1 Corinthians chapter three verse eleven. I invite you to read that verse. Jesus Christ is the meaning of my mission. My Beloved Savior is my foundation in this life and in eternity. I know that Jesus loves you very much and will help and comfort you in everything through His Atonement in your life as you follow Him. I know these things are true, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Love & Affection ♡
