Hello everyone!
I hope everyone is doing well! This week, i got a new companion!! Her name is Sister Natto and she is from PNG (papa new Guinea). We are still in Santo, covering the Pepsi area. I LOVE sister Natto!! She is so wonderful! We have already taught wonderful lessons filled with the spirit! We have also shared many laughs :) Sister Natto is a FABULOUS cook!! She makes delicious meals and wonderful cake i hear. I havent had the opportunity to taste the cake yet. We did make those brownies you sent in the MTC mom, and they were so good! Natto cooked them on the stove top. She put paper in a pot, buttered the paper, and then poured in the brownie batter. They tasted like chocolate melting cake from the cruise! So good :) Thanks for sending those mom! 
Haha one funny story from this week. Sister Natto and i were up one night just talking in the kitchen. She was making something and i was just sitting at the table. Out of the corner of my eye, i see something big fly in the open door. I look up, and there is a huge cockroach just chilling there on the floor across from me!! Natto was just walking over and the cockroach starts climbing on her backpack! We both scream! I just up and move away. She asks if we have any bug spray, but i say no. So she grabs the broom in hopes of squishing it on the wall (it started climbing up the wall, fast). Next minute, it starts to fly again!! I was freaking out! It flies up and goes right into the ceiling fan!! It shoots out just in front of sister Natto! We go over and inspect the situation. The fan had cut the roach's head off!! The body was on the floor, still moving mind you, and the head was on the table also still moving. It was nasty.. Haha. But we were so grateful for the fan! Heavenly Father was looking out for us :) 
Now on a more of a spiritual note. This last Sunday, we taught a few investigators, one being a papa. His name is Cydeaque. I have only taught him a few times but he is a wonderful papa! He is so ready to be baptized! We are going to try for this Saturday so we hope to get all the commandment lessons in before then. During the lesson, i felt the spirit so strongly with him. He told us how he wants us to pray for him to increase faith. He says sometimes it is hard for him to come to church, and he feels that he needs more faith to help him with that. I feel that he has so much faith, and such a strong desire to follow Christ. But we are praying for him! I feel so much love towards all our investigators and everyone here in general! :) 
I am so grateful that the Lord has called me here to serve. I am striving each day to fulfill my purpose here as a missionary. I thank you all so much for your prayers and all your words of encouragement. I would not be able to continue this mission without the support of all of you back home. I love you all so much!! I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Remember all the blessings that our loving Heavenly Father has given you. His hand is in everything. Have a wonderful week! 
I love and miss you all dearly! Until next week--
