My Dear Family,
This week has been pretty good. Tuesday Sister Varea was still supposed to be resting for her sickness so we deep cleaned our little house and studied the language. Wednesday we had appointments planned for the whole day but almost everything fell through because there was a funeral. I guess when someone dies here they have a funeral that day. They slaughter several pigs and the whole town stops what they are doing and goes. Jeffery is an investigator we have been working with. We set a definite baptismal date for him this Saturday and fasted with him yesterday. His wife is already a convert and I am so excited for their family. A little girl brought us a smashed dried up frog yesterday. There are frogs everywhere at night. They are so cute when they're alive. Sister LeFevre told me she has a mission blog that can be found  through her facebook Melanie Desmond LeFevre. (http://alanmelanielefevre.blogspot.com/)
The weather is always the same. It rains for awhile almost every day and stays between 75F and 85F. According to my companion the days don't get longer and shorter here. That might get a little boring. But, I am informed that the holidays still come even though the seasons don't change! Sister Varea said Figi weather is the same as here, along with the customs so she didn't have much adjusting to do.
With Love,
Sister Beutler
