We had a great week. Our tri-panionship is going well, we are getting used to working together and this is going to be a fun last transfer. We had a wedding yesterday for some investigators. It was real nice and simple. We met a woman who had thirteen babies inside of her. She said it was Satan's doings.

Love you all,

Sister Beutler

Hey,

Sister Fatongia left on Thursday and now I am in a three-some for my last transfer. It has been a bit of a challenge trying to combine the Sapwalap and Mesihsou areas and plan splits with only one car. There are so many people to teach in both areas. We are hoping that a sister gets sent to us soon. We heard there are a couple in the Phillipines waiting for their visa. Things are going well though. it is pretty tight squeezing three sisters into our little house. we have to stack our mattresses every morning to we have room to walk and study. I'm still just loving my mission. I have a lot of work to do before the end. We had a baptism on Saturday for Silo. His wife was so excited. He was the one that was supposed to be our Christmas baptism. he made it this time.

Love y'all,

Sister Beutler

Sister Beutler did not have time to write this week, but sent a note to her mother that she is fine.

What a week filled with blessings. Since the new year everyone has settled down a bit with the parties and all and they are starting to get a lot more serious about living a better life this year than last. What better way to do that than to be baptized! There are two teenage boys (Kavika and Denero) from separate families that have been coming to church all on their own due to wonderful friends who invited them. Both of them wanted to be baptized but didn't have permission from their parents. We were able to meet with all the parents this week and they gave their approval. Yay! They will both be such strong additions to the branch and they have both shared their desires to serve missions. Denero's older sister (Lisa) is also preparing for baptism. She just needs to get married. Her husband is being a bit of a pill about that but he is a member from a good member family so I believe it will happen soon.

I received my two Christmas packages last Monday! They were so wonderful. Thank you all for thinking of me. The other sisters would all like to give their thanks as they made sure to partake of all the goodies. Jared, Sister Fatongia was thrilled to receive her honey. The best part of all was when Sister Komra opened her presents. She loves her scriptures so much she kisses them every time she picks them up. I sent a picture of her big smile while she read Deborah's letter. I was able to go on an exchange with her last week and it is amazing how much she has grown in just two transfers. One of the funnest parts of missionary work is seeing how much your fellow missionaries grow and progress. 

Love you all very much,

Sister Beutler
