Letters from Kolonga

Elder Tulane certainly had a spiritually uplifting and enriching experience in Kolonga, filled with conferences, insights from the brethren, and even a temple trip!

He was the only missionary who watched General Conference in English:

In May, the missionaries had an area conference. Elder Tulane wrote on May 26:

We had an area conference a couple of Sundays ago. We got to watch a satellite broadcast with President Eyring, Elder Ballard, Elder Condie, and the new sister in the primary presidency. It was really good. The broadcast was for Tonga, Fiji, and Carabus and Elder Condie bore his testimony in all three languages. It was cool!

In June, Elder Tulane got to go to the temple. On June 2, he wrote:

My comp and I went to the temple with one of our wards to do baptisms for the dead and confirmations on Saturday. I got to read the names out loud so the guy doing the confirmations would know how to pronounce them. It was really fun. I also did a comp exchange with my zone leader yesterday. He works in Holonga where I was trained. It was cool going back and seeing my old members.

The work has definitely been going well for Elder Tulane. On June 26, Elder Tulane sent home some exciting news:

Hey, I got another baptism this week. I think that moves me up to 11 now.

At the end of June, Elder Tulane received another transfer. He's been moved to Vaini, right next to his first area in Holonga, where he's currently working hard.

WE LOVE YOU, ELDER TULANE!!!
