At the beginning of November, Elder Tulane was transferred to the middle of down town Nuku'Alofa. He's currently serving with Elder Paipa from Texas.

Things are going great down here. For the first time I wish I had more time left. I couldn't have asked for a better companion to finish my mission with. On Tuesday we had a mission conference and President Callister from the area presidency came. We had to practice getting the head of the household to pray. All the missionaries practiced on one of the zone leaders or APs, but since Paipa and I can both speak English, President Callister asked if we would practice with him. He said we did a perfect job and didn't think we needed any correction. It was awesome! For p-day we did a service project. We have some investigators that own a restaurant and we went and were waiters there all day long. It was really fun. This family is awesome. One of the sisters is married to a noble so it would be huge if we could baptize her. Well, I hope you have a good week.

Hey its been another great week. We had a baptism on Tuesday. We also got permission to go to a village on the other end of the island to teach Paipa's grandpa who is not a member. He said wants to get baptized but will only listen to Paipa so they said we could go. we aren't done teaching him yet but so far its going really well and we have a couple of other people ready to be baptized, too. Well have a good week. I cant wait to see you. Love ya.

We are friends with a palangi guy and he made us Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday because he leaves the country tomorrow so we don't have time tonight. Things are still good. We won't baptize Paipa's grandpa but he has three cousins that want to, so that's cool. Today was the first elections in Tongan history. From now on, people vote for office rather than the king just picking whoever he wants.
