Konichiwa Japan*

It's been a while, I know & I hope the next news that I have for you will make up for some lost time :)

Soooo guess whos in Japan as of right now, this very second!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Yup, this girl! :)))
The excitement is unexplainable! Lol So you're probably wondering what Im doing here, if youre one of my readers who actually care, Ill explain! Hahaha
So I got lucky to be one of 12 dancers who were chosen to come & perform for the Odaiba Festival :) Seriously, its such a huge honor to be here & I am so blessed to be able to be part of this. Working at the Polynesian Culture Center is a blessing in itself & I hope to make my family, especially the ones who danced before me, proud <3

Heres To Day #1 Here In Odaiba Japan!
Enjoy some pics from day 1! :)

I always wanted someone to hold my name at the airport, so this will suffice :) Lol

Our flight was 8 hours & completely empty! so we each had a row to ourselves :) Did you know that when you fly international you get fed for free!?
(Sorry Im an American virgin & this is my FIRST time out of the country! Lol)

Kini & I in front of our hotel :) Funny fact: Out of the 12 dancers, he's the only one who isn't Samoan ;) Lol

Team Elder Fitisemanu*

So tonight I sent one of my good friends, Elder Sterling Moe, off on a mission & I asked him to look out for Elder Fitisemanu when he gets to Samoa, since thats where he'll be serving <3 

I watched as he hugged the girl he loved for the last time </3 I watched as she held her missionary with every piece of strength she had in her & it made me think of him...of us <3 How we were in this position not too long ago. Its like I was reliving that day. My heart broke all over again because I knew what she, what they, were going through. But I knew it was all for the best because it was all for our Savior <3

I find myself missing him from time to time but I know that as long as we put our Lord first, he will bless us indefinitely <3 Only he knows whats best for us and all he asks of us is to TRUST in Him :')

I've learned that my faith in Him lately has been weak & I need to fix that. I'm not sure where we stand but I do know that everything WILL be okay, just like how we said it would <3 & I know that no matter what happens, what paths we end up taking, which purpose where destined to have, I will ALWAYS be here for him & I will always have a special place in my heart for Him <3 

As I watch other girls send their missionaries out & they come to me of all people for advice, I cant help but think of my life and reflect on what the best thing that I can tell them & all I could think of is this....that things really do change but I promise that if you make decisions with a Christ centered mind & heart that things will work out the way its needed to <3 People will come in and out of your life but remember who's team you're on.

As for me I'm still cheering for Him...
#TEAM ELDER FITISEMANU <3
