Elder Fitisemanu Called to Serve in Apia, Samoa!

My brother Kalani Fitisemanu III was called to serve a 2 Year mission for the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints & to labor in the Apia, Samoa mission:)

He left march 21st into the MTC in provo & should be departing to Samoa around the end of May!

For those of you who may not understand what a mission is

Any worthy young man who is able to serve, should serve a mission for a period of 2 years preaching & teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Woman are also allowed to serve a mission for a period of a year & a half but it is not required for woman as it is for young men.

The men are able to leave for their mission at the earliest age of 19 to the latest age of 25 

& for woman is 21 to 25 

where they are labored to serve is merely in the hands of the lord & the first presidency of the church prays for these specific young men to receive revelation of where they should go where they can do their best & where they can grow spiritually, physically, mentally & emotionally & serve those to the best of their abilities as Members of Gods Army.

Missionaries serve the lord for 2 years so they can be with their families for eternity.

Serving a mission is the most unselfish thing you could ever do, you give 2 years of your life for the Lord to help build his kingdom & teach his sons & daughters the true & restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

I am so proud of Kalani & the decision he made to serve the lord.

I love him so much, & even though we may not have gotten a long %100 of the time my love for him & all my siblings are unconditional.

I know that this is the true church of Jesus Christ. I have felt it & i can not deny it.

if any of you who come across this & have questions feel free to visit 

mormon.org

or ask me:)

till next time

keep it real

Life After

Well, im back home in Southern California. Schooling at the LDS Business College is officially complete & so I also came home with a Associates Degree In General Studies.

The Adjustment to home was not as easy as i hoped, finding a job was the hardest part..making new friends or more friends is even harder. 

I left my life in Utah, my friends, my experiences, my moments of growth & who i was when i first got there. But i know because i was blessed enough to have that opportunity, i can now take it with me in my heart where so ever i may go in this world & know, that i did my best & i love who i am now.

But now, i have seemed to found my place again. I work at Monoprice.com with the best co workers you could ever ask for* I worked there in the summer when i needed to come home due to my circumstances. I worked in the werehouse as a packer, before the machines came in where it now does a lot of the work for them, we would stand there for 8 hours a day finding boxes to match the size of the order & pack it. yea, i got a crap load of calluses -.- aha it was way hard work, & almost all of the people i worked with were Hispanic & Spanish speaking. For most of them, spanish was their first language & they came over to America for a better life for their families. Hispanic people are the most hardworking people i know.

This job was 40 hours a week for 10 bucks an hour,  for most of them this was what they did for a living. 

what they did to bring food on the table

to pay bills

to provide for their family

there was people who worked there my age & already had children but werent married, there were mothers & fathers & working with them, made me very humble & grateful to know i had an education waiting for me back in utah when i returned.

The Blessings of education ARE REAL!!
