Faith, the Final Frontier - The Weekly Email

Faith, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the mighty Vanuatu Port Vila Mission. It's ongoing mission: to do the 5 and baptize, and invite others to come unto Christ. To boldly go where no mission has gone before. 
We just wrapped up our latest zone conference yesterday, and one of the things we talked about was the frontier of faith, that as we become more and more obedient and follow the five steps (Be obedient, be faithful, work hard, achieve the goals that you set, and never give up) President Granger has given us, we approach the frontier and once we break it, anything is possible. The zone conference was awesome, and once again I was translating. It was much easier this time, especially with the help of Elder Claveau, one of our newer Tahitian missionaries who speaks great English. I really do enjoy translating, although it does make it harder to participate in the conference. Luckily I have great companions who help me with that. 
As for some investigator updates, Patrice is still doing great, our last lesson with him he had a list of about 8 questions on what he had been reading in the Book of Mormon, and great questions too about why Laman and Lemuel still murmured after seeing the angel, questions like that. We also had a great member-present lesson with Alexia. I don't know how much I've talked about her, we've had a tough time getting in contact with her, but she's turning into a much more solid investigator. She was raised Catholic, but always argued with the priests in Catholic school and felt like she could never get answers, but she loves our lessons because she feels like she gets truthful, logical answers. The member who came with us was raised Catholic as well and he had a lot of similar experiences and they connected really well. It was an awesome experience. 
I also had a CT scan today for my sinuses, we should get the results this afternoon.
Other than that, not much else to report, hope you all are doing well back home!
Love you all!
