"My 2 main goals in life.."

  I cannot express how much love and respect I have for Missionaries and all that they sacrifice to serve the Lord. How AMAZING is that! I love how Missionaries have so much love for our Savior, and show it by serving their mission.

  I look up to Missionaries so much..I mean, each and everyone of them are such great examples. It seriously makes my entire day seeing them at the store on Mondays, riding their bikes, walking around town, and also seeing the sister missionaries at the temple..I absolutly LOVE it!

  I want to serve my mission, I have a DESIRE to serve my mission. In the LDS religion, girls don't need to serve their mission, we have a choice..whether or not we want to. But in the Tongan culture, if we are proposed to before we are of age to go on our mission..then we need to get MARRIED!..hahaha like my Grandpa Vaikalafi always says to me "Pulotu, always remember..get marry your first oppurtunity, if not..then serve the Lord".

    I have a burning testimony in my heart of the truthfulness of this amazing gospel, which makes me yearn to share it with others. Missionaries to me are the best people on this earth..(after my mom and dad..of course!) lol what an amazing work they do, bringing our lost brothers and sisters back into our Father in heavens arms..that to me is the most powerful work here on earth..

  * I want to be a missionary now!(: haha.. ( I love this song) hahaa..





 Temple marriage!! what girl wouldn't want to get married in the most beautifulest place on this EARTH!? I cannot express how important temple marriage is to me..thinking about it gets me really emotional. It kills me to see this world putting temple marriage off to the side by, having a civil marriage...and later on getting sealed..dont get me wrong! thats good too..but why not do it the right way the first time?..why play around with such an amazing gift?.

  I was once told, to think of my dad..and all the love I have for him ( and I have alot of love for my dad) lol..and then think of my wedding day, and if he wasnt there..now take that and think of a civil marriage, our father in heaven loves us just as much as our earthly father loves us..and more, and how he feels about you not getting married in his house..where he can be present. I'm sure it hurts :'(.

  "We as girls, are princess',our Father is our King..and his temple is our castle" so why settle for less when each and everyone of us girls deserve the BEST!!. I know that if you set your mind and heart on what you really want, and strive to work hard at it, and not let temptation get control of you..you will be greatly rewarded.

  I often wake up at 5:00am on Saturdays, just to observe my parents, and my married siblings and their spouses, get ready to go to the temple. I watch with great curiosity, and think.. why do they take "temple bags", and what do they do in there. These questions in my mind make me wonder..and make me even more excited for when it is my turn to go, to get up at 5:00am, and get ready along with my family members. Im not saying that im a perfect little angel, who is just flawless...NO! this is obviously one of my MAIN goals in life..meaning, im WORKING at it..its a working process lol.

 "There is NO MAN, on this earth that can break the bond between my Heavenly Father and I..and keep me from getting married in the temple"..I can sit here and type all the characteristics I want in my future husband...but to be completely honest, I need to become worthy myself, to be sealed to someone who's right for me. I dislike when girls sit there and want, want, want..all these traits in a man..but dont stop to think about changing themselves to be worthy enough to have a man like that. So, I'm working on myself..and striving to be the best I can..and hopefully get a man who is worthy enough to take me to the temple.

  I love my Father in Heaven, and I thank him for the gift of ETERNAL marriage, and such beautiful temples around this world..I will prepare myself for this great blessing, and hopefully someday celebrate my wedding with the ones I love and care for..including my Heavenly father.


  *Never settle for less, when you deserve the BEST!(;

 

"A perfect sister I am not, but thankful for the ones I've got.”

*Best friends? I've got six of um'..lol

    Why did I choose to blog about my sisters, when this is only the second blog of mine? they are the first people that I love to talk about, and since I know I won't have time to talk about them to anyone face to face, I thought, why not just blog about it, and if anyone has the time and patience to sit and read this..that to me is great! lol
       I obviously have six sisters, and they are seriously my best friends. No we are not perfect or always happy dappy with each other haha but we do complete each other. There is a certain connection sisters have with each other, that no one else could replace or understand if they have none or aren't one. They know all my secrets that no one else knows, and I trust them with my life. Each and everyone of us have a different personality, which is great because we learn from each other. If there is one word I could use to describe my sisters, it would be LOVING. I can get hurt by someone and not even have to explain my whole story on why, and they'll already know and feel for me, and we cry together.

      My favorite memories that I have with my sisters would have to be our infamous late night talks..filled with a ton of laughs, tears, stories, jokes, and food!! haha We can literally talk all day and night about nothing...and wont even notice how late or early it is until we hear birds chirping and see the sun rising, and most of my sisters have missed calls from their husbands haha. We know everything about eachother, and if one of us is trying to be secretive about something..it isn't possible, because we will have a meeting hahaha..one thing we have a hard time doing, is accepting the men our sisters are dating hahaha, I feel the soon to be brother in law or boyfriend should be more scared to meet my sisters rather than my brothers hahaha.. I mean we love our brothers in laws and boyfriends, but in the beginning we have long chats with eachother, about if we will like him or not..(yea we need to calm down on that!) hahaha..but in the end all that matters is if he loves her and if shes happy.
    Living in different homes kills us or at least kills me! lol haha, its hard not to see eachother..it is a must to see eachother, or make some kind of communication with eachother daily. I'm pretty nervous because one of my older sisters is pregnant and is due in about 3 weeks, and after she gives birth, she will be leaving to Seattle, and settling there :( just thinking about it hurts..I love ALL my sisters and I just don't like being away from them. They are seriously my BEST friends..and I don't ever want to lose them and the love we have for eachother. I thank my parents for raising us, to become a close group of virtuous woman(: I love them with all my heart, and I thank my Heavenly Father for them everyday. Im grateful for the bond my sisters and I have..and I would not give them up for anything<3

"Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one."

*Family, a piece of Heaven(:

I come from a family of four brothers and six sisters, I am the seventh child and I love it. My family is everything but perfect, we have our flaws and all but in the end, their the only ones by my side when times get rough. One out of the many reasons I love being part of a big family, is that your never alone, there is always a loved one by your side, I'm so thankful for all of them. I give props to my loving parents, for raising all eleven of us, and sacraficing all that they have, and still do to this day. Its amazing how much love I have for my family, I can tell you all now, I will do ANYTHING for the ones I love. My life would not be complete if I did not have any of them, ( I know alot of people say this) but it's so true. haha.
  I have two beautiful nieces and three handsome nephews who I love and adore with all of my heart. I love these kids as if they were my own..( none of them are mine though, Im only eighteen!) hahaha. lol. Hearing them laugh, or seeing them smile, brightens my day..I kid you all not haha they are such a great blessing to have in my life. Every person in my family has such a great impact on my life, I would not be anything without them..(hopefully they don't have a blogspot..I dont wanna let them know how much love I have for them) hahaha just kidding!! They know I love and appreciate all they do for me.
 Being in a HUGE family has taught me to be humble, patient, respectful, and loving. I don't get my way all the time and I'm grateful for that, because it's made me who I am today. I love all of them, and wouldn't trade them for the world.. Ofa Lahi Atu
