Another great week!

Transfers are coming up and I am staying in Ebeye. The work is really starting to pick up and it is a lot of fun.

This week was a big holiday for this atoll. The Memorial Day or something. They had a huge basketball tournament, a big meeting with the president and the land chiefs. It was big so being there showed that the white missionaries respect the culture. Also they built a new basketball court for the final game. It was super nice. We went and watched and the whole island was there. They also did a canoe race that we got to watch. It was cool.

Right now Elder Peterson's comp, Elder Christensen, left and we are in a trio over two areas, with a total of 60 people to teach for a few days. It is crazy.

No Power Once Again

Crazy week. The power was out so we couldn't email last week. Last pday we went to an outer island on the atol that I am on. No one lives there so it was a free for all, climbing trees with a machete to get some coconuts or fishing to catch some food. All an adventure.

Lots of finding new people to teach and lots of lessons, really busy week. The assistants came out here and gave us some trainings and a lot of mail. It was like Christmas, especially the American food.

The work here has picked up a lot. When we went to a member's house, we asked for some referrals and she went outside and told 3 people to come teach with us. She is a legend and a great member. It is good taking members on splits because they can walk in the house and wake up the person we are teaching.

There is a basketball tournament going on and it is big here. We go cheer at the games, feels like high school. Then we also find at the same time. It is a lot of fun. Had a great Sunday, lots of people came and we also had a lesson with one of our investigators. He said he knew this church is true. he is a great guy and he lives with members. Some of my favorite members.
