It also feels like I
just got here.
It
was a good week this week. The longer you are here the more monotonous the
schedule gets. Not much changes because we do the same things every day.
I
have said this a lot but my zone is the best! We sing these pacific island
farewell songs every time someone leaves. It is so powerful and although the
polys are really big and scary they are the nicest people I have ever met. In a
picture below it shows one of the polys pair of pants. I can almost fit my
whole body in them. I can fit both my legs in one leg hole.
We
have TRC today. We are teaching a full lesson in Marshallese almost every day.
It is hard. My comp and I were teaching about Heavenly Father, we decided to
share Moses 1:39. Our investigator was confused because that scripture was
in the Pearl of Great Price, but he knew Moses was in the bible. He was
confused and we didn’t know how to explain it. We asked the Lord for help to be
able to help him understand. We were able to use what we knew in order to help
him. I testify that Christ lives and he helps us every day and all we need to
do is ask.
The Marshallese elder is in a picture below and he is amazing. He always
comes to our room and bares his testimony for about an hour in English and
helps us with Marshallese. The language is hard, but it is super specific and a
lot of back story from words. For example apostasy is Bun jan
tomak, which literally
translates to: fall from faith.
The MTC is awesome and I am always spiritually uplifted. 60 elders from
our zone are leaving next week and we will be receiving 60 new guys. There will
be new zone leaders called and everyone is saying it will be someone else, we
will see on Sunday. Our teacher talks more and more about the islands and I can’t
wait to get there but also enjoying my time here.
