It feels like I have been out for a century ....

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.
