Iokwe Iokwe! Ejet ami mour? What up fam!!! im just out here on an island yah know? where to start i dont know hhaah. lets talk a little bit more about the island. here on Ebeye i dont have to go fishing for my food. We have little stores here that sell food, but obviously its super expensive because its all imported. ON the outer islands is where you have to fish for your food everyday. They go spearfishing wish is dope! the 2 most common questions on the islands are "Where are you coming from? and where are you going?" and you just point oh i came from that house over there and im going to that house over there. and they just say oh thats cool. Here everyone works on Kwaj, the American base on the island right next to us. the people either work or just chill and somehow survive.
Me and my comp did some good work this week, yesterday we taught 8 lessons! we have some solid investigators that im super excited for. One is 9 years old and her name is Miko and shes so cute and smart. She lives with her Grandma who is a very active member. We have a baptism date for her and im so excited for her.
Here on the island its very hot! like super hot, and there is like no trees because every place is needed for someone to live. It also rains everyday, and when it rains it pours. i love when it rains cuz that means it will cool off.
If everyone member here in ebeye was active we would probably have a temple super close, but there are soooooo many less actives. Also its pretty sad to see like 10 year old kids smoking cigarretes and gambling. Also there are a ton of dogs and cats here on the island. like there are so many. and also there are Rats. and big rats. one time we were teaching an investigator and i saw a ton of rats just climbing in the junk behind him, it was gross. gottta love it hahaha. i love the people here, especially the kids.
Btw im mad i didnt get any pics of everyones Halloween costumes!! smh
The spiritual thought for this week is 2Nephi 31:20 i think thats the scripture, it talks about enduring to the end! love you guys!
