What
up Fam and Friends!
Well everyone please pray for my Gma Tingey, just broke.her
hip.and is very sick now, and also my mother just broke.her back as well.
This week was kind of boring haha, nothing crazy happened.
Tuesday we saw some rain clouds were ccoming in and we had a
lot.of work to get done that day so we tried to beat the rain on our bikes. Bad
call. We got dumpped on. This pacific rain storm just pounded us and at first
we tried to stay under some trees and then we realized we.were soaked so we
just road are bikes to.the closest village. It was pretty fun and we took some
funny videos and pics but basically all of our stuff was soaked. Books and
everything. Once we got to the village we went to a little store that has a
little opening and u just tell them what u want (thats how.the stores are). We
hid from.the rain there, but the rain didnt stop for 3 more hours, like it just
continued to dump rain. We were wet and then we just got super cold haha. When
the rain finally stopped we rode back to.the house, changed into dry clothes
and went back out and rode an hour to our dinner. The roads were all flooded
and muddy. We had dinner and.then we started home, and ofcourse it started to
pour rain again haha so we rode an hour home in the rain.
Its rainy season right now so its been raining a ton, especially
at night. Its nice because we can then drink rain water rather than well
water.
The other days were just classic missionary work. Missionary
work is hard, especially when all of ur investigators need to keep the WoW or
get married or.both haha.
Saturday we had a baptism. Another 11 year old boy named
Nabaruru Kaiaoka. Good kid. My comp baptized him.and then i gave him the Holy
Ghost on sunday.
Sunday- i dread sundays hahaha. They are the day that im most
frustrated and overwhelmed on. Its been like.that my whole mission. I feel
like.i have to drag people to church. Its frustrating. Last
week we had 61 peoeple at church and this week we had 45. Big drop. But to be
fair there was 7 parties on saturday night and it was raining
on sunday (yes we rode an hour in the rain to do church for a bunch of people
and they werent very grateful for it)
But the one success on sunday was that there was one church that
we didnt even go.to.because they are so awesome and can do.there own church and
have the priesthood to do it!
Love the work! But very frustrating at times.
I just barely hit 3 months here in Kiribati.and.here on Maiana!
I called one of my buddies who came to kiribati with me from Marshall
islands and he.said that President is already talking about bringing us back to
the Marshall islands hahahha. I want to go back but i want to go back at
the end of February. Thats the goal haha.
Love you all, stay safe. I pray for u all, please pray for me,
but also pray for ways that you can help the missionaries in your own
ward.
Dont forget the Lord, remember him when ur happy and when ur
sad, in prosperity or trial.
Much love,
