what
up fam and friends!!!! Iakwe! Mauri!
crazy that i have been out for a year now!! it was a year on
thursday! crazy! i was happy to be back here in the Marshall Islands to
celebrate my year mark with my intake! there was a total of 6 of us on
island for our year mark. there is 12 of us, well technically 13, but one is in
the states.
Of course we had a little celebration, dinner and then spray
painted our shirts and then burned them. ill send pics!
This week was very stressful. I was trying to get everything
ready for the Kiribati branch that happened on Sunday.
one day me and my comp took the AP's car (with approval) and
went and invited all Kiribati people on the West side of Majuro. WHile we were
in Laura, we had 2 sisters with us that were showing us the Kiribati sisters in
there area. One house that we went to, it was off a small little road and there
wasnt really room to pull off because it was surrounded by trees and bushes, so
i pulled of like 3/4 of the way. It was a back road that i didnt expect any
other car to come down in the next 2 minutes. My comp and I, went into the
house for literally a minute and came out to see our car being driven over a
small tree and then reversed quickly bakc over it and reversing into a big tree
and a cracking sound and the tree almost falling on the car and then the car
speeding forward again.
Basically a car came,and one of the sisters (from Samoa and
never driven before) took the car and tried to move it. She told me she thought
the gas was the break and basically she crushed the back break light and
destroyed the front bumper. so you could say i was trying not to get mad at
her/cry. hahaha i was like frik me. i was entrusted with the car and this is
what happened and it just so happened that President was coming in the next
day. anyway it was a bad day. We still dont know who has to pay for it. we will
see. Pres wasnt too mad about it.
Then the other big event, the Kiribati Branch!!! History was
made yesterday, Sunday, September 10th, 2017. I was very happy to be apart of
it. I conducted church and also translated from Kiribati to Marshallese,
Marshallese to Kiribati, and English to Kiribati. Dang was my head hurting
hahahaha. we had about 12 people there, which is a good start. They all came to
class after and President said he was very impressed with my lesson hhaha.
Basically President loves me right now because of this Kiribati branch hahaha.
after sunday school, we combined the Marshallese ward and the Kiribati branch
for some food. Then we all took a big pic. History was made. Big moment in my
mission, gotta love it!
Anyway i love you all!!!! ill send pics later.
