Dogs and Mice

Iakwe aolep!

Another crazy week here in the Marshall Islands.

Wednesday was a good day. Me and Elder Wright fasted for Peter and it was a super good experience. We haven't really been able to study with Peter this week because he has just been gone but we just need to have faith in God's plan for him. We had a lot of lessons and taught the Plan of Salvation to Ali and Wanda and Bilton. Our lesson with Ali was super spiritual and she told us she wanted to get baptized and was willing to break up with her boyfriend so we will see how that goes.

Thursday we had school which is always a blast. We had some more solid lessons. After our lessons we went to a birthday party for one of the bubu's (Grandma's) here. It was so fun. 

Friday was a rough day. Most of our lessons fell through so we went finding. We were having no success and then the ZL's called us because they wanted our help in cleaning out the chapel house so that Elders can move into it. We were cleaning it and I was standing outside talking to some kids. Well my leg was all of a sudden warm and wet and I saw out of the corner of my eye a dog peeing on my leg. I was so mad. I picked up a huge rock to throw at this dog but then the other Elders stopped me because it was a members' dog. Luckily the members didn't see the dog pee on me or else some elders would've ate some dog last week haha.

Saturday was an okay day. Not much happened because there was another funeral. It wasn't as big but not much worked happened. We did take care of the mouse that lived in the central elders apartment. Me and Elder Wright bought some mouse traps and set them up. We sat on the couch and waited for the mouse to come out. It didn't take long. Elder Thomson was so happy because they have been trying to kill this mouse for so long.

Sunday was just a regular Sunday. Not much work happens on Sunday because everyone is either at church or sleeping. We found 2 new investigators which was awesome. One of them is named Loit and he is 19 and one of them is Junior and he is 21. They are friends. We went to ask one of the members if they knew them and instead of answering our questions we just got fed. We ate some fish which was super good and then some not so good chicken. He brought out some chicken and said "Here's some chicken" then he said in English, "It's not cooked all the way but oh well". I had already put a piece on my plate so there was no going back. It hadn't been boiled long enough and it was so awful. I just ate most of the meat and then put the rest under my fish bones haha.

Monday was voting day so there was no school and no one had work. We had 4 lessons. It was a super good day. We finished the plan of salvation with Wanda and Bilton. We also studied with Loit and Junior. Both of those lessons were super spiritual so things are looking good!

I think that's about it! I love you all and hope you all have a great week!
