Iakwe Aolep!
All is well here in Ebeye! This week was pretty good. The work is starting to slow down because of the Holidays but I guess that's just how it is.
On Thursday the School we teach at had a big party because they are about to start Christmas break. They don't have school until January so I won't be able to teach until then. The new Elders also came on Thursday so there were 13 Elders on Ebeye. I'm pretty sure that's a mission record haha.
Friday was a super stormy day so not much happened. Elder Garr, Strong, and Ence left to Majuro so that was sad. We went and dropped them off at the dock. Then we went home and basically did studies all day.
Saturday was a pretty good day. We had a great lesson with Peter. Wanda and Bilton passed their baptismal interview so they will be baptized on the 21. We had just finished the interview with Elder Taua and Driggs and some people called us over. This guy's wife was super sick and said that she needed our help. We went and gave a blessing to her, and then to him because he was sick as well. They are both less active and said that they would come back to church. They didn't show up on Sunday though.. So we will see.
Sunday we had church. We had a lesson with Ali after church and it was rough. Elder Wright told me I was leading the lesson and he wouldn't bail me out when I didn't know what to say. It was rough and Ali thought it was so funny. Oh well haha. After that nothing really happened.
Yesterday we had so many lessons planned but they all fell through. So we went finding and there was no success. It was super hot yesterday so we were walking around and trying to talk to people but nothing was happening. We had a family home evening yesterday. We ended up giving a blessing to the girl who was having us over. She was super sick so it was a good opportunity. The spirit was so strong during the blessing. It was a super cool experience. After the family home evening we went to biit. During biit there was a huge parade going around for gospel day. They were throwing out candy, but whenever they saw the Elders they would call us over and just give us handfuls of candy. It was super funny. I'm not sure what day gospel day is but it is in celebration of the first protestant missionaries.
That's about it from this week. Not much happened. Just a week of hard work! I love you all and hope you are all doing well!
Shout out to the fam for the christmas decorations!
