| The Stake President & Family with the Ebeye Elders |
On Wednesday we had District council. We were walking to the church and it was raining so hard and the wind was so strong. We were soaked by the time we got to the church. After district council we tried to go out and teach some lessons, but no one wanted to study because of the rain. That night it kind of calmed down so we went to teach Bilton and Wanda. Well they told us that we were in a typhoon but that it wasn't that big. That night I woke up at 2 in the morning because water was dripping on my face. It was raining so hard.
On Thursday it was even worse. We went to the school to teach english and no one was there because of the storm. We decided to go and try to teach people again but it was just raining so hard and the wind was crazy so no one wanted to study again. We got fed a "Thanksgiving" dinner. We ate some chicken sashimi and rice. It was pretty good. That night our roof was leaking in 11 spots. I woke up again at around 12 because the rain and wind were so crazy that it sounded like someone was throwing rocks at my window. Then I noticed that my bed was soaked from all of the water that was coming through the roof. It was crazy. We set up some buckets then went to bed.
Friday the Typhoon was over and we had some solid lessons. That night we had a stake Nativity. It was super fun. All of the missionaries took a picture with the stake president and his family, so I will send that.
Saturday I went on a split with elder Thomson. It was fun to be able to work in South. We had a super spiritual lesson with one of his investigators. We asked him what he wanted to do with his life, and he said that he wanted to become "christian" which means converted to christ here in the Marshall islands. We told him that through the gospel of Jesus Christ he could become converted. The spirit was so strong and it was an awesome lesson. We got fed another thanksgiving dinner by some members and we got Turkey this time. It was so good.
Sunday was a typical Sunday here in Ebeye. Not much happened but we did get a solid lesson with Lloyd, one of our new investigators.
Elder Wright's toe got infected so we had to do splits on Monday. I went with the ZL's. It was the first time I had to lead a lesson and I thought I did pretty good. We taught Peter on the importance and power of prayer. It was a super good lesson and Peter is doing great with his goals and commitments.
We also started learning biit this week. Biit is a traditional Marshallese dance that they do at Christmas. Man it is so cool and I am trying my best to get good at it haha. It's kinda hard but I think I will get it down.
Anyway I think that is about it from this week! I love you all and hope you have a great week! Thanks for all the love and support!
Jerramman!
