6 months in the slum of the Pacific

Iakwe Iakwe!

I can't believe that I have been a missionary for 6 months. It's gone by so fast and I have loved every second of it.

This week was a great week! We had lots of success and Janobly was baptized!

On Wednesday we had a good lesson with Janobly. We reviewed the baptismal questions with him and he seemed ready! We had another lesson with some new investigators Royal and Jabot. Royal and Jabot live on the outer island of likiep. They are on Ebeye for school. A member asked us to study with them before they go back to Likiep. There are no missionaries on Likiep so we don't know exactly what will happen. Things are looking good though!

On Thursday we went and taught English. After That I had a split with Elder Day. It was a good time. Elder Day did his baptismal interview and he passed! Then we picked up a new investigator. Her name is Irynn and she is Ali's sister. We had a great lesson with her. We shared Ether 12:27 with Kartin and Jennifer. I love sharing this scripture because people seem to really understand and accept it. 

Friday was a pretty good day. Mama stephen's went to majuro and is going to america. She is going to be gone until March, so we went and said goodbye to her in the morning. It was rough and I am going to miss her lots. Then we started to prepare for the baptism and make a program.

Saturday we had Janobly's baptism. The person who was supposed to talk on the Holy Ghost didn't show up so I had to do it. It was pretty good. The baptism went well and I was super happy about it.

Sunday was crazy there were over 200 people at church. The church building was packed. There were 2 baby blessings. Also we gave Janobly the gift of the Holy Ghost. That night we picked up 3 new investigators. These girls had been coming to church with their friends for a while but were too scared to tell us that they wanted to study. So we worked with one of the RM's and set up a lesson. The lesson went super well. The RM helped a lot and said that she would help every lesson. Things are looking good and the work is picking up!

Yesterday was rough. There was a funeral and all of our lessons fell through.

Well I hope you all had a great week! I love you all and will talk to you soon!

Kojparok wot!
