Another week here in Arkansas

Memphis Temple
Iakwe aolep

I just wanna start out and give a quick shout out to two of my great friends Grace and Abbey. It's their birthday so everyone go wish them a happy birthday. 

This week was pretty crazy. With the world opening up the Marshall Islands decided to start getting their citizens back home. This is a pretty big step because the Marshall Islands used to be completely shutdown to people coming in. Everyone please pray that the borders will be able to open soon and the rest of the missionaries and I will be able to return and help out the 6 we left behind.

On Wednesday we drove a total of 7 hours. My comps had a lot of ZL stuff going on. We also found out that I would be getting a new companion so that's cool. We got 15 new missionaries. We were supposed to get 50 but 35 didn't come. We drove to little Rock and then to Searcy. It was pretty boring. 

Thursday we drive about another 4 hours to pick up my comp. His name is Elder Smith from Lehi. He's a cool guy. I also got to see the Memphis temple so that's cool.

The rest of the week was just trying to find people. We are opening an area so it's pretty hard. We had a miracle tho. We were doing some online finding and Elder Smith looked out the window and saw some people trying to get their keys out of their car. We went and helped them. As we helped them we taught the restoration and set up another lesson so we picked up a new investigator. It was really cool. I am also working with mostly Marshallese people. I had the opportunity to reach out to a Marshallese family and set up a lesson. Im super excited for the lesson because I miss the Marshall Islands and the people so maybe this will help me out haha. 

It was a great week and time is flying. I love you all and hope you all have a great week. I would love to hear from all of you. Stay safe!
