Always Sing Karaoke

What is going on everyone out there in the Christmas themed world! We got a good amount of stuff done this week, so I will give you the rundown

Tuesday: We started teaching one of our neighbors whose husband went on a mission to Florida and wanted her to start taking lessons from the missionaries. So when we asked her if she wanted to take the lessons she was more than happy. After the first lesson we gave her a Book Of Mormon which she glady took and said she would read it. After we went and taught another lesson to Nei Berita who of course is always super excited to see us. She is such an awesome lady. You know we couldn't go a day without gardening, so thats what we did for the rest of the day haha.

Wednesday: We started off the day with a quality garden build for a store keeper that lives down the road from us. Elder Wright and I cranked out that garden pretty fast because thats basically our profession out here in the islands of Kiribati haha. Basically from 12 to 7:00 we were walking around trying to find new people and visiting people. Our dinner got cancelled, so on our way back to our house we stopped by the "hotel" and grabbed something to eat. While we were there they pulled out the karaoke machine and wanted us to sing, so us being us you know we couldnt pass up an opportunity to let people hear our garbage voices haha. So we ended up singing for about 50 minutes and Wow my voice was tired. And guess what, the store keeper said she wanted to take lessons with us. Karaoke always pays off!

Thursday: We had a branch picnic basically all day long. It was a way awesome activity because a lot of people came that were both members and non members. There was a lot of food, games, and of course some sweet kiribati music.

Friday/Saturday: We went back and had another lesson with our neighbor and we found out that she ended up reading a good chunk of the Book of Mormon which is super happy. We had a couple other lessons with some more people. I have to say i am definitely starting to speak and understand a lot more because of the lessons we are teaching.

Sunday: It rained all day long and didn't stop once until 10pm. So from when we left our house in the morning till we got back at night we were completely soaked. We also got pretty muddy because the whole road is basically one huge puddle. But it was still a solid day, we taught 2 lessons and church was great.

Well that its for this week, not that much happened but we still got a lot of work done.

Love Elder Jeppson
