Hello Hello Everybody! I hope you all have had a wonderful week and remembered to smile everyday. This past week was pretty good filled with lessons, meetings, driving, and sun. So let's just jump right into the week shall we:
Elder Glauser and I are training a new missionary so the adventure begins. His name is Elder Roundy and take a wild guess about where he's from...Yep you guessed it, he's from Utah. I have only had 3 out of my 9 comps not from Utah! He is a cool guy!
We were able to do some service this week for a lady that reached out to us on Facebook which was super nice because it meant we were going to be out of the house. She wanted us to shovel out some snow but the only problem was that the snow isn't light and fluffy anymore. We were hacking at straight ice haha we might as well have been hitting the concrete because that was it felt like. I loved it though because it meant I wasn't sitting on my phone inside. She hooked us up with 2 large pizzas afterwards so i would say it was worth it.
Oh funny story. We were walking from our car to our apartment when this guy comes up to Elder Roundy puts a cigarette in his mouth, uses some colorful language and starts saying how cool his suit was. He was eyeing it up and down and I was watching him thinking, "I'm going to have to run after him in a second because my comp is about to get jumped haha." It was pretty funny and it added some excitement to our day. He didn't get jumped which was a little sad because I really wanted to run after this dude haha.
We have been staying super busy teaching people, driving, going to meetings, and enjoying the missionary life. The mission is so awesome and I love every second of it. I just found out that I'm going to be staying here for the rest of my mission so that's definitely a bummer to not be returning to Kiribati, but I have come to love it here so it will still be full of awesome experiences! Don't worry I will be back there after the mission so stay tuned for some sweet pics;)
Here's a little spiritual food👇🏽
"If thou wilt do good, yea, and hold out faithful to the end, thou shalt be saved in the kingdom of God, which is the greatest of all the gifts of God; for there is no gift greater than the gift of salvation"
That was pretty much the week here. Hopefully this coming week is a little more eventful. Remember to keep on smiling!
Tangiringkami ni kabane!
