ALL PLANNED

Dear Family,

This week went by pretty quickly it seems. I hope I get heaps of weeks like that. Anyways the baptism was last Saturday and yes I did baptize the girl. Her name is Norlina. I started it and then like half way through it like totally spaced it and had this dramatic pause in the middle of it and then finished it, all in Marshallese. So luckily I completed it, but I added this long dramatic pause in the middle, you know, ALL PLANNED! Made it heaps better as a baptism right!

I think the couple is getting married this week. I think we are getting close to getting more baptisms but we have to make sure a few things are cleared up and stuff before that happens. Hopefully we can get them baptized.

We had a quick transfer this week and another elder from Elder Harris' intake came, he is also from New Zealand and he is pretty awesome, really funny as well.

We got to play rugby last week for combined P-Day and it was glorious. It was awesome to play with a bunch of kiwis and run around playing touch. By the time I get home I will probably get better because of the chance to get to have a bunch of polys and kiwis teaching me more and more about the game and getting to play with them. It's really fun. 

Ioue is like a fleshy meat that can be found inside a cocoanut. 

I had to buy a machete and my companion needed one too, but he paid me back already.   The machete was needed for service projects and cutting down bananas and opening coconuts and stuff.  It was my mom’s machete!  (Nacho Libre reference) We did some bush trimming and cut the grass.

Love you guys and hope you have a good week.
