Dear Family,
My mission is pretty legit right now. My companion is
literally another me except Samoan. A Samoan, from San Diego. Like I’m pretty sure I was supposed to be his
twin along with Salano, so triplets. But literally my mission is awesome. I
love this mission. The work is hard though right now but we should be having
some baptisms soon. The success is almost there. But I’m having a blast while
working hard. It’s the best.
Love you guys so much, thank you for supporting me.
P.S. only 18 months left! Almost home with honor!

Dear Family,
Hey family, so I fell
in the shark sanctuary last week and became food, just kidding. No the power went out and we were playing some
freaking awesome basketball so that is why I did not write. Last Monday I was
on, so I was playing pretty good. I always like playing really good ball
because I'm a 220 pound 5' 8'' guy and I can play with the rest of them. The
best shot I made was against the tallest biggest guy in the mission who is from
Samoa. I pushed into him and hit a fade away and everybody was like What?!?!
did that just happen? It was pretty funny.
Not much news to go
on. Transfers are coming up soon as an intake is going home. Faleono is pretty
trunky but we are still trying to work hard. Faleono said he is going to try
and come to my homecoming. He is the man. We really are twins, even down to
having butter cover the complete face of the toast. It's going to be sad to
have him go home but I will see him in life so it's all geezy.
Well it is a pretty uneventful week but my mission feels
like it’s on light speed or something. I am in Rita South so it's the same
apartment I had when I started my mission in the Marshalls.
What I like about my
companion is basically everything, he is another me. Which sometimes it can get
boring because are so much alike so we go and talk with the other elders and
stuff. It's a blast.
We are hoping for 6
baptisms this week but it could be a bit lower than that. So we are hoping for
the best.
Weeks go faster than
the days themselves. It doesn't make a lot of sense but it feels that way.
I love you guys and
know that I might be called to an outer island where I can't email for 4 months
so be prepared. But that probably won't happen soon. Anyways I love you guys
and all the support you give me.

Dear
Family,
This
week went by really fast. We were able to get 2 baptisms on Saturday and now we
are looking at maybe one on Saturday which is pretty awesome. We got a referral
and it looks promising. Missionary Work is such an important work to be done.
It is awesome to be able to meet anyone and be able to try and help them. It's
just a really cool opportunity to be a missionary. I am still trying to
get the language down, it's seems that right when you seem to get it, it gets
more challenging and harder. But I am trying.
We
don't have a lot of other investigators but we are studying with them and
seeing if they will progress. Right now we have investigators that are
interested but they seem to be more interested in just learning about the
church and not committing to change as we teach them. It's hard but at least we
are out there planting the seed.
Transfers
should be happening next week and I am going to be working in Batkan in long
island. It's where I worked for like a week before I left for Ebeye. It's one of
the bike areas so that is pretty cool. I love riding bikes.
Thank
you for all the love and support you give me. It means a lot.
