2 Baptisms and Planting Seeds

Monday, February 23, 2015

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.
