We got to SKYPE with Elder Romney on Saturday 02/06/16 to make up for not being able to do it on Christmas. That was nice. Here is the letter he sent yesterday and a few from the last few weeks. Please pray for him that he will not get more Kidney stones. He really does not want to have to leave the mission for further tests or to have to come home early. He keeps getting stones in the same location in the same kidney. He has been told "No more soda" and cut back on rice. Not sure what he will eat and drink. Poor Kid.

Dear Family,
Last week was a good week of work. It is nice to be in an area where the work is fun and in abundance. Last week we were able to baptize 3 investigators, although I was in the hospital with another kidney stone. That was the only down side. That makes this the third one I have had on my mission. Nonetheless, it was a great week of missionary work. This week will also be a busy week as we have interviews from the president as well as Zone Conference and then to top it off another 2 baptisms this Saturday. Transfers will be announced at Zone conference or in our interviews. I think I may be working in Uliga, which is the area right next to mine. I'm excited about the idea of working in Uliga, but not necessarily the changing companion part. But that's part of what a mission is all about. It was great to skype you guys, and I can't wait to see you all. Especially getting to spend time with my sister and brother. Thank you for all you do for me and I love you and this Gospel.

Hello,
Well the baptism didn't happen this week because the family wanted to throw a party for the kids that were getting baptized, i was a little disappointed but as long as the baptism happens this week it will be fine. Other than that the week was a really good week. It was nice being able to go out and work hard. In Jaluit it was just so slow and there was hardly any work, but here there is plenty and it just makes everything better. It also makes time go by faster which makes the last 6 months of potential trunkiness go by faster so yeah. But I will make sure it is filled with good work and effort. Sorry I was using the card, I had absolutely no money. I needed some food, and the stuff on amazon was some more protein powder some vitamins and a new pocket knife. The knife might seem weird to buy, but I have pretty much used one everyday of my mission, and mine finally broke. So I needed a new one. Most people probably wouldn't understand that. I'm hoping i will get to interview with president soon because i think he gets back today, and it would be nice to get an interview with him. I've only had 2. One the first day of my mission in the field, and the 2nd one was sometime last summer, so it would be nice to get one, but if I don't, not that big of a deal.

I am back in Majuro haha. My average time in an area has been 6-8 weeks and it is chaotic.. I swear if they move me next transfer I am going to revolt. I have a baptism next week, my companion is Elder Angilau and I love him, He's about to go home but we are going strong. He is from Seattle and is probably the most humble guy I've ever met. He is great. I'm only sad that he has to leave in four weeks.
