Kaselehlie Maing Ko!
This week's email will be a bit shorter, so I apologize in advance for that. However, we still had some crazy things happen as well as spiritual things also. The major highlights for me this week was that Elder Rasband (not 12 apostle) and Sister Yee (2nd counselor in the General Relief Society Presidency) came to Pohnpei and gave a few devotionals to the members, youth, and lastly us missionaries! It was an awesome experience and they both have very strong faith and testimonies of this gospel.
Now for some of the crazy things. I'm not sure why but we had encounters with like 3 drunk dudes this week all in like the span of 2 days. The first interaction was this guy named Eddie who was not fully sauced but he was still a little buzzed. He was super nice but the whole time tried to argue with us about the "3 heavens". The next guy was the day after that and it ended up being one of Eddie's friends and he was very against the idea of the spirit world.
The last guy was actually the funniest but maybe also the most dangerous interaction. We were driving to a lesson and this guy was yelling at us to stop and my comp and I had the prompting to keep driving but we decided to stop anyway just in case. Well turns out that maybe wasn't the best decision because this dude was wayy drunk. He wanted us to give him a ride down to the store, but he couldn't tell us what he needed from said store. Not to mention we aren't allowed to give people rides as missionaries. So, we had to apologize and said we needed to go and as we drove away, we heard him start swearing at us and even threatened to kill us if we came back. So that was fun but we also both realized that we definitely should've followed the prompting to keep driving.
Overall, this week has been super crazy while also being super spiritual. As always, I poakpoake kumwail! (I love you all!)
