A baptismal date and lots of exchanges

 Hello all!


I'm just gonna jump straight in. This week was really good and also kinda boring at the same time. Biggest highlight is that we put one of our friends on date for baptism! We're super excited for him and his choice to be baptized. 

A lot of the lessons we had lined up fell through and a bunch of people were busy or sick or just straight up canceled on us so that was a bit of a bummer.  There was also some kind of multi-Island Baseball tournament going on so that was a busy event for many people. However we found some cool people so that made up for it.

We have 2 more weeks until transfer calls and this transfer has flown by-- its crazy. Anyway we're just steadily grinding out here. Love y'all and have a wonderful week!

Just chillin' wit my homies...and Elder S. Mark Palmer

 If you don't know who that is look up some of his talks on gospel library, he's got some fire talks. Anyway, this week was super dope. We've been putting in that work here in Nanpohnmal and it's been paying off.


We had stake conference this week and a bunch of our friends and less active member families came so it was super awesome. We had one of our friends who wants to be baptized come so that was super cool. The coolest part of the conference is that we had Elder Palmer come and speak to us and it was freaking amazing.

Apart from all that, we've just been grinding and steadily putting in that work and it's been really fun and rewarding. I am super grateful for this time I have to dedicate my time to the Lord and I'm of course super grateful for the people here and also every one of you back home. Keep being awesome. Jesus loves you always!

Another Banger Week

 Kaselehlie maing koarosie!


This week was a certified banger. We had some really good lessons and church was awesome. We had like 10 people in elders quorum which sounds like no one but it's a lot for our ward. 

We also taught one of our most progressing friends about baptism and he said he wants to be baptized so that's awesome. We also finally moved fully into our new apartment so we got a new crib now lesss go. This week is stake conference so that'll be fun.

Remember to read your scriptures!

Nanpohnmal Shenanigans

 Kaselehlie kumwail! 


The area we in right now is dope. The people are dope, the members are dope. Biking is dope and really tiring. We have a car now though, so biking was fun for a week but goodbye bikes, I guess. This week we found a ton of cool and progressing people. 

The ward members too are so awesome they feed the missionaries all the time. It's nice to see a somewhat organized ward for a change. Also, we are changing apartments because the senior missionary couple needs to be in our apartment that is not up 4 flights of stairs so that's happening. We are also teaching our friend Dennis who is married to a member that is less active.  He's really cool and they are reading the scriptures together. Besides all that, we just grinding out here on the isles of the sea. Love y'all!
