5 days till judgement (AKA transfers)

 Kaselehlie kumwail koaros!


What's goodie with y'all this week? Good news, still alive. Bad news, transfers are in 5 days and there is a possibility I could leave Pohnpei. Where would I go, I don't know but the Lord does so I'm chillin fr fr.

Anyways we had zone conference this week and it was fire per usual. Also went on exchanges this week with the zone leaders and it was a really good exchange. That's pretty much it for this week. Hope you all have a great upcoming week and stay blessed fam. Poakpoake kumwail lap!

Drunk people...gotta love em

 Kaselehlie miang ko!


This week was a lot better than last week for missionary work. We met a bunch of new people. Only one of them is a Pohnpeian, the rest are Filipino, Tuvalu, or other islands. This area is like the melting pot of Pohnpei. So many international people it's crazy.

Elder Montojo and I had a lot of fun this week. We basically just goofed around and laughed a ton as we walked to lessons, and we really been enjoying the work and our companionship. Overall, that's all I got for this email. Tune in next time to hear about more wacky events in Pohnpei missionary work.

Poakpoake kumwail! Kauno en ketin ieiang kumwail!

*story explaining the title*
We were on our way to a lesson and drove by a corner store. Next thing we see 8 grown men looking like zombies and 2 of them are sorta yelling and fighting each other. One had a school desk for some reason and tried to throw it at the guy but the other tackled him. Anyways, the police showed up right after we drove off because we saw 2 patrol cars roll up. So, yea gotta love all the drunk people in our area haha.

Redemption

 This is a redemption email for last week cause I forgot to send one. I've been getting lazy writing emails lately cause not much has changed but I'll still try my best because 1. Mother's Day just happened so this is mainly for you mom and 2. For anyone else still reading these haha.


This week was definitely slower work wise, and it was kinda difficult because of how many canceled lessons there were. We also invited a bunch of people to church and some even said they would for sure come so we were super excited but bummed out when literally none of those people showed up. It's all good though cause that's being a missionary. Some weeks are good, others not so good.

So, because of that, this week we are gonna focus on helping people really understand the importance of church. Nothing too much else to really say so I'll just end it here. I poakpoake kumwail koaros oh pil nohno kan koaros. Ahpw mehlel I poakpoake ahi nohno douluhl!
