A bittersweet week

 Kaselehlie Maing Ko! 


This week was bittersweet. The work was pretty good and we even had a baptism! Yes that's right folks, Kenzie has entered the fold. He also now has the Aaronic priesthood which is crazy! It was bittersweet however because today 5 missionaries from Pohnpei finished their missions and are headed home, one of them being Elder Tangi, one of my companions way back in Eirike.

We got to do the Haka for them at the airport before they left so that was fun and super energetic. All in all it makes me even more sad when the day comes for me to board that plane. Until then we gonna keep grinding out here because we not done yet baby!

We are trio-ing up this week because Elder Tangi's comp is now companionless. Transfers are also this upcoming Saturday.  That's about it for everything recently. Love y'all and keep on keepin on!

The Great Kingdom of Kitti!

 Kaselehlie maing ko!


This week was freaking awesome, so I'll just jump straight into it. I'll start off by saying the past few weeks I have had kind of "spiritual" ups & downs. Some good days, some not so good. However, this past week has been so awesome. We had stake conference and zone conference, and both were really amazing. The success we saw and experienced this week was joyous due to all the hard work and effort we have put in this transfer and the people's strength of faith. Kalahngan en kauno!

After this week I will say I have had a spiritual re-igniting of that fire to continue to work hard and serve the people. I can testify that it can be really difficult a lot of times. Especially in missionary work. I know that if we continue to press forward and do our best and trust in the Lord, he will help us, and all things will turn out well. 

I don't really have the time or space to describe many of the wonderful things that happened in just this last week but do know that it was definitely a miracle filled week. I am sad that my time as a missionary is slowly coming to a close, but I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to serve the people here and feel the love of God and see it effect these people's lives. Anyway, I love every single one of you and I love this work!

You've got to be Kitti-ng me!

Kaselehlie Maing Ko!

It's me again and we back for another edition of: "What's happen' in Kitti?"
Nothing much really. We had an OK week, we trio-d up with one of the other elders because his companion, who is the zone leader, went to Guam for a few days. So we were double covering areas.

Church was really good as well. We got our friend who is on date for baptism to join again and we had really good discussions. Overall the work has been a bit slower lately due to a large amount of funerals and parties in our area. As for this upcoming week we are having stake conference and zone conference so I'm super excited for it.

Anyways love y'all and hope everyone has a blessed week! Kalahngan oh I poakpoake kumwail koaros!

Katchin up in Kitti

 Kaselehlie maing ko!


This weeks recap:
- exchanges with APs
- more exchanges
- church popped off

So this week was pretty good, we had lots of exchanges so that was fun. We also had really good church attendance and the people were really engaged during the 2nd hour of classes. We had some success this week with lessons going through for some of the families we had made appointments for. 

This next week we will trio up because the zone leaders are going to Guam. That's about it for this week, no other news. Hey, our prophets almost 100 so that's pretty cool. Anyway, love y'all and hope everyone has a mwahu douluhl week!

 Kaselehlie maing ko!


Mwohn mehkoaros I men wia ahi tungoal kaping oh wahu pwehki sahmatail nanleng me kin ketikihong kitailehr esingek en mour.

This week was alright. There was ups & downs, some days pretty good, some days not so much. Sunday was fun because I got to meet most of the branch members for the first time. The branch members are awesome!

Stay tuned for this upcoming week:
• EXCHANGES WITH THE AP'S!
• MORE FINDING!
• POTENTIALLY GETTING FOOD FROM MEMBERS!?!?

Anyways that's all I got for now. Also no pics sorry I forgot. I will make sure to take a lot for next week to make up for it.
