THE END

 Kaselehlie Maing Ko!


Yes, it's true. This really is the end. This week was very bittersweet and full of many mixed emotions. I was so glad to be able to say goodbye to the members and people on Pohnpei. It was very hard to say goodbye, but I am so grateful to have served the people on the Micronesian islands. This week we stayed on Guam for a few days. We got to go to the temple and have our departing testimonies at the mission home. Our flight actually got delayed so we got to stay and proselyte an extra day. It was actually a blessing because we got to help do baptisms at the temple and we had a great amount of success that day. I am so thankful for all the things I learned and all the miracles I was able to witness. I know that my own testimony was strengthened, and I grew in my understanding of the gospel and gained a deeper conversion of my Savior Jesus Christ. I was able to see firsthand the love of God in the hearts of the people as King Benjamin described. I truly felt peace and joy from serving the Lord and helping others come unto Him. I know this work is true and I testify that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore His church to the earth. I know the Book of Mormon can change lives and I testify that if you read it and follow Moroni's invitation it will change yours. I kapingki mehlel ansou mwahu i kak wia ahi pwukoan misineri. Inenen kalangahnki mehn Pohnpei pwon oh arail limpaok oh pwoson kehlail. I ese doadoahket keieu kesempwal nan mour wet. I kadehde mehpwukat ni mwaren Jesus Christ, Amen.

The final week

 Yes. That's correct. It is the final week here in Pohnpei. Am I sad? Yes, very. Am I glad I had this time to serve the Lord's people here? Totally! I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Now it's time to absolutely grind and finish off strong!


As for updates, this last  week Latanya got baptized! It was awesome to see her make that covenant. As for this week we are gonna try to put another person on date per guidance of the spirit. I also got to go on exchanges in Kitti and Wone. They were awesome and spirit led exchanges for sure!

I'm so grateful you all could read these emails during my time here. Thanks for every single one of y'all! Keep being awesome and remember that God loves you always! Poakpoake kumwail koaros!
