Dog Tasers!!! (20 November 2016)

Hey Mom!

This week went by super fast for some reason! Let me get started with
all of your questions in order:

The work is doing great. It picked up a lot these past weeks but now
that we have built a solid foundation of progressing investigators it
has slowed a little bit. One of our investigators came to church
yesterday! I was beaming the whole time!

We had no baptisms this week. I have only had one baptism so far on
the mission (someone I taught all the lessons to and extended a
baptismal date that has been completed) pics will be coming today! I
got to baptize someone on Saturday! It was one of the sister's
investigators. Messed up three times. She is now three times less
sinful :)

Rumors are starting to surface, yes. You will know where I am going
not next P Day, but the P Day after that. Rumors are that Wakefield is
going back to Lae and needs a companion, and they are opening up Kili
(never opened before) and Alinglaplap (closed last year). With all the
exposing of the bad things it seems like this transfer is gonna be
crazy!

Elder Kendrick is a stud. He really is passionate about the people we
teach and his problems are that he wants to say things because he
loves the investigators, but he doesn't quite yet have the vocabulary
to translate them into Marshallese.

Elder Koleni and maybe Elder Helgenberger. I live with Koleni and I
used to live with helgenberger. Koleni lives in Samoa so packages
there will be super expensive. He hasn't gotten any packages yet.
Helgenberger's family doesn't talk to him that much because they are
so busy and it makes me sad because he reminds me of Cullen so much.
Just send nerf guns thats it for Koleni. Helgenberger will love
anything. Koleni might be tagged as one of those, its about 95% sure.

I did get the package on Saturday! DOG TASER HAHAHAHA! I didn't think
it worked that well until one came bounding toward us and I pressed
the button and it sat immediately, turned, and ran away! HAHA!! I am
FEARLESS! I am super scared that the mission office will hold that 12
days package. They said they are holding ALL packages starting
December 1 and then giving ONE out on Christmas Day, then the rest
January 2. Like, what?!

We will be able to Skype, just 40 minutes, so for a FHE just each one
of y'all make a list of questions that you want to ask me :)

I have noticed a little backlash. My trainer doesn't acknowlexge my
existence. I get a few glares from others but that's about it. And
rumors that certain people het me but I don't care about it.

That is awesome to hear about CULLEN! Ugh I miss that kid so much! The
funny thing is the language is getting a little easier and now I
think, jerawiwi, of course that means sin everyone can guess that.
Then I think about going home and saying, ej jet am mour? and you guys
thinking: what the flip is that kid saying?? haha!

Congrats on the interview! You are totally gonna get it I have no
doubt haha! Keep up the INCREDIBLE work! Glad you enjoyed Oregon! I
really miss the states. Expired food is here all the time, steak, etc.
:( BUT IT WILL FLY!


Love you so much mom and hope that everything is going well at home!
