Hello everyone!

This week wasn't quite as crazy as last week but it was still pretty interesting. On Saturday, my comp got his flight plans to leave Sunday afternoon to go back to Tonga. So on Sunday he went to all of the church meetings to say goodbye to everyone- so we were wheeling him around in the wheelchair (it was like an XL size). So we had to ride the elevator, and 2 other elders from my district and 2 more from my zone went on the elevator. Two missionaries thought it would be funny to jump a little bit- it wasn't really too funny when we got stuck - 6 missionaries, one of which was sick and sitting in a giant wheelchair. And apparently not too happy to be stuck for about 15 minutes- he actually started tearing up the carpet and punching the walls- he also hit the call button like 3 times even though we had already called them. It was pretty intense- I would not recommend it for a Sabbath day activity.

On Tuesday we had a devotional where Elder Bednar spoke and 9 other apostles sat on the stand! It was pretty cool. He talked about how we need to plant in our hearts the word of God, and the Word of God actually is Jesus Christ, which he proved using like 10 different scripture references. Just a cool experience.

Probably the most spiritual thing that happened for me this week was when we went to teach the member at TRC and the TRC coordinator informed us that he had accidentally requested Marshallese speaking members rather than Kiribati speaking members. So we got to teach in English! And it was kind of weird to be honest- but I talked so much because I could actually answer the questions- when we started talking about the Book of Mormon, I could really feel the Spirit and it was pretty cool.

Read the Book of Mormon every day! It is the word of God, and He wants to answer your prayers!

Other than that, no ER trips and no surgeries.
