kainikatonga

We had a baptism last week and the person was baptized/confirmed by his older half-brother. This guy's half-brother, Irate (pronounced ee-raa-tay) is actually not an angry guy, he is a convert to the church who is one of the most faithful people I know. He works on a boat for 11 month periods (I don’t know how many times he has done it), but right now he and his wife are trying to go to the temple. We had a temple class and he showed up, where he brought his passport and temple recommend which he just renewed for the 3rd time. He was told that he might have to wait 6 weeks for the paperwork to be done, which would mean postponing possibly his departure for a boat, and he said, in English, "This is more important", referring to going to the temple. Just a really cool person. Also his child's name is Randall, so that's cool too.

Word of the week: kainikatonga- pride

Don’t be prideful, it causes contention!

Pictures will come next week, sorry for not sending them now.
