Abaiang

Elder Farner was transferred to Abaiang  (Abaiang means "the land to the north"); this is the only outer island that has Sister missionaries on it and there are a total of 4 missionaries serving there. The Elders serve in the tips of the island and the Sisters serve in the middle of the island.

His new companion is Elder Wright from Spanish Fork, Utah and he has been out on his mission since January 2018.  They bike about 20 miles a day and live at the hotel.  He has a thin mattress to sleep on but doesn't use it as he says it is like lying on an oven, so he just sleeps on a mat.

In this new area Elder Farner communicates via text on a phone borrowed from a member.  He is doing well and heads home on June 13th, 2019.
