*** June 19, 2004 JOURNAL: Last Night In Guam (for now?)
I can't believe it's almost been a week already (since the MTC). All the elders from our district are gone to their respective assigned areas already. Elder Wright - Saipan, Elder Barker - Palau, Elder Morris and Elder Christensen are staying here along with Sister Wagstafff and Sister Fusi (who came from the New Zealand MTC). NO actual times for good byes. Kind of sad but probably for the better. As for me, I'm alright. I just can't wait to get to work. It's been slow here, mostly because of training/orientation messing with the possibility of any real scheduling.
I leave for Pohnpei Monday morning. I'm pretty excited I get to learn a new language! I'm determined to get this language. It sounds complicated to my ears, but the people around me say it's an easy language to pick up on. BRING IT!
6 May 2013 Yet Another Sunday Review with Weekend Photo Dump
Yesterday was Fast and Testimony Meeting Sunday. A visitor, Brother Whiting, shared his testimony. He said the morning of his flight his son took him to the airport. His son gave him a Book of Mormon and challenged him to place it during his trip. After the plane took of a girl asked if Brother Whiting would switch seats with her so she could sit next to her family. He begrudgingly agreed. He noted his new seat partner was writing in her journal and studying her bible. As they talked about their respective religions, he shared with her the Book of Mormon. The lady said that morning after she said her prayers she meant to bring a novel with her but she had the distinct impression that she should leave her novel home because someone on the plane would give her a book to read. Cornelius is alive and well where ever we go!
Last night I got to join a lesson with the sister missionaries in Makakilo ward. It was with a lady from Pohnpei. It was a good lesson. It showed me that my language skills are somewhat wanting. It's time to get back at it and work on keeping up my language skills! In future posts I plan on having a translated section and hopefully some of my friends can help me with accuracy.
