Our week was so great again!! We did splits with the Elders teaching Jheila again. She will be baptized on August 3rd. She is a golden contact. Loves the Gospel with all of her heart and can hardly wait to be baptized. We are having 8 baptisms on the island today. The work is rolling forward with such amazing Sisters and Elders at the helm. Wow are they the best!
We had Zone Conference with President and Sister Mecham. Wednesday was a wonderful day with their loving instruction. Oh how they love us and gave us straight talk to do the work of the Lord! We went to the Pohnpei legislature for a quick devotional given by our District Presidency Wednesday morning also. They loved it and wanted us to come again!
We Senior couples have divided up to do home inspections of all missionary companionships. Only one home passed the Rubster's eye that Elder Chandler and I inspected. Ouch!! I even went easy on them! Maybe next time. The winner of our group gets a home cooked meal. We will look forward to having them in our home for spam over easy. (Tee Hee)
We posted early, because we are headed to Guam for a week of training. The plane is already 8 hours late, so we have lost a day of shopping. Couples look forward to this once every 6 month trip to stock up on groceries that you can not get on Pohnpei.
On the lighter side. We have had an interesting week with the termites. Termite larva in our bed! They are eating our cupboards and our dresser too. Last week we threw out our box springs they had infested. Tiny little ants roam freely on the kitchen counter. Permethrin has become our best friend! The power goes out for hours regularly. You never know how good the food in the frig is! This mornings powdered milk (which we mixed yesterday) was sour already. Such fun.
The natives love to feed you. WAY TOO MUCH! Elder Chandler is not too fond of some things! Surprise! Surprise! I end up eating more so we do not offend! Not good for the waist line! We had FHE at an Uh family's home. They treated us like royalty! We gave the lesson, danced and Elder Chandler entertained telling his super glue story with actions with one of the uh Elder's telling the story in Pohnpeian mimicking Elder Chandler. It was the funniest thing I have ever seen Elder Chandler do! Now he has requests all over the island!!
WE LOVE OUR MISSION! WE LOVE OUR SAVIOR!!
What a great day to be baptized! We will celebrate with her as we blow out birthday candles :) Loved your post this week. We can't hardly wait to wake up Sunday mornings and read what you have done all week. It sounds like such an amazing place. I am anxious for Trek to be finished so we can focus on Jake's Eagle Project and see what we can do to help these sweet people. Happy Traveling to Guam and enjoy the shopping. Love you!
