Another wonderful week on the Island of Pohnpei. We were able to go out with the Elders twice this week. We love every opportunity to share the gospel with Pohnpeians as the Elders teach. There were two baptisms this week with four scheduled for next week. We hope you enjoy the pictures of one of the baptisms.
We celebrated the 4th of July at the US Embassy. Elder LeFevre and Elder Vincent gave the prayers. We talked to the Ambassador for a little while. She was so nice. They fed us hot dogs, hamburgers, baked beans, carrots and dip. We enjoyed cookies and cupcakes for dessert. Elder Chandler was going to pray in the Congress next week, but we will be in Guam at Couples Conference.
Church was so amazing this Sunday. We went to the Palikir Branch. Patterson was bearing his testimony and wanted us to be there to hear him. He is a 41 year old convert of almost a year.
Sister Chandler bore her testimony a little in Pohnpeain. She pronounced some words wrong, but no one laughed. Sunday School, Priesthood and Relief Society were spiritual! We just can not believe we are here. Such a blessing to us. We love you all.
We are so happy to see the exciting things you are doing. Isn't it amazing how you can jump right in and be totally involved in people's lives? Stay healthy and enjoy every minute of your time in Pohnpei. Love and hugs, Judy and Carl
