Hi Mom!
I’m excited to tell you about this past week or so. The work here in Nikunau where I am has been going really great. I think that Heavenly Father is truly smiling down upon his pioneer children here in this choice part of His vineyard. This past week Bwauro was baptized. He is thirteen years old and the son of recent converts Rewii and Kateia. It has beena huge blessing to me to watch him progress and find greater meaning and happiness in learning and applying the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He is very much like a little brother to me and I know he has a bright future ahead of him. The Assistants to the President came to Nikunau on Monday(Which is why my P-day was switched to today) and stayed until Wednesday. Their main purpose in coming was to help our members prepare for the branch that is going to be established in April, news of which created a lot of excitement. We had a botaki both nights the Assistants were here with lots of good food, Kiribati dance performances and everyone from the church. The church effort has gained a lot of momentum recently. This past week there were more people at church than any other church service in the island’s two year history. Also, a cargo ship came yesterday, bearing noodles, sugar, some canned meats but more importantly former branch President Tanaua and his family along with Kateinang and Taakie. Kateinang is the father of recent converts Teemeri, Tien and Tauai and Taakie is their sister. Taakie already has a baptismal date for April 1st. We gained 18 new investigators this week and our goal is to have 5 investigators at church with 75 people total on Sunday. My companion and I are working on making arrangements to fly to Beru this upcoming Wednesday. It is another outer island close to Nikunau. Elder Baker spent the first six months of his mission there. Beru already has a branch but Elders were taken off the island just because the branch was kind of fragmented and the work was really slow. We have been assigned to go there so we can do an audit and determine whether the island is prepared to have Elders return and work there. It should be a fun adventure. I love the people here so much. I think that God called me to these awesome people so that I could have the opportunity to learn from their Christ-like characters. I’ve found so much happiness in living and learning along my Kiribati family. I love you so so much Mom! Please send my love to the family! Elder Morphonios
