Hey Mom!
I love seeing these pictures thanks you so much!!! What happened to Shane's hand that made him need 17 stitches??? That sounds crazy. He's always been such a hard worker that I can't imagine he'll actually slow down much at all. He's in my prayers! Tarheels won? Of course they did. Blessing from serving a mission come in many more forms than one! I am still in the process of getting used to my new area, so many things continue to feel different, fun and exciting. I am enjoying stronger relationships with members and investigators and am giving my best effort in doing my own little part in building the Lord's kingdom. The work is going well. This week we have done lots of tracting, had a Zone Meeting, witnessed the marriage of one of our investigators, helped ordain a father and his son to the Aaronic Priesthood, had two investigators baptized, watched General Conference, helped a Sister get her Patriarchal blessing, etc. A lot of the focus of this past week has been centered on preparing our two investigators for their baptisms. Their names are Nei Eema and Nei Kaikai. Eema is a fifteen-year-old girl who lives with a strong member family. She loves to read in the Book of Mormon and I often find myself trying to keep up with how fast she reads. Last time we checked she was cruising through the Book of Mosiah while I was learning the vocabulary in Jacob 5 to talk to a Kiribati botanist should such a crucial need ever present itself to me. Kaikai is in her mid-20's and has been very busy. This past week we helped her get divorced from her previous spouse, witnessed her marriage to her current spouse and saw her baptized the day thereafter. Eema and Kaikai were baptized by Ten Toromon, a recent RM from the PHilippines who has been really instrumental in helping us Elders in our missionary work. I am super blessed to have been a witness of their special baptisms and resultant radiating happiness. For our Preparation activity today we are going to walk out on the coral at low tide and use small nets to try and catch some octopus and/or small fish to cook and eat for dinner. I'll be excited to let you know how that goes next week. My mission has been such a great experience in so many ways. Thank you so much Mom for leading me and guiding me to this point in my life. I love you so much and hope you have a great week! Elder Morphonios
