the gospel has helped their little baby as well

Mauri mauri!
So this week has been good also, me and my comp had a bit of sickness,
but only for a few days. And we also weren't sick for district
meeting, which was a blessing. This week I worked with Elder Gila, and
also Elder Tiakia a little bit. Elder Gila is my comp., and when he
was sick, I worked with Elder Tiakia. Elder Tiakia is awesome, he goes
home this thursday. He's really good at speaking gilbertese, he's an
awesome teacher, friendly, he's really cool. He's from new zealand,
part samoan. He's really funny as well. But yeah he'll be leaving our
house this thursday. Meaning there will only be 3 elders for one of
our areas, meaning we're gonna try to line up a lot of splits,
especially because one of them is sick, so if we don't get a split
none of them can leave, cause someone's got to stay in the house with
the sick Elder. We asked a few YSA on Sunday, hopefully it should be
good. So we were gonna do a marriage this week with a couple who their
marriage paper just came. We were gonna have bishop do the marriage.
Unfortunately it fell through at the very end, the wife wasn't quite
ready, were not quite sure what her problem was. We were suprised a
bit because they asked us to line up their marriage and then they
weren't ready but it's not too much of a problem. Hopefully they get
married later on, they're gonna talk to us this week. But so we went
to bishop after that explained the situation to him, it went well. His
son is coming back from his mission as well this teusday. He told us a
story of how his son just recently got in a car crash, 8 missionaries
in a van. their car rolled 3 times. But, no one even had hardly a
scratch. The only thing that happened was their son had a little
scratch from glass on his eyebrow. So yeah, that was pretty
miraculous. But then he told a story he'd heard also about
missionaries who were driving and they got in a crash and there were
tons of injuries and stuff, even deaths. It's way sad. He attributed
it to his son and them wearing seat belts, as he thinks was the case.
It's way to bad to hear about sad stories, cool though how his son and
them seemed to all have been wearing seat belts, obedience definitely
is important, even the small rules. Well, sacrament meeting was way
awesome! We haven't seen Bwatio in a while because he had a few
problems happen and he was in a different city for a while. But he
randomly showed up to church, which was sooo awesome! It was so cool
to see him, he's got a way good heart, man, he apparently has faith
that this church is where he needs to be, so now we've got a time with
him for this teusday. Eena and Tebwebweia and their little baby came.
I think part of their testimony is how much the gospel has helped
their little baby as well. It's definitely part of Eena's, he shared
that ever since they started learning the gospel, their baby hasn't
really had bad fevers as was the case before that. It's so true what
mom always says when she's like "Heavenly Father is so good", we heard
tons of way awesome testimonies in testimony meeting about tender
mercies, and truths the people shared that definitely testify of this.
It was a way great testimony meeting. The sickness has been rough this
week a bit, but I really didn't want to be sick and I was blessed only
to have been sick for not even two days! Elder Gila had really short
time being sick as well. A mwaiti kakabwaia iaora! So how is Scott's
language learning coming along? haha, No questions yet as far as
mission prep? How's the working out mom and dad? You guys run a lot?
Still go to the junior high? Well, love ya guys!!! Thanks so much for
all the prayers, they are very effective! Well, ti a bo! - Elder
