maybe we all knew eachother in the pre-exsistence/more and more. who are ready to be baptized.

Hoi eveyone, The MTC has still be super awesome, The language is coming along a little bit every day, the gift of tounges is so real, I've learned more dutch here, than i did chinese at highschool in two years haha, My companions are super cool, and We're always cracken up quite a bit, It's super cool, before my mission i listened to so much music, but now that i'm here I feel like there's even more music in my life, I'm either singing something as we're going somewhere, and whenever we sing hymns for a devotional i get super stoked, The spirit is so strong when we sing, I know that the hymns are inspired, another cool thing is, is it feels like i recognize so many of the people here, and they say they feel like they recognize me too, maybe we all knew eachother in the pre-exsistence. haha, anyway love you all, I know the church is true and that God will give us help and strength as we keep the commandments.

 Dear mom
Sorry this computer doesn't hab the letters that i'm not usin in my
email on the key board so im tryin to find ways not to use those
letters like usin synonyms of words that i wanted to say or by makin
up a new word that resembles the word that i wanted to type haha.
cool to hear about eberythin happenin in america. 
The transfer has had a bit of problems in the past with fallin throuh
but we were able to make it out! APs said they prayed hard. we
definitely did. and that's also to you and the fam for prayin! i
imajin the timin was rit for it happenin now. well. we'b been here for
a few days now. thins are doin pretty awesome. the members here are
awesome! and there are a few people. we keep findin more and more. who
are ready to be baptized. kids of members. and also some adult couples
and what not.
It's cool bein outer islands. it's always weird to contemplate what
makes tarawa different from outer islands. there's less man made stuff
here. it's pretty much a forest with clear areas for houses. there's a
clump of houses maybe 10 min walk lenth and then forest for another 10
min. the whole island is about 50 min bike ride south from our house
and then maybe 30 min north. 80 minutes from end to end. which is a
pretty awesome size. it's pretty lon but not too lon. well were tryin
to do our best. we'b only hab a few weeks here. next sunday and then
the sunday after that is our last sunday here. we'll be ridin all ober
tryin to lesson with people. strenthen the members. find fellowship. 2
weeks isn't much time to try to help someone who's not ready for
baptism be ready. we'll mainly be workin with those who are ready. who
hab come to church before and keep some commandments. if there are a
lot that want lessons who need a bit more time maybe they will keep
elders out here but we're not sure if that's what they want. we're
just workin toward the end of the two weeks for now. but yeah. we're
definitely not perfect elders but it's cool to see blessins that's
what we're hopin for in our time out here. I'm much appreciatin as
well all the nature here it's really cool. There are a lot less people
here as well. which i suppose is another difference. In bij cities
people see lot of other people maybe bcome sick of them. Here thouh
people always seem to be excited to see people. It's kind of like the
difference between country life and city life. There's lots of
differences.
Any way. Thanks mom for eberythin. sorry this keyboard is way bad. lob
yous all hab an awesome week! I wrote to scott. SOunds like he's doin
awesome! well ti a bo much luck in america!!! - ELder SEffker
