This week has
flown by, but the days have gone slow. The language is kind of a
struggle, but I am learning to be patient with myself. I know that with
my Heavenly Father's help, I will learn it and understand in time.
Patience is HUGE!! I still have a lot to learn about patience, but I
have also learned a lot. A lot of it is just relaxing, and recognizing
you are in the Lord's hands.
This week will
be... Charity. Fitting, I think, for the week before Christmas. I
encourage all of you to go out and serve, help someone-- anyone. I know
as you do, you will be blessed just as much as those you help.

I don't have a lot of time today. We are going to go on a hike to a waterfall!! I will send pics next week.
I
don't know if I mentioned this in my last email, but Elder Pond is my
district leader. He is pretty cool. He cares very much about the people
and is dedicated to the missionary work.
Sister
Fehoko is my companion. She is from Tonga. She is hilarious! She loves
to have fun (as you can tell in the picture of her with her face painted
like a clown haha), but is also very good at teaching: Teaching me, and
the investigators.
I love the people here.
They are so kind. The only really hard part is that I cannot understand
what they are saying most of the time. It's hard to know what to teach
when you don't know what they are saying... But that's what the Spirit
is for, no? I continue to learn every day how to listen to the Spirit,
and how Heavenly Father talks to me, personally.
Oh!!
Speaking of Sister Fehoko though.... It was hilarious. She hates
lizards. Last week, we got home and we were setting stuff down in the
kitchen. I looked down and saw a lizard. I was like, "Don't look!" She
ran to the other side of the kitchen. I tried to catch it but those
buggers are fast! He ran towards her and she screamed and ran to our
room and shut the door. I chased it up the wall and it went to the
window. The cup I had wouldn't fit behind the bars, so I grabbed a
magazine and guided it back down to the corner. Then I nudged its tail
and it climbed onto the magazine. I took it outside, hoping it wouldn't
jump on me haha. It was super funny though.
I
got my first taste of Pohnpeian rain this week. When it rains, it pours!
It can be sunny, then within like 20 minutes it'll dump rain suddenly.
Then, just as fast, it stops. It's crazy!
Anyway.. I am out of time. I poakpoakekumwail!!
