Another excellent week in the world of Pee-Wee Herman.
Tuesday was supposed to a split, but a meeting interrupted it so we
called it off. We met this guy from Abaiang that I know. He was
surprised that I can actually speak his language now. We started
teaching his cousin though which was pretty good.
Wednesday was rough, despite the great district council we had. I
had to do a bunch of interviews with people that are getting trained in
my district, and those that are training. The trainer is not a fan of
structured interviews, but I had a form to fill
out. So I had to work hard to get some content on that thing. But that
took up a lot of the day. We moved that night into a new house.
Thursday morning we woke up and realized that we had nothing in our
house. We spent all that morning finishing the move. We then made a
huge pile of stuff that we needed to burn, because it was just random
stuff Elders had previously left behind.
Friday was pretty cool, we collaborated with the Senior couple from
Tonga to find some new people to teach. People listen to old people a
lot more than they do to teenagers. Surprising huh. After that we had a
baptismal interview, both candidates passed.
Saturday started well, but a storm came that was pretty nuts. Part
of a tree fell on our new house, but there was no damage. Our district
did, despite this, have two baptisms. But basically only the people
being baptized came, and the bishops.
Anyways, I've been learning about perspective a lot this week. Not
necessarily from the scriptures, but from my companion. I've kind of
accepted that my main goal here is to teach my companion more than the
people here. It has changed the things I say
and how I treat other people. I guess perspective goes a long way.
