Not a super eventful week.
Went on splits with someone from my MTC district, Elder
Angilau. We agreed that is was fun to see that we were both good at the
language, because we both remembered a time when we were hopelessly bad.
So we decided to speak in Kiribati the whole
day. I've tried to do this before, but usually when I try, my
companion will respond to me in English, so I just give up. But we
actually went through the whole day. Went pretty well.
Also went on splits with Elder Holman for two days in a
row. The first day was because his companion had been sick for the
previous 5 days, sonI had compassion on him and took him out to work.
The second day was because both of our companions
were sickish and for the sake of efficiency we went together again.
He's a very good Elder, I learned a bunch from him.
It would feel amiss if I didn't mention my own
companion. He has had the feeling recently that he will be leaving for
an outer island soon, so he packed one of his bags. He's been waiting in
anticipation for transfers ever since. I did have
an impromptu meeting with the assistants, and when I told them that,
they told me to tell him to unpack his bags. He is still hoping to go
though.
Sunday was pretty interesting with the whole
extra-contagious flu plague going on. All the missionaries in the
district gathered at our house and we had a version of church. It went
pretty well, we same 3 hymns in 2 different languages. Also
COVID19 has not come to Kiribati, so don't worry about me for no reason
just yet.
We picked up some people with a lot of questions, which
doesn't happen oft. The first thing they said to us though is that they
can't quit smoking, but I told her she could. Also the woman is the
first female kava drinker I've ever met.
We should have 4 baptisms by the end of this month, so we're doing well.
I I tangiringkami and I still haven't got any questions from anyone.
