Hello,
Tarawa is
going really good. Our families we have found have been good, and we are seeing
good things happen.
One of our
favorite families is Temwakei and Kuanga. At
first Temwakei was super into lessons and Kuanga wasn't, but now Kuanga is all
for lessons. They still have a lot to
work on, but I have a good feeling about them. A couple of our other families have been
really hard getting times with, but we will keep working with them.
Tracking is
going pretty good. We have been finding
some less actives and such. These last
few months we have been really trying to get a lot of people at the rescue for
the ward. Last week at church I got
pretty strict with all the men in the ward and told them they needed to be
coming to them. We normally only have
like 2 ward members with us, but last week we had 10+ people at the rescue! And yesterday at the church the man and his
wife me and this guy from the ward visited came back to church! He had
an issue with the ward that he has never told anybody until we came and visited
him, so we were glad he talked to us. Another
less active guy named Ieremia came back to church after a couple visits with
him! It was really good to see him
there.
Transfers
are going on right now and during this coming week, and I will no longer be
working with Elder Parry. My new companion
will be Elder Bonney. His dad I think is in the military and so he is from like
all over the world. I am not sure where
he is actually from but I will find out.
He will be coming from Tarawaieta on Wednesday and Elder Parry will be
going out to replace him. Elder Guy
from our house is going to Kuria and Elder Lutz is getting a new kid. So our
house will be quite different after this new week.
Thank you
for sharing Elder Ballard’s talk. I
completely agree with him. There are so
many members of church that are willing to come to church, but they don't read
scriptures or pray or pay tithing or do the things they should be doing. Back
home I never really read my scriptures or prayed much, so I am definitely going
to live differently when I get home. It is
so important to keep growing your testimony every day. There are so many things to learn out there
that we don't know so we just need to keep studying and learning. The church is a crazy cool organization that
just works out so well. Too well that it
couldn't be run without inspiration from the Lord. I know it is the true church on the
earth.
You asked
what I do for P-Days. Well, for P-Days I
just do whatever. This morning we woke
up at 4 in the morning, did wash and then went to Betio, grabbed Elder Kaibakia
who is going to New Zealand to go to the MTC and then to Papua New Guinea to go
to his mission and we took him to the airport.
So I have been pretty busy. Mainly I spend my P-Day doing wash, I clean
and email and then we play volleyball or something like that. If we have any errands to run we do that as
well.
What do we
eat is Tarawa? We eat a lot of chicken on Tarawa, not really
anything crazy like my other areas.
I wish I had
some funny story, but I don't. I have been having a really fun week overall
and I am loving missionary work!
I hope you
all have a good week.
Elder
Dinsdale
