The subject title pretty much sums up how great these past two weeks were.
So last week, as shipment of ice cream came in, and we were able to buy some twice for two of our dinners. You can see my sheer joy in the attached photo. One carton cost us $16, but it was totally worth it.
Also another new interesting food item to add to my list is eel. It tastes really good, but there's so many bones that it makes it really tough to eat.
Yesterday was also fun because I helped teach Elder Bataua how to use a clutch for the first time. I had figured if I were to get transferred, someone needed to be able to drive the motorcycle to Kuma every Sunday. We stopped at a stretch of road where no people or houses were at. He was rightfully nervous, but he picked it up very quickly.
I also just found out today that I'm getting transferred the end of this month, but I don't know where to, yet. It's been a great time in Butaritari with lots of great people. Time has gone by REALLY fast, and I'm thankful that that time was spent serving the Lord. One thing I've gained that I wish I had before my mission is confidence, not only in myself, but also in the Lord. Heavenly Father knows us each perfectly and knows what is best for us. As long as remain worthy to hear the promptings of the Spirit, the Lord will always be right by our side. Never once has our Father ever said, "Whoops, didn't mean to let that happen." God knows our eternal potential, and if we follow His will, we can reach it.
Thank you for all your support! I tangiringkami!
