Mauri everyone!
The subject line pretty much sums up the week. I got transferred to Teaoraereke, just two villages down from my previous village of Ambo. I'm training Elder Wilson from Oregon who just arrived from America. We're also whitewashing, which means both of us are new to the area, which means we get the fun job of figuring out the area on our own and finding all of our investigators (you can only imagine how fun that is with there being no such thing as addresses in Kiribati).
It's been a fun experience, though. Going into it, I thought there was no way I could train, at least not without the help of the Lord. I was never really someone to take the lead beforehand, but now that I've been placed into this position, I've discovered I actually can take the lead. Luckily I'm on the Lord's errand. I've felt him strengthening me everything step of the way.
Things have been going well. This past week we spent a lot of time finding our investigators. The sisters who worked here before left us with some really solid investigators that are pretty close to baptism, so that's exciting. We haven't found everyone yet, but we're going close. Hopefully things continue to go well for us.
Thank you all so much for all your prayers and support! I tatangiringkami!
