Hope everyone is doing great! The work is still doing strong here in Teaoraereke. We're staying very busy with lots of progressing investigators. We should have several people baptisms these coming weeks. Will keep you updated when happen.
Fun little story I thought I'd share. Background information, Kiribati people are way shy when it comes to new people, so getting them to church can be almost impossible if they don't have someone they know. One of our investigators, Nnee, disappeared right after sacrament meeting. We had told her we would lead her to the YSA class afterwards since she was pretty shy about going to class. Luckily her house is right next to the chapel, so we quickly walked to her house and found her there. She started laughing knowing full well she had tried to run away, but failed. Defeated, she walked back with us to the YSA class. On the way, we caught two more of our investigators trying to run away, Taatuu and Mwaetaake, two young adult girls in Teaeka's family, because they were also too shy to go into the YSA class. Also defeated, they walked back with us to the YSA class. They now have friends and everything is all good with them.
I also went on an exchange with Elder Anani on Thursday and got to work with him in Ambo for the day. I got to see several of my recent converts, which was great.
Not much else to highlight on for now. I tatangiringkami! Thank you all so much for everything!
