Family ua tongeikemi chapur!
This one might be a little short because madness has broken out in Chuuk. After getting ready for bed on Sunday, I got a call from Elder Hill which rocked my world. Early transfers! He first informed me that he was being transferred to Guam to be Zone Leader and then informed me that taking his spot as Zone Leader would be me. I had almost started crying when he said he was going to Guam, but than I practically fell over when he said that I would be Zone Leader. Man, I don’t know what’s going on. But I’ll be in Mwan now, and I suppose you guys will get a letter before this gets to you anyway. Super weird, and I’m going to miss Macky so much!
So right now I‘m pulling Zone and District Leader positions because we don’t have a new District Leader yet. Man, so that’s crazy and I don’t know what I’m doing, but that seems to happen a lot and I always seem to make it out alive, and that’s only because of the Lords help. So, once again I’ll put full trust in the Lord and at least I know I’ll come out alive. Ha
Your letters are amazing and I love you all. My bad it’s so short but I have loads to figure out in less than a day. Ha Stay good looking :)

Famini!!
It was great talking to you all on the phone! You all sound great!
District Conference was good. We had an attendance of 341 total, that’s from all the branches. Zone Conference was even better! Elder Stevenson gave a good training, and it’s always amazing to be around President Dowdle. President Dowdle’s love for us missionaries is indescribable, it emanates from him. He is an inspired man and the opportunity to serve under his guidance is amazing. I love him!
Nothing much has gone on this week. We came in on Friday to Muan, and I won’t return to Wichap until Wednesday evening. We had District Conference on Saturday and Sunday with Zone Conference on Monday, P-Day on Tuesday and an exchange with the Zone Leaders on Wednesday. Six days in total and five were with 8 -10 elders sleeping lined up in a tiny house, and man that can get hot.
So work wise not much has happened in the form of teaching lessons and finding investigators and such. But we have learned many things that will be able to benefit our work. It’s Chuuk and things definitely happen different than in other missions, but I enjoy every second!
Because I’m District Leader, I get to interview baptismal candidates for the areas in my district. It means Friday I don’t spend much time in my area but It’s exciting to see the preparation of investigators for their first ordinance.
Elder Stevenson felt inspired to talk to us about keeping our thoughts virtuous. He said a great way (and possibly the best) to keep virtue with us is to memorize scriptures, hymns, or inspirational quotes/poems. I think that is a kick-awesome idea, but I’m already a step behind you Dad. You’re already doing good stuff like that which is impressive. I’m starting as soon as I get back to Wichap. When my mind is not on the work it can wander pretty easily, but with things I’m trying to memorize I’ll be able to keep my thoughts on spiritual things. It’s simple but I’m super pumped about it, it’s going to rock my world!
Nothing exciting happening, but I’ll be sure to let you know when it does happen. Thank you for all your love and support.

Nepong ai famini mi fakkun mesei och!
I need to tell you all straight up that you are all way good looking! Holy moly! Those Easter pictures were kick-awesome amazing! I’m not sure I recognize anybody but Mom from those pictures. I’m starting to think that I’m the odd one out. I’m almost positive that I’m giving away all my looks to you guys, you’re all very welcome.
Last Sunday Thomas gave a talk in Sacrament meeting (member of 2 weeks) and he hit it out of the park! It was better than most “long time” member talks that I’ve heard in Chuuk.
For some crazy reason I was made District Leader. Did I already tell you guys that? Well today I had my first District Meeting that I trained at. I rocked it, only because the Lord was helping me. I trained on Finding, but with enthusiasm! Finding isn’t always the most fun thing to do, but it’s necessary and if done with enthusiasm even bearable. Ha
I get more retarded in English every day, I can hardly write my thoughts on paper in a unified train of thoughts. I’m all over the place. But I freaking love you guys!
You wrote a book Dad!? Man you’re a stud. That’s sweet. Mom you still look 36. Kelsey that picture scared me to death. McKenzie you’re the tallest sibling at home! Wow! Zach, you’re looking good I hope the ladies aren’t a problem. Sydnee you have teeth! You have two front teeth, holy moly, that’s weird!
