SERVING IN THE MICRONESIA GUAM MISSION
"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." -Helaman 5:12

threesome and a time capsule


Ranineem Ai Famini

How are you? I am doing great! No, I did not get transferred, I'm still on Saipan. My area changed a little bit! I am.......in a threesome! so crazy! I am with Elder Cook and Elder Early in the CK area and the San Jose area, we are covering two areas. Fun! We are so busy and we are doing really good.

Ben, our investigator, does not have a baptismal date set yet. He has little ability to speak english so we have to take it slowly! But as missionaries we are working hard and having fun. Its hilarious being with these guys, all three of us get along really well. We had this really funny 3 hour discussion about the elements and soy milk powder. It was really dumb but it was funny! Man, I am doing so good!

Thanks for sending me a copy of the talk you gave in stake conference mom, it was awesome! I am glad grandpa and Laura came to support you.

I feel so old now, its insane. It feels like I have been here forever. We are trying to work with the Bishop and the ward council more. Because I have been on the island so long, the bishop called me an old fart.

It was awesome to fly to Guam last week for Zone Conference. Elder Stevenson (visiting from SLC) gave us lots of training! He's funny and really awesome. He always says "oh my word" He always remembers your name too! He doesn't call you Elder, he calls us using the japenese way. So for Elders, he will say chorro at the end, so I'm Kearl Chorro and for sisters shima (like Tennant shima). He's a great teacher. He will mention a gospel topic and ask what page is that in Preach my Gospel or what scripture talks about The spirit (for example) and every one will look it up and then he will talk about it in depth. Unfortunately, we had no time to take pictures because we had to go to the airport right after! But I will send you a picture of everyone who was there.

Have you received any of my pictures or letters I sent? I am still loving stuff from your package, it was so awesome, thank you mom.

I am loving being a missionary here in Saipan. ALthough I can't believe I will hit a year mark on November 3. We are having lots of fun working hard and staying busy!

Well I gotta go. I sent you some pictures of a van we found that was very old and hidden in the jungle and also a picture from church last week in the tagolag sunday school class. the guy to the right of me, the really dark one standing up, thats Brother Tamayo, he is really awesome and funny. We are really close, I love him so much, he always helps us with Missionary Work helps bring in many people to the church each year!

Well I love ya!  C ya, Bye, Love your son

sidenote: At stake conference this weekend they talked about a time capsule that had been buried at the west stake center 11 years ago. they opened it and in it were letters some of the kids had included in it. i loved reading dan's and thought i would include a copy of it on his blog.

My name is Danny Kearl. I am 8 years old. I was just baptized and it was really cool. I really like playing nintendo 64, my favorite game is pokemon stadium. I also like collecting pokemon cards. When i grow up i want to be a lawyer just like my dad. When this time capsule is unburied i will be 18. In one year i will go on a mission. I would like to go to germany or scotland so i can try haggis. We are learning about these countries in school. I hope that i will always choose the right and keep the comandments. I am a good boy and help my mom and dad a lot. I have really nice friends, they are Jare Squire, Steven Franchuk, Jared Mclellan, Michael Tagg and Michael Leavitt. I hope i will choose friends wisely. I have a sister, Emily and a brother, Scott. I hope my mom has another baby. I am happy to be a member of the church. I like to read the scriptures, especially the Book of Mormon. Danny Kearl
