Hey Mom and family,
Guam is good, it is really good!
Chuukese Gospel Principles was very interesting today. The sister who was called to teach it didn't know what to do, so everyone just sat down read the lesson manual and we read some scriptures! She has no idea how to teach and lead a class discussion. Many micronesians have never taught before. As missionaries, we helped this sister teach the lesson. Bro and Sister Raymond (he was in the branch presidency in Barriagada) are going over to her house to teach her how to teach effectively, which is very cool, he is a great man. He is on fire when it comes to the gospel.
I have almost completed my language masters! I am so happy!
You asked about Valentine's Day here...The stores here celebrate valentines day the people are not that into it! Micronesians don't show affection and they don't go on dates. They just find a boyfriend or girlfriend and get married! They don't hug or kiss or hold hands in front of people!
Elder Tadd and I had a good week, 3 people came to church and another one almost came but his ride was late. His name is Ivin, he was really prepared to hear the gospel and he really likes meeting with us.
I also found someone who knows Lianna! Lianna... do you know the Deleon family in Palau? I showed Grace Deleon your picture when you were a missionary and she recognized your face. She said she knew you. Her family was baptized in Yap, the dad was branch president there then moved back to Palau. She said her mom fed the missionaries all the time and you would know your mom! Here is an update for you...she married this Samoan guy in the 90's and he got baptized in 2000, they were sealed in 2005 in the Manilla Philippines Temple and she is Primary President. When her husband speaks in church he doesn't even use the microphone, he is really loud! She also works for the church!
Well I gotta go, Love ya,
Elder Kearl
