Hey Mom, Dad, Emily and Scott!
I am doing really good! It has really been a crazy week, i'll start with the good news!!
Ivan came to church and went on the YSA hike, the baptism and GED class!! He loves it and he feels awesome! We had 4 investigators at church yesterday! The bishop is back and we are really excited to work together. He is putting together a list of people to see (mostly part member families)! We also have some other good investigators we are working with. I met a korean guy who wants to hear the gospel (in Saipan, that never happened).
Bad news is we had dropped Micheal, turns out he had no real intent, only met with us to find a "true friend". He is really odd and has had alot of people pick on him. We talked with him yesterday about our purpose and how we help people follow Jesus Christ and he was really ticked at us! So we stopped, said a prayer and then left. The thing is he really knows the relief society president and so he might spread rumours about us, but Sister Kho knows about his difficulties and she knows us and why we are here and so it will work out! Also, we told Bishop who knew him before and he supports us. He felt we did the right thing and he said if there is something being said, he will put a stop to it! It is really awesome to know that Bishop trusts us! He really wants to work with us we have helped reactivate quite a few people. One of them, Jason, is teaching his cousin with us and they will get baptized soon. I know I am supposed to be here! I love Yigo so much!! We felt the Spirit when we were talking to another investigator, Michael. All in all things are really going well, we are receiving alot of blessings and we have really grown here! We are so blessed!
Sorry to hear about your allergic reaction this week mom. About going grey mom....don't be ashamed! (its a chamorro saying)
Emily, I would totally go to BYU over University of Victoria if I were you. You would have more friends with standards like you. Alot of girls in Micronesia get pregnant or start doing other bad stuff at like 16 or 17 because of friends and alot of guys go to jail or are in trouble with the police. Funny thing is we were talking to this 20 year old girl and we asked her where her boyfriend was. She said "he's in court for his 16 year olds brothers hearing court stuff" and then said, "You know when you are little and you are with your friends and you get in trouble with the cops, they did something like that" She said that like it happens to everyone and we both thought, 'that's never happened to us!' Alot of Micronesian men have found God and started seriously praying while they are in jail.
I have not received your package with the dress shirts, probably tomorrow or the next day. My dress shoes are fine. I don't need anything at all right now. Thanks for taking such good care of me MOM.
The work is good and I am so happy to be serving the Lord in Micronesia.
I love you all,
Elder Dan Kearl
