This week was just swell! How about all y'alls?
Well, this week I worked with Elder Mahanga from the Marshall Islands side of the mission. He is amazing! He is a remarkable missionary and learns the language in a blink. One day prayers, the next testimonies, the next scriptures, the next bits of the lessons, and the next he flew off to Onotoa to meet his real companion. He was great fun to work with. He is awesome! Learning and growing together. He is great at connecting with people. All the investigators and members loved him even though he was only here for a week. He is amazing! He will do well in Kiribati!
My new companion just came off the island of Onotoa. His name is Elder Graham. He will finish his mission at the end of July or the beginning of August. So, that will be fun for him. He is great at connecting with people and seems to have a great vision to improve the YSA program, which will be great. I am excited to work with him.
I did service with the Temaiku 1 elders on Saturday, because I had a section of time that I was companion-less, Elder Mahanga went to the airport and Elder Graham was coming in on the next flight. So, it was awesome! I loved it! We cleaned up the Catholics area. Cool, right? The members were wearing the Mormon Helping Hands t-shirts, so it was a great way to show that we can all coexist and help each other -- no matter the religion. That is a lesson that we all need to learn, I suppose, but especially here in Kiribati where a person's religion defines their friends, family, and lifestyle. It was a great service.
Well, I am doing great! I love you all and pray for you all! You are amazing! Really, you all are! Thank you so much for the support and love! Love you all!
Love you so much!
Keep pressing forward!
Hurrah for Israel!
Elder Weenig
