Family Dear,
It has been a busy week. My language day
went pretty well. Sister Varea sent me on a split with Paulo. She is
20-year-old girl that doesn't know much English and didn't speak any to
me. I taught one of her friends. It was really scary and I don't know
how much the girl understood. I was so nervous I was forgetting words
I've known since the first week here. I'm glad the first split is over
with now though and I know if I just depend on the spirit it can only
get better. I actually feel like I've been improving alot on the
language this week.
We had our zone conference on Saturday so we got to see President
Mecham and his wife. It was so good. It's nice to receive some good
instruction and President knows how to get us excited and uplift our
spirits. He's excited about the change in missionary age and is hoping
that if there is a big increase in sister missionaries they may start
sending sisters to Kosrae and Yap! We also had baked potatoes, rolls,
salad, and jello for dinner. It was the first potato I've had since I've
been here.
Our district went to the Nan Madal ruins today. It is an ancient
city built of rocks. Nobody knows what happened to the people and half
the city is sunk in the ocean now. It was really cool. I also got to
meet the Nanmwarki (King). I guess he owns the land with the ruins. I
didn't know who he was until he left and the Elders told me, so I wasn't
able to get a picture with him.
We get to watch general conference this next Saturday and Sunday. It won't be too long of a wait this time around.
Love you all,
Sister Beutler
