Sapwalap Branch decided to do a little Halloween gig for all the
kids. We showed up for a bit of it and everyone was having a great time.
Most of the costumes were mix and matched old clothes tied together to
bring the desired results. They went trick-or-treating to the old
broken-down chapel and some of the classrooms. Then all the kids ran
around with wild sugar highs the rest of the night.
We have some awesome investigators out here. The Welters are an
extended family I used to teach with Sis. Varea when I was in Sapwalap
the first time. They had been taught for years and years. This summer,
one of the ladies finally took the step to getting baptized and since
then, one by one the rest have been preparing. It's kind of fun coming
back and seeing how much they have all progressed since I've been gone
both individually and as a family unit.
We found a lady this week named Maylany. We saw her little boy
outside and asked where his mother was. Then a voice called us from
above telling us to come on up. The house is built on top of old box
cars and we had quite the time finding her stairs as she shouted
directions. When we did find them, she was standing at the top with a
big smile and beckoned us up. Then she disappeared into a room where we
found her sitting with her children, and ready to have a lesson. She
just made my day.
We had our District Conference yesterday with 878 people in attendance. It was a lovely meeting.
Our
mission nurse, Sis. Mclellen came down to attend the conference and to
check out our living conditions. It was her first time to any of the
islands besides Guam. She joined Sis. Orrock and I Saturday evening to
go out teaching and was utterly amazed at everything.
She is from the south and acts just like a true southern bell. She was a
lot of fun to take out and certainly had a lot to say about our diet
and lifestyle out here. Needless to say, I will be eating a lot more
vegetables now and I don't think I'll be partaking of raw fish anymore.
Well, I love you all so very much.

P.S. Deborah you should send me a picture of the new baby boy. Please and thankyou :)
