Painfully Slow Internet

Hi mom and dad!

I'm online for a little while. It is HORRIBLY slow right now though, so we'll see how it works out.

(We told him all about youth conference this past weekend.) ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cami has a boy who likes her! How exciting. Crazy that Cam is going to go to EFY and that sounds like so much fun for mom! (I am meeting up with some of the moms of the Kiribati Missionaries from my Facebook group while I'm in Utah with Cami!) Funny you are going to meet sister Farley haha! Crazy how you guys are doing all kinds of different things (His other sister Taylor is leaving in a week for a humanitarian trip to Paraguay). Also Sion's
brother got called to the Paraguay, Asuncion north mission!

Work was good, we had a baptism and contacted 2 new families. We have one more we are going to contact this week. Its always a big deal with new people here, it takes a lot to have them even want to listen, so
we're going to be bold but careful with them.

The baptism was Titanebo, Temantio's son. He's 12. He's a good kid, he'll be our only deacon for a while. Members are great, Pres told me to give everyone callings so that's what we did yesterday. We'll work on having everyone give lessons and lead the opening and closing exercises in the various classes. We did the three hour block for the first time yesterday and everyone was exhausted haha! But its good - growing little by little.

They're doing a good job stepping up to the plate. Callings are a good way to make sure nobody falls away. It's so funny to me that I'm actually the Branch President hahaha! It's weird. Right now we have 6 brothers, with us included, sisters 4, kids - heaps. Still did both north and south, so I was in church for like 5 hours, and I ran it alllllll.

Today we have to teach religion class at the primary school for the kids. It's a weekly thing, every week on Monday we teach the primary kids, and Tuesday the middle school. They all are really obedient, and it re-affirms that I want to teach AP chem someday. I like being a teacher.

I think we'll also sleep and eat some food. Elder Tiaon is sick, he ate something and is really feeling it. Its a testament to my iron stomach (acquired after months of being sick at the beginning of his mission) that we eat the same food and I am unphased. (Elder Tiaon is even an I-Kiribati).

*The internet must have died, because his message ended abruptly.  We are just grateful to know all is well!
