Wow this week has been long, hard, fun, and everything in between!
My spiritual note goes along with what kind of example are you setting? One night, Elder Sake and I met these 5 guys outside their house. One of them, Darrell, told us how he loves what we do and what we say and teach. He used to meet with a missionary who has since gone home. He still sees that missionary's facebook page and the other day that missionary posted an inappropriate video that really upset Darrell. So he messaged him and said, "Look, how can you be saying and doing things like that when I saw you so strong in the faith. Do you just sign a contract for 2 years to be a good person and be strong in the faith and give it up?" And it really hit me. This mission isn't a contract where we promise to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and give it all up when we get home. And people see our example and look to us to continue to be good people. I promise that people are always watching, and they will notice who you are by how you act and use your agency. So we all need to do our best to lead by example, so that those who see us may also see our Savior.
Missionary work is amazing! My pictures in the blog this week will show the mini adventures we have each day. Friend, Find, and Teach. Invite and help others come unto Christ. This is what missionaries do and it is what I love! Have a great week!

| Rained so hard one day the road flooded and we were soaked! |

Just some cows hanging out on the side of the road

One of the people we teach gave me this gift.
Yapese currency - Stone money, back in the day. |

The ward missionaries Brothers Mike and Bruce come teaching

I got to see Brother Stockstill one last time before

| Legendary Story for the week... |
One of the companions that I was on exchange with has a weird stomach virus that causes him to uh double headed dragon (throw-up and diarrhea at the same time). So one day, we are out teaching and I say, "Elder Sagahay, that would be the ultimate friending technique. I just tell the people at the door that my friend has to use the bathroom and they let us in..." well we start walking to a door and he says, "NOOO Elder George I see that look in your eye I won't be apart of this and walks to the car." So we stop at a gas station, no bathroom. Next gas station, no bathroom. So I flip a U-turn and stop at the house across from the gas station. He says what are you doing. I was like, "just follow my lead." So we get out of the car and there are 2 military men looking at us working on the car, it is 8:45 and they are like Who are You? So I say, "Sorry to bother you I just have a weird request. Can we use your bathroom?" Oh Sure bro come inside. We had a 40 minute lesson about the Restoration right after we went to the bathroom. Soooo Sweet.
