Week 13 - Reconcile 10-6-19


Hey everyone! This has been quite the week... I love sharing pictures of the beauty of Guam and all the missionaries I get to work with. It really is amazing out here, and I am so grateful to work in such a beautiful place and I want to share it with you.
        My note for this week happened today, about 10 minutes ago. A man named Richard, was found by the Palauan Zone leaders while they stayed in our house for the training. So we told him that we would come by and see him sometime next week. He calls us today, and gives us directions Chamorro style (left at this store, past this tree, turn right and the house with the...) We prayed we could find his home and we found him. He asked us to give him a priesthood blessing and I could just feel his faith it was so potent. As we laid our hands upon his head I felt the spirit so strongly.
      After the blessing was over we shared with him some scriptures. One was 2 Nephi 10:24.
It says, "Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God...After ye are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved". We focused on that word Reconcile. It means to make one thing compatible with another. How are we letting God "fit" into are lives? He is perfect and because of that he can fit into anyone's life and fill in ALL that we are missing. But we must reconcile ourselves to His will, in order for him to come into our lives.
      I love this mission, and all the people I have the chance to meet. I have yet to see General Conference, but I encourage everyone to remember the words of our Prophet and Apostles. They are guiding the whole church and I love them, respect them and can't wait to listen to them. Enjoy this week my friends, and reconcile yourselves!

So I wanted to start off by saying that our tech team
had a very successful training, and I was so thankful
for how well it worked out. It isn't often that things
you plan for actually go to plan. 

I loved being up there and presenting and sharing
 the things I have learned and worked on for the
past several weeks. Elder Lademora and I did a
lot of preparing, and it finally is finished!

I love my companion and the time that I was
able to work with him. Due to an illness he needs
to go home but he was able to stay long enough
to finish this tech training!  He got to see the
project through and see smartphones roll out
in Mirconesia for the first time ever!

It's my 2nd transfer and I counted in my journal and found I have
had 17 different companions for a day or more. I've been with
split zone leaders multiple times, and whenever elders are injured
or sick they get to come to Guam to heal.  I've had the opportunity
to meet and work with many of them! 

My friend elder Poh from Pohnpei. Every time it starts raining
really hard he loves to say... "You think I care?!!"


Elder Sake holding a snake that someone we teach
killed. He threw a baseball bat at it. Strike and your out!

Elder Hymas  (Yes, Chad Hymas's son) and me working together
for a few days. He is the Assistant to the President. While he's
been with me he has had bad luck, from having expired milk with
his cereal to accidentally ordering the jalapeño chicken at Wendy's
and not the jalapeño burger. 

The AP's have such a nice place. Good luck for me!

Personal study - 2 Nephi 10:24

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, reconcile yourselves to the will of God... After ye 
are reconciled unto God, that it is only in and through the grace of God that ye are saved"











Completely drained after the tech training and getting
up at 4:30am  to make trips back and forth from the
airport to pick up Palau and Yap Zone Leaders
