Week 22 - Oh Danny Boy Dec-8-19

     A week of Miracles! I worked with Elder Jones this week and I just wanted to share some of our teaching experiences this week. Full letter is in my email
     My last story is about a college student here on Yap and he goes by Danny Boy. We had never met him but the Facebook team had referred him to us. So we decided yesterday to go see him. . . As we were driving there the song "Danny Boy" came on in our car and it is on shuffle so we look at each other and know it is gonna be good. He is Chuukese and I got to teach part of the lesson in Chuukese that I learned on Guam which was awesome and he is really prepared for the Gospel. After the lesson was over he says "I'm gonna go tell my friends on Guam (over Facebook) how awesome that was!" 
     There are some truly amazing people in the world. I love sharing the Gospel with them and see them change. The Gospel is true and I know it. Gag bey yog a pinn'ey u dakean, Fithingan Fakam Yesus Kristus Arragon. Elder George


Friend or Food! We saw him on the road, I jumped out of the car 
and put my feet on his claws and Elder Jones got him by the back 
of the head. Then we put him in a box in the trunk and getting him
out was exciting. After that adventure we put on a pot of boiling
water and told him he got to go hot tubbing... Then we ate him!

Elder Jones peeling some of the smallest bananas he has ever seen.


 Sweetest pineapple ever and we even might plant it.


Service with a Smile! Saturdays here on Yap are cleaning days
so we helped clean this stone path.

Even time for some drawing...
Just finished.

Sitting out near the tree where we taught Robert.
"If you never get out of the boat and swim, things aren't going to get better."

Robert shared with us some faith and miracle stories. One day after fishing the engine of their boat died and they were far from shore and close to crashing on the reef. So they prayed. The boys said, 'Dad let's just keep trying to start the engine" and he says, "Look if you only stay in the boat, and never swim, things aren't gonna get better they'll only get worse." So the boys don't listen and try to start the engine and it breaks. So they tie ropes to the boat and to their backs and swim. Faith brings forth miracles. After hours of swimming and receiving strength to swim that great distance against the current they were rescued and brought to shore.
