This week the highlight, was speaking Thin nu Wa'ab all of Friday. Truly a challenging experience one that helped us learn... a lot. Trying to tell stories was so hard, and we had to resist the urge to speak Thin nu American. We did fun movie quoting and tried singing songs in Yapese too.
We didn't get to do a lot of teaching this week, people seem to be missing in action because "Yap Day" is Today, and started yesterday and it is like a Christmas level holiday on Yap.
Well spiritually, pray for specific things and exercise your faith. Our phone had no minutes left and we needed to get those minutes refilled to do call-ins that night. So we said a prayer that we could run into the missionaries or if there was something we could do that we would be inspired to do so. No more than 30 seconds after the prayer I just reached behind the seat to find the spare phone, which somehow still had battery even though it hasn't been charged in 8 days, we called the Elders and asked them for minutes. Right after, the phone died. Miracle? I think yes!
Lastly, I bore my testimony to a young man this week and my finishing statement to him was, "Find the path. Get on the path. Stay on the path. Live it. Love it. I say that in the name of Jesus Christ amen." Have a great week, Elder George

| Our new apartment has a washer and dryer. Awesome! Other good news, I had my companion on Guam Elder Queroga send me a picture of my antibiotics. I took it to a Doctor here on Yap and he said that was good enough. He filled the prescription so I am back on the road to recovery! I'm hoping for the best. |
 |
| The apartment is very nice. However there is only COLD water... That was a bit of a disappointment. Other than that it is really very comfortable. |

| Elder Jones making popcorn on the stove. Fun notes about my companion! He is a good strategist so card playing is good competition. He also is very clever and obedient, and is good at impersonations. He loves vegetables, and soy milk and being healthy. He has a good drive to do the work and we are loving our area! |

| Elder Jones can break coconuts with his head... |
 |
| Elder Jones got a coconut bracelet stuck on his arm, and could not get it off without losing a slight amount of skin and using oil . |
 |
| My companion Elder Queroga is doing better on Guam just so you all know. The missionaries there have been keeping me updated on his condition. He will have all of his stitches removed by next week and he is doing great! No more biking though, he has the luxury of a car. That will make him very happy hahaha. |
