Ahoy there family,
This week has
been the dankest for sure. Not a ton has been going on. It's all been
pretty sick no doubt. This week we finally had our Christmas party
together with all the missionaries on the island. We were supposed to
have it a while ago, but then the cyclone hit and so we couldn't. It
was pretty sweet though. We played a pretty gnarly game of dodge ball
which was tight.
And then that night our house got struck by
lightning. It was so LOUD. It was the craziest. I think there's a
statistic about it, but I can't remember...
Yeah,
but this week was cool. The work here in Leauvaa is pretty slow right
now. We're having trouble finding new people to teach. We taught this
one guy, but then when we committed him to read the Book of Mormon and
pray, he just told us straight up that he wasn't going to. We've been
working with a lot of inactives lately, which is pretty good. We had a
couple of inactive guys we're working with come to church, so I was
stoked on that.
But really right now we only have one investigator,
Malia. But she's not going anywhere cause the guy she lives with
doesn't want to get married. He's a member but she's not. So we will
continue working with her, but we can't do anything until she gets
married.
The power finally came back on yesterday. It was
sort of weird, actually, cause I got used to doing everything by
candlelight. I think if there was a natural disaster in Utah, I would
totally kill it. In the last little while I've learned to live without
electricity, running water, a bed, washing machine, walls, any kind of
privacy whatsoever, and lasagna.
This week we're moving back to our other area in
Lepale for two weeks. That's the missionary house that's haunted. The
work over there is pretty tough too. But it's cool. We'll just work
our hardest to be crazy obedient and work hard and see what happens.
Transfers were this week. Me and Faitau are
staying, as well as everyone else in the zone. So that's good. I
didn't think either of us would get transferred anyway.
The other day we found a crab hanging out in our room. Talitiga, the
kid we live with, was like freaking out like it was the scariest thing
in the world. Haha, I was surprised. I figured Samoans would be used
to stuff like that. My comp was scared of it too. I was the only one
that would pick it up. There were like, "No! It will eat you!" Haha,
silly boys. I don't know how it got here, though, cause we're like miles
from the ocean.
But anyways, brothers, that's all I got for you.
Keep it extra bones this week. You'll feel an extra desire to spunk
the gnar at a max level.
Keep it safe,
Elder Eric "King of the Mississippi Also" Johansen
