Shark Bait takes the Wheels

FAMILE BLO MI, Mi glad we i glad lo spendum smol taem no mor lo talem yufala mi luvum yu withem ful haet blo mi. Neva forgetum how mus mi lovum yufala.

I would be lying if I said that this week was a simple one. But I have grown in my testimony that Our God loves us and gives us trials to make us stronger and come closer to Him. Never forget that our Savior Jesus Christ suffered for you individually. He took it upon his back so he would know how to comfort you. So, don't give up. Keep pressing forward. He will never leave you comfortless. I testify with my entire heart and soul that this is true.

This week I got fairly sick and many were worried I had a Mosquito Born illness. Which I was tested for and luckily do not have!! This week has been one of the hardest of my entire life but I have grown so much. We were also in the Office almost the full week as we are preparing for another "Hell Week." The only thing that will be different this time is that I will be taking the rains as Travel Elder 1 and Elda Gray will be going home this Saturday. I would be lying if I told you I was not nervous. I know The Lord will provide a way though.I will be getting my new companion this Wed. His name is Elder Burbank and he is coming from the New Caledonia part of his mission. So, he will know French but I will be put in charge to help train him as a New Travel Elder and teach him Bislama. He has been on his mission for a little bit so his experience will be most valuable.

I have also been very blessed because I have been making many great friends here on the mission. Many were worried about me when I was ill and have come bringing food and doing whatever else they could to help. Friends are a beautiful blessing. I challenge you all to look around and try to find those you could help. You do not have to look far to see someone in a worse position than you. Elder Bybee and Elder Kennedy are two of my greatest friends here on the mission and they are great examples to me of serving others.

I love you all and hope your weeks are amazing!! I did not have a lot of time for the update today I am sorry.

Much love,

Elda LaMont/Your Alekken Ty/ Shark Bait/ Island Boy
