Metlakatla

Hey everyone!

 So this week was good, weve been able to see some people that we havent been able to get in with. It was awesome, we taught this less active samoan guy in the ward last week and we were able to teach him the restoration. He hardly remembers anything that he learned growing up. It went really well, and were hoping to teach him again pretty soon here. So that was awesome, and we were finally able to get into these potential investigators apartment. Ever since Ive been here weve been trying to get in with this guy and on saturday we stopped by and visited him and he actually let us in! Hes a super nice guy from the phillipines, theres tons of phillipinos here for some reason, and we were able to teach him about the book of mormon and give him one, and he told us he will read it! So we were pretty excited about that. Also, we were able to eat with a potential family, super nice people, they are catholic and do these recited prayers before they eat. They want to feed us again sometime, and hopefully we can really start teaching them, we just shared stuff about our religion and about what we do as missionaries and all that kind of stuff, it was super good. Oh and were teaching Kodie today, so that should be good.And then other than that weve been doing alot of less active work and trying to see people.

So last tuesday someone loosened all of my spokes on my back tire, so we had to go get that fixed by a member in the ward. The member said that I was lucky since my tire didnt break on my and make me crash, but now its all fixed and good to go. Then yesterday we were on our way to an appointment, and theres a short cut we often take, its a dirt path that cuts to the church parking lot, and elder satini ran into a big rock and crashed pretty hard. He ended up getting all cut up on his arm, he did something to his hands and scratched his forehead pretty good haha. He ended up messing up his rim and popping his tire haha, so now were back to walking and taking the bus for a day or two until he fixes it today or tomorrow sometime. Oh and today, like right when we got to emails some lady whos sitting behind me right now started trying to bash with us. I hate when people do that, she started telling us how theres no evidence that Christ was on the Earth and all that nonsense, and she asked me if we know were in a cult. Haha, shes speaking nonsense! Oh well. And the first cruise ship came in this week! Pretty sweet, and the members were telling us that it was a small one, so now Im stoked to be able to see the other ones that will be coming in during the summer. Then on Metlakatla, the population isnt very high. I think theres like less  than 2000 residents, so its a small island/community. And in the past they have had full time missionaries over there, but most of the time they were just doing service for people over there or something like that. And once the car is fixed I will be the driver, and by the way, the car is still sitting in the same spot its been in since it got to the car shop.

  But it sounds like you guys had a pretty good week, Happy late Birthday Brolin! And Happy early Birthday Avery! I hope your birthdays are everything you hope and dream for hah. It sounds like Brolins birthday was pretty good, im glad for that! And I hope Avery has a good birthday too! Kendis' talk sounds like it was awesome! And Im sure Keiths talk was good too. Anyways, Im glad all your week was good and I hope you have a good week this week! Love you guys!
