We found an investigator who followed Sister Behling from Kolonia, Mayleen. She's come to church twice now (!!!) and we've taught her one lesson, the restoration. She LOVES it! She also really likes the gospel principles book and stole it from the church to read. I'm fine with it :) She lives by the church with one of our best most faithful members, Sister Nanpei. At the end of our lesson we asked her if she wanted to be baptized and she was silent staring at the floor for like a full two minutes, and then she lifted her head up with tears and nodded and said "I pahn nantiong" which being translated is "I will press on". Whaaaatt??! this is awesome :) I'm going to have an investigator I've taught be baptized for the first time in my mission! VERY unusual for this mission. Everyone usually has lots of baptisms.
This week Sister Behling and I have been in sick since Thursday. Sister Behling's leg is infected and my Lungs are infected. Not realated in anyway, but it's nice we're sick at the same time. It's actually been SUPER fun :) done a lot of studying, reading, talking, and then every night we squish our beds together, pop some kettle corn, grab some candy, and watch movies in our PJ's as we blow our noses cuz we both have colds too :) It's been awesome! Haha I miss proselyting but it honestly hasn't been too bad.

But while we were studying, our little Smoke/CO2 alarm that all missionaries have in their homes went off. We put it outside to see if it'd go off in the fresh air, but it didn't so we threw it in our freezer like all missionaries do. It shut off and we went back to studying. After a while, it started chirping again. 3 beeps every minute. It was driving sister behling CRAZY. It did it for about a half hour before Sister Behling gave up and pulled it out of the freezer. We pushed the button to silence it and it stopped, then began beeping very loudly like a fire alarm does, over and over and over. It wasn't stopping. At. All. I put ear plugs in, and since my ears were already clogged it couldn't hear the alarm too bad anyways. Sister Behling plugged her ears and we spent an hour messing with it trying not to break it, but trying to turn it off. We also tried calling our Zone leaders, district leader, ANYONE!! No one answered!! Finally we called East Zone leaders (we shoved the alarm under 3 mattresses) and they told us "you know, we actually have permission to gently destroy them." So we drowned it immediately. Pulled it out of the water after a while and it was still going off. We've just left it in the water ever since Saturday, and I don't know if it's still alive or not. Might be. But we cant hear it in the water so all is well :)
Yesterday at Church a Stake High councilman was there and just observed church. Then after it was over, he had all the auxillery and us attend a meeting and he had everyone say their needs or concerns. He then told everyone what they need to do to fix all their problems, which was just, fulfill their callings. If everyone does their job, and supports branch president, their needs will be filled. Boom, what! Yes!! I am so happy and so blessed to have a Stake on my island :)
Love you all! Hope you have a fantabulastic week and remember our savior and to love one another. You're all such good support for me and I love it :) Thank you!
Love, Sister Nicole Felt
P.S. We went to Pohnrakied today and saw this tiny tiny oh so cute adorable little pig I was dying!
