Country Girl, Island Girl: Nicole's Mission in Micronesia: Week 59

Weeellll what an eventful week!! Flew out to Guam on Tuesday and my dear ole' sister bennett was sick sick sick! But she works herself to death so I don't think she's taken a break at all. She suffered the consequences for that by not be able to go to MLC. and even then I had to force her to stay in bed!!! Crazy female.. ;) It is not meet that a man should run faster than he has strength! But I guess she thought that doesn't include females.

The MLC was great, only thing though. The mission only got 9 baptisms this month. We have not gotten lower than 20 baptisms a month in this mission in over 4 years. President was really sad. I am really sad. But we can do it!!! Mists of darkness never stopped Nephi! kerchow I guess

Ya so on Saturday we had a council with the Zone leaders to plan for zone conference which will be this wednesday. And we had great fun being children and trying to be grown up's and have a legit council about the spiritual needs of other missionaries. To me this is a serious matter, but sometimes people just get a little immature and make fun jokes and what not. I dont know. but we did end up making a good plan and the conferenece should go well!!

This sunday we went out to get in the car and the tire was flat. Oh no. So we droved down to the road that leads to the church. It goes up into the jungle. And we just parked it there. then the elders showed up and went to change the tire but the spare was a tire that literally fell off the car a while back and is pretty destroyed. So they called some other elders to get a spare from them and we began walking to church. halfway up, the Elders met up with us and parked their car and walked the rest of the way with us. GENTLEMEN right there! 5 points for them. After church then drove our car up to us and we were on our way again with a cute little spare on the back. But it was still like driving a wash board.

After companion study we drove to the elders area to pick up a member present. After we picked her up and drove a little further to pick up another member, the front tire (different than the one that got flat) FELL OFF the axle!!! The screws got shredded by the nuts and the tire just popped off. The car slid on the axle for a good 10/15 yards before it finally stopped. Ooohhhhh joy. We texted the Elders (service is a joke. if they call we really cannot hear them) and started walking down the way we came to find the nuts. Found 3 of them! And also muslim Pohnpeians? First time I've ever heard of that.

Anywho, the Elders showed up again to save the day :) And we rolled the car off the road with the flat tire on the front axel that we had replaced earlier with the spare. That car was done. We then proceeded to friend around in the elders area while the elders went to get us a car. Luckily there was a spare one as an Elder is on guam for teeth problems. Lol yay us.

I had a cockroach on my hand last night. And I'm sick. Stuffy nose. Also, I took a realy shower today. Yay!! Our water's pretty gross at Uh house. but ya. All is well! Zone conference this week so president is in town.

Love you all!!! I've been studying about the holy ghost being our constant companion, but that also means we gotta be constantly worthy of him. CONSTANT VIGILANCE. Mad-Eye wasn't too far off of a good gospel principle there. Constant vigilance against the adversary and towrads christlike qualities. yay for Jesus!!

Love you all!! Have a fantastic week as fall rolls in. I'll see you in 5!
