Week 78 - Alii from Palau

Hello hello hello!! What an amazing week! I landed on Guam and hung out there for a day or two (lol 'hung out') while I waited for my laundry to dry, then I hopped on a plane again and headed off to Palau! 

Ticket to Palau!
This island is incredible. So clean, so stunning, so good. And the missionaries truly are the best part. I am with Sister Langi (Tongan heritage, grew up in Cali) Sister Kuar (Fijian) and Sister Nalau (Vanuatu)

Palauan Sisters
Side Note: Are you all learning so much about the pacific islands because of this? I had no idea these islands existed until I met the people from there.

Me and Sister Nalau
President and Sister Poston also flew to Palau with me for Zone Conference, and as I was heading into security, they caught up to me and invited me to go to a dinner with them. I was like 'ya sure, no big deal' and then we turned into this secret 6 billion star black velvet diner that looked like only James Bond could enter in. Little did I know, President Poston was just as fancy as James Bond, and he could bring a Plus One. So I ate dinner with them AND they let me see the video of my sister CORINNE opening her mission call to DENMARK. WHAT?!

Sister Cragun and Sister Tantiangco dropping me off at the airport again. :) Woo!

So ya. We got on the plane (with 10 other utahns going to dive) and got to Palau at 9pm. The next day was Zone Conference and preisdent poston had me give an on the spot 10 minute talk on the atonment. I did fine :) It was a great experience. Basically, because of everything I've suffered and felt, I've been able to help and comfort those going through the same thing. Just as Jesus condesended below all things in order to help everyone, at the lowest of their low, get to the highest of highs. I'm not quite there yet, but I'm getting better :) And the mission has definitely helped a lot. The more you suffer, the more you know. Tis the bitter sweet truth.

A beautiful family I taught on Guam! Sooo nice.
Only the mother is a member and she hasn't been to church in a while.
Such a good innocent soul.

I hope you've all had a fantastic week and have been enjoying the home studies. I'm headed to Kosrae on Friday, so I'll see you there ;) Love you!! Have a great week!

Me and a Dog that was so friendly! Palauan Dogs are so much more friendly than Guam or Pohnpeian Dogs. I just opened the door to go to an appointment and then Sister Nalau needed to tell me something, and next thing you know, this little feller came and said hi! In the most polite way. Such good dogs. (I know you all think I'm crazy and disgusting but I enjoyed it very much. He was a good boy. Very good boy.)
