Week 79 - KOSRAE!!

Okay, Pohnpei was great. I miss it with all my heart. But.......

Kosrae is one of the best islands I've seen! Holy cow I think I could live here and be perfectly content! Maybe just not for too much longer though because I have a meeting to get to on Guam this week. ;) I'll leave tomorrow. But the island!!

Oh wow it's so gorgeous, everywhere you drive, there's houses on one side, and then, the ocean on the other side. White sand beaches and gorgeous towering waves! Most people here have little gardens and they're so cute! There's not much as far as town and stores go, but there's enough to get by.

Currenly there is one companionship of sisters (Sister Stapley and Sister Tuihaa) and one companionship of elders, and one senior couple (the Bundy's). The Bundy's are AMAZING. Elder Bundy is a cowboy through and through. And they know Wellsville!!! We've had some amazingly fun conversations together. :)

I think the best part though has been the work. Sister Stapley is a MASTER in Kosraean, and most Kosraeans are a little shy about speaking English. So everything is done in a language I do not know. It's been great though! Because I don't know what's going on while we're teaching, I can just feel the lesson. I can feel what the other people need. and by the power of the Holy Ghost, I teach. The words just seem to flow out of my mouth, as I explain something that I know is true and that I believe will bless their lives. It has stunned myself and the sisters. And the people we're teaching are being changed by it too! God only works through his most humble good hearted servants, and he fulfills his promises that 'you shall not be confounded before men'.

Any missionary can teach like this! Even though I have now had 18 months of experience and gospel study, all missionaries know something the people they're teaching don't. All of us know that the gospel has been restored. All of us know the Book of Mormon is true. All of us know where we came from and why we're here on earth. We may not know why, or we may not understand everything. But we can always testify and share what we do know. And what little we know really does lead and guide those we teach to the truth! Because they don't know what we know :)

I love this gospel and I know this church is true!! I'll talk to you next week on Saipan!

Love,
Sister Felt
