Hey mom!
This was a really good week for the Zone. And especially for us as Zone Leaders. Elder Paulis and I planned to explode this week and go for 30 lessons. The most lessons I had had as a Zone Leader so far in a week was 13...so I thought it was a stretch. But we went out and did it! Ended with exactly 30. We found 11 new investigators as well, 8 of them who are on baptismal dates and 6 are progressing well. One his name is Pito, he was taught by missionaries in 2010 and was almost baptized but then he moved to an outer island. Now he is back and we found him just by going to a house where we knew there were members...didn't really have anyone specific to teach but then it all just worked out!
We are also working with this Pohnpeian guy who went to High School with Elder Paulis in Pohnpei! He doesn't know Chuukese really, haha so Elder Paulis teaches him in Pohnpeian and I say some stuff in English. His name is Sanjer. and his dad is a less active who was in Elder Paulis branch back in Pohnpei! So we are working to reactivate him.
Another person we are working with is Erki, and her husband Nakich. They were taught a lot in Tonoas, but then moved to Weno and no missionaries ever taught them. So we found them and they are progressing really well! they just live far from the church so that will be the biggest problem.
Well, I am loving it here in Chuuk. Not too much snow here haha but that is alright. For my box, by junk food i just mean like oreos or cookies or chips or whatever haha but not like any of that hard candy haha or stuff like that. K i love you!

Happy birthday dad!!!
Cool story, the District President, President Wainis, also had his birthday today. He is 46! So since I can't really be with you for yours this time, I can try and make his birthday special and it will just remind me of you! So this week was good, we had 6 baptisms this week, 3 of them from my old area of Neao. Elder Garae is doing really good work as a trainer there! Considering when I got there with him he hardly knew any Chuukese or had never really taught anyone a lesson, he has improved a lot! He is the man. That brings us to a total of 20 baptisms so far this month, with two weeks to go. So I think we will be able to hit our goal! The goal we brought to Guam was 30 but we set it at 40 here in Chuuk. This week was stellar for numbers, where our zone averaged 33 total lessons and 20.8 average member present lessons. Super good, our goal we put was 30 lessons and 20 of them member presents! Our zone is doing work right now! I am so excited to become a stake. Elder Plocher and Barrus (the Assistants) came today
so it is cool to be able to work with them for a couple of days while getting ready for the District Conference. I hope you had an awesome birthday! I love you dad!
