[note: I noticed in some pictures I've seen of Elder Schroath I never see him wearing shoes so I asked him if he needed some. That's what he's referring to in the first paragraph]
Hey!
I have been hearing lots of help coming from families in the states so thank all you guys for everything you do! It is definitely needed here. Mom, yes I do have shoes haha just no work shoes so I choose the flip flops haha (well sometimes barefoot works too) when we were in the typhoon, we were in the zone leaders house which is right next to the church, so that's why we were so close to the church. I took some videos and pictures so you can see.
Church went super well, we had a huge attendance at church mainly because we helped distribute food and so every inactive member just came out of the woodworks haha everyone wants their share. But hey they came to church so they were exposed to the spirit again and now we know a lot of less actives!
So us missionaries have no problem with food or anything, all the stores are back open and we still get money ha it is really just chuukese families struggling with food since a lot of them live off the land and most of the trees broke or at least all the fruit fell. So yeah I am good I don't really need food to survive ha just send me good American food:) ha. We have service planned almost every day this week so as long as the weather stays good we will have another service week. We also have a baptism planned for Saturday for Santir and Ripo, sons of a less active mother.
I love being here in Chuuk! These people are just so grateful all the time and so loving and willing to help out. I never thought a mission could be so fun! We don't have power back in the house yet and that is terrible while sleeping in a cement house with no fans or AC ha so we have been sleeping in the ZLs house. I think that is about it, I love you!
Elder Schroath
