The Other Side of The Island Had Sunsets

This week the Sister training leaders and zone leaders flew out to MLC again, which means I got to spend 3 days with Sister Felt in the Kitti/Pehleng area on the other side of the island! Although it was all still the same work, it felt like a little mini vacation. I had a comfy bed, clean shower water, the house was newer and cleaner, plus also safer, and there was SUNSETS! Plus this is side is a bit more middle class country which was quite enjoyable. We had so much fun meeting so many new people. Even though this Island is small, the west side actually has a completely different accent then the east side. Its kinda like an Australian accent, except speaking pohnpeian...

We had some awesome lessons, my favorite one was at dusk on the last night. We were under a public hut, with chairs and tables, teaching two investigators about the book of mormon, but people just kept coming and listening and so we had to get louder. By the end we were preaching to a group of maybe 12-15 people. They were all listening so well, and the spirit was so strong as we taught and testified. I felt like a missionary from the olden days and it was way fun. We went around and met everyone after wards and one lady told us "Kauno mihmih rehmwa" Which means "Christ is with you two". Also, for the first time I had someone else give me a book of mormon. It was our 16 year old member present that we brought a long. She wrote me a sweet note on the inside cover. Its crazy how fast you can come to love people! 

Coming back to Uh, we are so ready to get to work. Church on Sunday went pretty well. I started teaching a mission prep class for the youth, because none of them have been staying for Sunday school, and it went super well! Testimony meeting was also super powerful, these peoples testimonies of the atonement is pretty darn strong.

 My heart is full. Its not easy but it is so worth it!

Love,

Sister Milne
