weekend we all watched General Conference in Marshallese. It was
actually fun. I could understand what was being said but it
was very hard. It took full concentration and I was mentally worn out
when it was all said and done. Luckily as a mission we watched all
the sessions in English except priesthood. So I saw every session
except priesthood in my native tongue. However, the best part about
conference was the way it helped the missionary work. Elder
Cherrington saw it as a good opportunity to share the gospel and so we
made conference schedules and gave them to anyone and everyone. We
handed out 34 schedules to random people and then bore testimony of
Thomas S. Monson. It definitely helped build my testimony. However
the best part of the whole thing was that our investigators and recent
converts all came and were just caught up in the spirit of conference.
Halloween is entertaining in the Marshall Islands. About nine
o'clock the kids stormed our house chanting happy happy halloween to
the tune of London Bridges. Then a riot started the kids
started coming inside about twenty of them. I started telling them to
not come in and they began demanding food. We panicked and began
giving them everything we had there was just a mass of children
screaming and we would throw food in the the mass and they would
demand more. We gave them all the candy grandma sent, a bunch of gum,
our personal candy, and just started throwing cereal at them however,
they wouldn't leave. Finally after a bout 20 minutes of this they
backed away from the door enough that we could shut it and we were
saved. It was hilarious and stressfull at the same time I thought I
was going to die. However, the kids wouldn't back down they began
pounding on the door screaming so finally we just locked it and went
to bed.
