Sunday 25th

We went to 3 branches today. It was really rainy all day but still hot! We got to see a lot of members and friends!! They had a primary program in branch 1 and it was amazing!! I've never seen a better one in my life!! The spirit was so strong! We walked around Blacksands for a bit and saw a bunch of people! Then that evening there was a seminary and institute graduation that we went to!! It was really neat to see all the wonderful members and their accomplishments!! The church is really growing and doing really well there!! It was exciting to see it!!

Elda Saksak's family!! He's in the MTC preparing to go to the Phillipines! The girl on the very right was one of my companions- sista sur and her baby! His family is so proud of him even though they aren't members yet!

Me and some members that lived in Tanna that I had some FHN and discussions with!! They are now married and baptized and he's the 1st counselor in the branch now!! YAY!!!

After the graduation we went and visted a family and then went home. We hadn't eaten for 9 hours so we went to town to find something, anything to eat. While walking we saw this crab crawling on the side of the sidewalk!! We never found anything to eat so we went to bed hungry!!! I think if we had a stove we would have eaten this crab!

It makes me cry thinking of all the awesome experiences you had and how great it must've been to see all of those people and be in that country you love!
