Mauri,
The camera came!! Thank you so much I'm so excited to use it, and thanks for the lollies and other stuff.
Those films sound like they would be pretty funny, especially, the camp one and preparing for a stake dance. (we had a Stake Film Festival on Saturday night that I told Elder Berends all about).
Nei Emi is going really well, she has a baptism date for the 3rd of September and we also have some sweet members present, return missionaries, helping so that's been a lot of fun.
Orebwa, is another investigator, she goes to Moroni High School, and really needs to be baptized as soon as possible. She is way smart, and way too easy to teach, so she will be baptized on the 20th of August.
Teannaki and Rerei are so legit also but... Rerei has already been married to someone else and hasn't been divorced therefore... she can't get married to Teannaki until she gets a divorce. And to make things even worse, Rerei's ex-husband now lives on Tamana... one of the only islands that don't have missionaries, so getting that divorce might be a bit difficult. But we will pray hard.
All of our other investigators are doing well but I'll find some other time to talk about them.
Pdays, are spent playing volleyball, and yeah, sometimes we go to the guns in Betio where the battle of Tarawa went down. If you guys want me to I could ask some kids to go look for bullets and stuff from the battle and they find them everywhere. No fishing here, the fishing is alright but for missionaries on Tarawa its not allowed.
We had 3 new Elders and 2 Sisters come in. All Elders are going outer islands, 1 sister is staying and working in Betio and the other sister is going to Kiritimati! One of the Elders is from NZ, Elder Tiakia and is actually Amani's cousin. So it was cool talking to him a bit before he flew to Aranuka.
And as for that lesson that you had in Relief Society, we have really been trying to help Nei Emi understand the atonement of Jesus Christ and it all reminds me of a talk called "His Grace is Sufficient" by Brad Wilcox. It's a really good talk.
So that's about it from me,
Love Elder Berends.
