We were the only ones

We knew this was going to happen sooner or later. With only four members in our group this was the Sunday that no one showed up.  One of the members was out of town. Another had to work. The other two just couldn't make it. Out of respect for the Sabbath day we held Services anyway. Cheryl was the speaker. I blessed and passed the sacrament. Actually it ended up being a nice service. We're always impressed with the spirit that attends our humble meetings.
When it rains here it never sprinkles or drizzles it's always a cloudburst. It usually rains for about 20 to 30 minutes and then it stops. Occasionally it'll rain longer and everything gets flooded. After it rains the clouds usually clear up and it's sunny.
Our meals are starting to get a little bit boring. There is not much variety here. All we have for sandwiches is tuna fish or peanut butter and jelly. We were fortunate and able to buy some lettuce so we had a salad. This doesn't happen very often. We usually just drink water. The milk here is a type that's non-refrigerated and so it doesn't taste very good. We've been adding some lemon or lime juice to our water to give some variety. Actually we probably been eating pretty healthy. Not very much Dairy and very little sugar. We eat a lot of rice.
Here's something we don't see back home. A dog pulling a pig's head down the street.

    The pig's head makes me laugh! You it's fun catching up on your guys adventure. It sounds like you're doing great even with the boring food and lack of lettuce and moist cake. Keep up the good work...we hope to not be far behind you!

      Thanks for the comment. As you consider a mission, one thing I did not realize until recently is that most 3rd world cities are choked with pollution and traffic. We were very lucky to be sent to an island that has neither

    Your comment about just the two of you at Church brought to mind the scripture...“Verily, verily, I say unto you, … where two or three are gathered together in my name, … behold, there will I be in the midst of them—even so am I in the midst of you” (D&C 6:32). Thank you for your great service.

The test

Image
Our students took a midterm exam. Attendance was much greater in each class for the exam then it was for the lessons. For some reason in this culture tests are held in very high esteem. One of our classes has 3 Catholic sisters. After the test they asked to have their picture taken with us. One of the reasons the class interests them is that they will be serving in America for a period of time. Today at church we had our biggest attendance ever. On the front row is Warlito who is a member of the church from the Philippines. On the row behind is Janu our English class assistant, his fiance Zelia and her sister Santi. He's difficult to see but sitting behind Warlito is one of Dominguez's children. On the next row is Dominguez and 3 of her children. On the last row is Eden, Genevieve and Billy, they are members of the church. In the very back by the keyboard is Tara who is a member of the church and planning to serve a mission soon. Those who are not members are show

Holidays

This year we had a Christmas tree. It made our lives seem a little more normal. The two little gifts under the tree are empty. Cheryl just thought we needed some wrapped gifts to make it look better. There's also a small carved manger scene. That was made on a neighboring Island in timor-leste. Last year we didn't put up the tree and it felt terrible. We called our children and my parents on their Christmas Day which was the day after Christmas for us. This Christmas felt so much better. Last Christmas we were only out for 20 days and it felt so lonely and we felt like we would be away for ever. In our church group three of the four adult members are living alone here in Timor-Leste. We had them all over for Christmas dinner. Sitting next to Cheryl is Nikki. She works for the Philippine Embassy. Across from Nikki is Eden. She has three children that are currently living in the Philippines because one of them needs special therapy. She'll be alone until they return th

Sunday in the MTC with foreign missionaries

Image
Fast and testimony meeting Today we attended a remarkable fast and testimony meeting. It was with missionaries from foreign countries who will be assigned missions in the United States. They came to the mission home already knowing how to speak English . They are in the mission home for only 3 weeks. When they bore their testimonies they did it in English and they announced the countries they were from. The countries were Paraguay, Indonesia, Philippines, Venezuela, Fiji, Brazil, Montreal Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Japan and Haiti. They were remarkable. They all appeared to be very bright and very mature in there gospel understanding and application. A lot of them were assigned to serve throughout California. One of them will be speaking Creole in Florida. One of the missionaries from the Philippines will be serving in our home mission in Sacramento.
