Okay. Today we ended up going to a place called Coppersnake Cave. It 

was quite interesting, crawling through tiny spaces, rolling in 

puddles, and getting way muddy. It was quite a blast, but it took 

quite a while, so we're only taking 30 minutes for e-mail. It is 

almost 4:45, and we still have to go shopping, and Preparation Day 

ends at 6 PM.



It was the first time for the Marshallese elders. They had a blast. 

Elder Valai-Tufuga had a good workout trying to get through a couple 

of tiny spaces. Wow. I just realized how hungry I am. I haven't eaten 

since about 7 AM, and all I had was the last of my bread, with the 

last of my milk, and a bit of sugar.



No, we didn't have any investigators come to church yesterday. The 

big problem with the Marshallese are rides, so the bishopric is 

working on a program as a ward to provide rides (no church buses 

allowed for insurance reasons). We have had quite a bit of rain, but 

no flooding. Usually we get a big storm where it rains a ton for 

about five minutes, and then it goes back to partly cloudy, and it's 

hot and humid for the rest of the day. Then it gets really cloudy 

near dusk, and then it rains during the night. Elder Albert and I got 

caught on our bikes last Wednesday in one of the storms. I thought it 

was a blast, and while riding back to the apartment, there were a few 

people in cars chuckling as they passed, so I must have made 

someone's day.



Still working hard to find and teach people. Luckily, we were able to 

meet the goals this week of number of people talked to and lessons 

taught (typically 70/15, but this last week Elder Valai-Tufuga had us 

to 90/15, which we were able to achieve).



You'll have to give me everyone's addresses so that I will know how 

to get a hold of them if I ever have any extra time on Preparation 

Day.



In the way of really understanding Gethsemane, and not only that, but 

the temptations and trial of Jesus Christ, and how Judas fit in with 

all of it, I would highly suggest reading Jesus the Christ by James 

E. Talmage. It's long, and it's in a pretty educated voice, but it's 

way good.



Anyway, I don't know much more of what to say, so I'll be signing 

off. See you next week! Happy 4th of July!
