How did I like training a newbie? That's enough for an analysis that 


would not be able to fit here, and will not be included. Short 


answer: it was okay. Honestly, I still don't think I'm a very good 


trainer.





We had four investigators attend church: Jamode and Wanita, Hannah 


Kaminaga, and Terry. I'm not sure about Terry's situation, but all 


the others need to get married before they're baptized. Jamode and 


Wantia are scheduled to be baptized on the 29th, but they need to get 


a) a marriage license, b) get married, and c) get a baptismal 


interview. We can help them with everything except for "a)."





We're teaching a lot of people, but they're not coming to church. I'm 


not sure what to do about it. And the Marshallese typically don't 


have that high of paying jobs, and they don't know how to use their 


money, so they have difficulty being able to pay for a marriage 


license. I dunno what to do about that, either. But, we'll keep on 


working.





Unless we get sick of course, which Elder Kaneko and I ended up doing 


this week. I got a 1-day stomach flu Tuesday morning. I ended up 


flushing my dinner down the toilet, and felt nauseated unless I slept 


on my side. Later in the day, the nausea left, but my muscles ached, 


and I got a headache. I felt better Wednesday, but my stomach is 


still a bit weak. Sadly, it might take me for a while to be able to 


eat some things again. I'd been craving fresh pineapple, so I bought 


one on Monday, got sick on Tuesday, and now I don't find it 


appealing. Elder Kaneko got a cold, which peaked on Thursday, and he 


ended up sleeping all morning. We taught a bunch of lessons, but our 


OTMs were way down.





Tomorrow we go to Rogers. One of the quorum of the 70 is doing a 


mission tour. Luckily, not only will we be able to hear from a 


general authority, but we'll be able to stop by Andy's and get some 


frozen custard. It's also situated across the street from the first 


Wal-Mart. And then on Saturday we have interviews with President Seal.





Today we're going to TJ Maxx in Fayetteville (with permission from 


the Zone Leaders, of course) to buy some ties. I was able to buy a 


good one at 1/2 and 1/2 a couple weeks ago.





Anyway, I'd better get going. As a heads up, the 8th of October is 


Columbus Day, which if I recall correctly is a national holiday, so I 


may not be able to do any e-mail that day. See you all later!
