Dadaurete lel imwi!

Hey everyone! How goes it? I hope you all had a great week! Sounds like everyone had a great time at Fair! This week was kinda a rough week! We had a big funeral in our area so that was where most of the people in our area were! We were able to find a new investigator names Eleageem he is in his 20's! We had our very first lesson with him and he was telling us how much he is addictied to all sorts of drugs and how he has been praying to be able to quit! We ended the lesson and i had notice that he only had one ear! So after the lesson i asked the girl that was with us what had happened to his other ear and she said that he was really really drunk and he and another guy got in a fight and the other guy bit off his ear! HOW CRAZY! Ha so i am way excited to start teaching him!

We had a lesson with a less active couple the guys name is Alvin William we took one of our members Lisa Ellies!  She talked about enduring to the end and in Pohnpeian enduring to the end means Dadaurete lel imwi! The word Dadaur means to go up and she tied it in to how when we are enduring to the end we should always be going up, we should never be sliding down! Always improving! It was so cool the way she put it into words! So always remeber that when we are ETTE we are always going up not sliding back down!

So a while back I had mentioned how bad my english is! Well Saturday our ward had a talent show and us missionaries danced and I was laying on my bed watching the video and i say to Sister Russell "Holy we are very instinct!" and she starts laughing! Ha so i say it again and she goes "That is not the word!" so i layed there thinking for a second and then i go "OH insync!!!!!!" Ahahaha we had a really good laugh! So no need to worry i am still a blonde at heart! 

So back to Alvin William! We tried to go and see them last night and we pulled up to there house and the light was on, we got out and locked the car and we get to the door step and before we even say anything they hurry and turn off the light and it goes completley quiet! Ha Sister Russell and I just look at eachother and turn around, we got in the car and turned around, when we drove back by the light was back on! Oh man we were like you have got to be kiddin! HA so yes, people still hide from missionaries, its still a thing! 

I hope that you all have a great week! Thank you for all of your support! Love you all so much! 

Love, 

Sister Bowers
