Dec. 3 Letter

My Dear Family!
Here I am emailing again. :) I'll just jump straight into it. So here's the news. Tuesday morning we went up to the hospital to get the results from Elder Sofele's test. They said that he has a worm and they wanted him to stay on island until the full two week from the parasite pills he took the Monday before were up.  We called the mission nurse to get her opinion on the situation (we had already been in contact with her) and she agreed that he should stay on island. We were both pretty bummed. We wanted to go back to Romanum. A bit later she called back to get some more info and we asked again if we could go back. Negative. But she suggested that I and one of the Zone Leaders go back. Sweet! So Elder Allred and I went back to Romanum last Tuesday. 

We had a pretty good week out there on Romanum, we got some good lessons in with our investigators and also gained another investigator. His name, get this :) JackyChan. First name only. He's going to be a good investigator I think. We've got him a buddy that's also a convert just about his same age, 15. So that will be good. We went to Pata again yesterday to do church and teach some people. Its a pretty cool island and Elder Allred enjoyed being able to see it. That is probably going to be the next area to open again here in Chuuk. That place has a lot potential. Good stuff.

On Saturday Elder Allred and I found out that the Guam people were going to have Elder Sofele come there Monday morning (today) to get medical treatment because his condition hasn't resolved yet. So this morning he hopped on a plane to Guam and will hopefully be returning this Friday with Pres. Mecham and Pres. Ringwood (area 70) for district conference this Sat Sun. So with him leaving that meant that Elder Allred had to return to his companion here on Mwan Elder Jones and that leaves me with out a companion... :/ So had to come in too. So I get to spend this week in here with those two Elders. It's sad we wont be able to work with our investigators on Romanum for a whole week, but I am excited to be working with them this week. Great guys.

...
My dearest family, I love you guys so much. I hope that you have such a great Christmas time. :) Such a happy time. I love it. I love you! Oh! And I'll probably call or skype the morning of the 26th here (afternoon 25th with you). Well once again I love you guys! I pray for you guys. I have the best family ever. :)

Love, Elder Aaron Walters
