February 25 Letter

Mon, Feb. 25, 2013
Family!
    Hello!  The time continues to go and here we are at the end of February!  Yesterday all of the Branch Presidents and District Presidents were in Guam for a meeting/training thing (They left Thursday and get back today.  Elder Russell M. Nelson was there!)  So I ended up getting assigned to conduct sacrament meeting.  I agreed to do so.  (Ha the previous two weeks I had been asked to give talks, one of those was after the sacrament had been passed!  Ha ha!  Good times) Now I remember that conducting a meeting in English can be a little nerve racking and difficult.  But then getting up there to do it in Chuukese . . . whoa . . . Ha ha not super easy.  My Chuukese seems to be a little slow behind the pulpit.  Ha ha good times. :)
    Elder Vehikite and I are working great together.  His language is great.  He knows so many words, just figuring out the grammar and how to use them in Chuukese is where he is at.  So I’m trying to do what Elder Sofele did to me to get me to learn quicker.  Good stuff.  The work is good.  Finding new investigators is what we’re really wanting. 
    Today I read your letters from Feb 10th, the envelope with the cute little girl and the cute little pig on the back. :) Sheesh sorry you guys were out of the loop for so long on what’s up with me!  Oh man!  I am so happy to hear about Ben Fordham!  Please see what other info you can get about him.  Taran Bailey too please.  Man I love them.  A lot.  Also maybe about Jacob Hillman too please.  Taran sent me two short little e-mails a long time ago bit I didn’t respond.  Man I miss him, and hope he’s doing well. 
    Kara Allred!  That’s so great!  She’s going out just about the same time I did!  Oh man I’m excited for her.  Send my congrats.
     And 8 months . . . Yes, amazing.  Sometimes the thought is : How’s it been that long?”  Other times “Wow, I’ve made it this long but still so much farther to go. . .”  But all in all, it’s super great.  It’s been quick and I assume it will continue to be quick.  So now’s the time to work and not worry about time too much. 
    Well got to go.  I love you lots family. :) You guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Elder Aaron Lane Walters
