This last week was independence for Kiribati and it was a week long
celebration it made it a little more challenging for work but we found
things to do and people to visit. It was very fun to see the
celebration and be a part of it! We went on P-day for a big part of
the day and we also became judges for a show they put on. On top of
all this we have seen huge progression in an area called Tabontebike.
People are coming back to the church after faith and lots of prayers.
I knew it could happen as we worked to help turn things around with
the Lord's help. We are picking up more people and it is amazing. Our
investigators are solid and I love them all.
    I love my savior and know He lives. His atonement is very real and
needed more than anyone may comprehend He atoned for all and it is
there for us infinitely to come closer to our Father. God is our
Father in Heaven. I testify of the truthfulness of the gospel and know
that through prayer and faith truth can be felt. Gospel literally
means Good News. I am grateful to be called to shared the good news to
these people and know that God loves each and every one of them and
has provided a way for all to return. With Christ we are made strong
and have the ability to change or hearts and paths to come to know who
we are and who our Father is. I love you all and say these things in
the name of Jesus Christ, amen.  D&C 6:36

                                    Rain Rain Come Back To Stay!


This week was crazy everywhere! after coming back from Tabontebike the
farthest village south we went all the way north and got a flat tire
on the way back so we ended up walking a lot but the weather was nice,
it didnt rain at all. but that turns out to be a problem because when
we came back we noticed that we needed the rain since the pipe in our
rain tank was pulled out and the tank was empty so now we are waiting
for the rain to come back so we dont have to use the well and buckets.
oh well it is all good here we have picked up loads of referrals and
we are excited for them! by the yard it is hard but by the inch its a
cinch! little by little we are helping to move things forward. we have
some very funny and awesome members and investigators some bare their
testimonies in the first few lessons to us. it is great to see them
progress.
I love this church and know for sure that it is true we have a loving
heavenly father who watches over and blesses us anytime we need Him if
we will ask and have faith. I love you all and bear my testimony that
our father in heaven and savior live. in the name of our savior Jesus
Christ amen.
Love Elder Scot Carrington
