Home as in Bikenibeu in Tarawa where i started that is. It is great the work is amazing and i am going to be District leader it is so weird being back in Tarawa after 6 months i miss Abaiang like crazy it was sad going to the different villages and members with investigators for the last time, but all a part of the plan. I am working with Elder Tonini and teaching him how to speak Kiribati he just came from the Marshalls. This week will be finding and getting settled because we white wash too! Ahhh! We are going to kill the work and do our best I am way excited to work here and to serve the people of Bikenibeu. Hope everyone else has a spectacular week!

     I know that there is a plan for each and everyone of us and that sometimes we don't see it until we have passed the bump in the road and we look back. But the truth is that the witness does come after the trial of our faith. I am grateful to receive spiritual witnesses of Christ's love for us I know He lives and i am thankful for Him and His church. I am thankful for forever families and the merciful great plan of my Father in Heaven. if we hold to it we cannot be lost. in the name of Jesus Christ amen.

Love, Elder Scot Carrington

This week was a wavy one. We had a lot of fall throughs and
investigators just not keep up on commitments, there were good moments
and things that happened but seemingly many more sad ones. Come time
for the Sabbath and we prepared for church on the small islet we have
started on, Ribono, to hold church for the members up there as they
await a unit or something to be made there and 20 people came to
church which is actually great progress. During the sacrament service
and church services I just felt so good, I felt the weight of the week
lifted and my Savior's love applied. Even though everything else that
day fell through It was a wonderful day and a very highlighted one. It
reminded me that all through our hardships and bad times, our times of
trial and the heaviness of heart and the struggles with the adversary
that there is One who knows and shines as a beacon in the darkness.
whose mighty hand hath raised me up and filled with sweet my bitter
cup. I heed Elder Holland when he said to take courage and hope for
better times to come.
  I testify He lives. As we again near that time of the year I would
love for everyone to know and remember that, not only this time of the
year but every minute after. Remember him and we have his spirit to be
with us. I love Him and know He loves us, I have felt it. This week
and many many other days before and know I will for many to come. Take
courage, choose the right, remember Him. He truly died for us and we
must live for Him. I love you all and say these things in the name of
Jesus Christ, amen.
Love, Elder Scot Carrington

    We have seen some pogress this week with finding new people to
teach and are very excited to help them on their way in progressing
through the gospel. We actually had a really cool experience on Sunday
with finding. We came back from Tabontebike and our plans and backup
plans fell through and we didn:t know exactly what we should do. So we
decided to pray about it and that would decide the answer as to where
we should go. We prayed and counted to 3 then said what we thought we
felt inspired to do Elder Kitchens said find a refferal and i said go
to Beitaake, our branch president. We went to his house and talked for
a minute then asked if they had someone we could visit at that time
and branch president:s wife got up and led us to the house across the
street where a man had just returned home from overseas and was
willing to listen. It was amazing and wonderful to me about the
truthfulness of the scriptures when they say that the spirit will tell
you all things what we should do. We have also picked up some new
people in Ribono and Takarano up North, but there is still always
plenty more to be done.
     I have a firm testimony that God answers prayers. I have felt and
built upon that testimony for quite some time. It is very true what
Elder Scott said that if we pray for peace it will come. Our Father
will always answer our prayers if we learn how to pray and not just
say prayers. I know that our Lord:s church is restored now because a
young boy prayed from his heart. We have a prophet who is led by God,
and we can know of his teachings through prayer. The Holy Ghost will
testify to the hearts of men the truth of ALL things. I know that
Christ lives and loves us. In the name of Jesus Christ amen.
Love, Elder Scot Carrington
