Merry Christmas (No subject)

  It is the week of Christmas and I hope it is super awesome for everyone! This week was definitely different but way sweet because two way stellar investigators got baptized, Veronica and Pressenta. (waiting to get the picture my camera was dead) They are so solid and glowing with the spirit! We have received a few leads for some new investigators this week and are excited to further contact them! It has been crazy for work with Christmas break and the week of Christmas being here everyone is gone a lot! But it has given us some good opportunities to find with different efforts. I hope your Christmas is as joyous and white as possible because let's be honest we're not getting any snow here.. 

   Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year because we remember the birth of our Savior. We contemplate how to further renew and best our lives through him and make commitments to be better people and better examples of the believers. Let us give our best gifts of service for Him this year and strive to be better children of our Heavenly Father in word, thought, and deed. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. :)

 Love Elder Scot Carrington

This week was awesome! I just got back to bikenibeu last week and we found out that there is a family that was just refound the week previous who i happened to teach when I was very first in the area one year ago! I am way stoked they are super solid! I have another new companion and am training again so i got another son!! Elder Hilliard is the man, i mean Elder and he is pretty great at the language. I cant' wait to see him progress this week they really do progress pretty fast. District stuff is going well it's pretty fun and interviews are so spiritual i love doing them! Just a throwback picture of RIbono in abaiang me and elder kitchens.

   I know the church is true i can feel Our savior's love everytime we prepare others for baptism or help them back to the straight and narrow. Christ's love stretches forth to all God's children and I testify of it. I know that only through Him we may feel and have everlasting peace and joy. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and that Thomas S. Monson is God's prophet today. I love you all and know that there is a plan for each and everyone of you. I see evidence of it in the work and lives of others every day. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Love, Elder Scot Carrington

                                                      


Teaching New Tricks

This past week I have started working with Elder Tonini who just came in from the Marshall Islands to learn Kiribati and was told that I am the Elder to do the job! It's really not too big of a deal being that Elder Tonini is way boss at learning languages and is pretty much fluent now in Kiribati. We've both been out about the same time and he knows some of my intake from the Marshalls so it's nice to catch up. We went finding and tracting a bit this week and while trying to find a new investigator's house we came to another lady's house and she invited us in before a rain storm came through so we sat and talked about the restoration and forever families and she accepted to listen to our message. She told us afterward she would hear from the rest of her house and we should come back and check this next week. It was such a cool experience. It is way fun to be back in my old ward around the same time of year, really is like coming home for Christmas. It is so fun and such a blessing in my life to help others Discover Why.

   I know that there was born unto the world a Savior. He is the reason and I love the comforting feelings of peace that come from the knowledge of His birth and gift to us all. It is true that He lives. I testify of the reality and divinity of His love for us all and His merciful arms which are open unto us always. In His name Jesus Christ, amen.
