Last Sabbath of January

I havent written in awhile. i have been busy. last weekend we had church, a meeting for the evangelistic series, and then at night we were invitited to Mr.Johnsons house. we played capture the flag at PMA. it was fun. but this Sabbath was fun too. We went to Church and heard a good sermon from Pastor Norton. Their is so much evidence of Christs soon return...its crazy to think how we always seem to not take things seriously untill its almost too late. I will post some information later so you can check out the signs of the times! afterwards we went to potluck. its always good. i talked with Dr.Renkin (my adopted "dad") he's thinking of taking over the Dental work in Rota (an island near Guam and Saipan). They need someone and he's willing to go. but the country is poor and he will need help funding the clinic. so if you know of anyone who is willing to donate money, equipment, or other resources than please let me know. Im planning on doing fund raisers for him when i go back home. He is a good man. after lunch me and some of the SMs took the white van to go to Ngardmau waterfall. but the road was closed, it was underconstruction. so we took another route and just cruised to see what else was nearby. the can ended up stuck in the mud! luckily i brought my machete! (we had no water today untill 8pm. i brought a machete, a water bottle, and 5 coconuts to stay hydrated.) i cut branches of coconuyt trees and we placed them under the tires to keep them from spinning. it took us about an hour to get the van up the road. it was all up hill! but after we prayed and pushed the van one more time we were in the clear! went home to visit a sick sm. then took the van to the KB bridge and had worship. its weird. we were all siting near a dock. Mladen asked me for my Bible and when i turned to get it huge fish were splashing in the water and were everywhere all of a sudden. it was a bit freaky, i thought i was sharks or something. just a bunch of big fish trying to take out smaller fish! all the fisherman nearby were looking at us. i think they were a bit curious since they were nearby trying to fish on other docks but didnt look like they were getting bites! after worship we jumped in the water, it was fun. went to R.I.C.E. and now im writing. and its raining. im glad. now the rain tanks are full and we can take a shower becuase the water happend to turn on at the same time! ok, i'll write more later. i wonder what it will be like when i get home....
