Whats up? Hello from Port Vila, Vanuatu. The freshest news I
have is that I'll be transferring. I'll be leaving Etas this week and I'll be
transferring to........ Still Vila! But now I'll be looking after Erakor -
Branch, Panganisu - New Branch, and Nmuna (Small island across from panganisu,
it's a Unit). I've been called as Zone Leader of the Port Vila Zone. I'll be
serving with Elder Watch. He's a large fellow from New Zealand. He's a big teddy
bear. I'm really excited to serve with him. That means my companions, Elder
Samuel and Iati will be in Etas. Elder Samuel will be the District Leader and
take over training Elder Iati (what I've been hoping for). I'm excited, it'll be
interesting. Both of us are new at Zone Leader (usually one is there to train
the other one). Uh.... what do I do? It'll be fun though. Now we 2 can just focus on the work. Zone
Conference for us just passed. All the missionaries from Efate island and Tanna
came together (34 missionaries). Including Elder Bacon :). We had some good
chats as always. He's the best. Sister Brewer, President's wife noticed our
strong friendship. Elder Bacon told her all about it and how both families had
gotten involved. She described it as a "tender mercy" of the Lord. I gave a
training about "how to begin teaching" out of Preach my Gospel. I used the story
of Ammon/King Lamoni. It demonstrates perfectly how to win trust through example
before even teaching someone. I love how Ammon taught King Lamoni in Alma 18.
It's was totally according to his needs. It's helped my teaching a lot.
President Brewer is the best. He gives some awesome talks. He makes everything
super intense. He refers to mountains a lot and love. So how is the family
doing? Are you guys having Family Home Evening? Family Prayer? Scripture Study?
(now I know). I hope so. I'm excited to be with my own family again. I wonder if
I'll be weird at all when I get back? haha I hope not. I hope my english won't
be goofy. If it weren't for Elder Bacon it for sure would be. I saw you replied
about my comment about feeling like not having a personality. Sad but true. I
don't know what it is. I can recall before the mish I was one of the jokers in
the group with my friends. I feel like I'm a tad serious and not funny anymore
:/ I hope Elder Watch will resurrect Jansen. Any advice on being more
lighthearted? Sorry I keep forgetting to write down stuff for good stories in
the E mails. Sierra's picture's were..... interesting, haha. The other day we
were eating and I caught a glimpse of Terminator. I was legitimately scared. I
felt uncomfortable haha. I'm weird now. Anyways sorry about the lame e mail.
I'll try to lighten up and give some cool/funny stories next week. Thanks so
much for all you guys do. Continue with your prayers and scripture study daily.
PS plan some bomb stuff we can do when I get back. It'll be fast. I want to go
out with a bang. I feel I have so much I want to accomplish but haven't gotten
there yet. Petal to
the Metal! Anyways love you all. Pray for me and I'll pray for you. Have a close
relationship with Heavenly Father. I'm striving for it. Tell me what your
learning in you studies and I'll tell ya'lls. PS sierra never answered that e
mail forever ago about her favorite scriptures etc. I want that ASAP
sierra!
Love,
Elder Sears
