:):) first of all i love all of you. just for fun, kosrae is pronounced CO (as in co-worker) SHrEYE (sr is pronounced sh and the r is almost silent)
actually, lelu (pronounced layla) is just a city on kosrae. we have a truck. the area next to us, utwa, has bikes.
elder conejero is great. he was made zone leader when he was assigned to be my trainer, so we are very busy and a little unsure of what to do, since we are in a whitewashed area.
the flights were fine. before we left, our branch pres. told us we could watch disney movies on the plane, so i got to watch tarzan and megamind on the flight to tokyo:) the island hopper is actually a pretty big plane, so it wasn't bad. kosrae is the farthest from...well anywhere, so i got to see chuuk and pohnpey.
our address is po box 186 tofol, kosrae fsm 96944
i think there is a branch in almost every area on kosrae. i know we have one, and utwa has one. church yesterday was good. i got up and bore my testimony in kosraen. it pretty much went: good morning. my name is elder gerber. im from utah. i know God lives and loves us. i know Jesus Christ is our savior. i know the book of mormon is true. i know the church is true. i know there is a prophet today. in the name of Jesus Christ, amen. everyone was soooo impressed ;)
we have been able to give blessings to some people already. dengue fever is going around, and i'm glad i know what to do.
we just taught a brother named harry. we were talking to him and he told us he reads the book of mormon all the time and knows it's true; he has read the d&c and knows it's true; he knows joseph smith was a prophet; he knows the church is true. we just kinda sat there with our mouths open. then he told us he wants to get baptized, but wants to quit smoking first. so he is working for dec. 25.....
thanksgiving sounds like so much fun! you will have to tell me about it:)
oh, if you want to send pictures, please send them either on a mem. card and i'll just look at them on the camera, or print them and send them. we buy memory space on the comp. and pictures take up a lot of room. i love you all and i'm happy. im really sweaty. i am learning kosrean faster than i thought possible.
love elder gerber
