ELDER CARTER MCCAIN

MAURI!  So this week was another great one here in Kiribati! Hopefully you all staying safe sounds like the world is going nutz haha. No corona here so it has been awesome! We get to work everyday, which I know I am super fortunate for as I have heard a ton of missionaries are stuck inside. But this week was super great. Yesterday we had a little sacrament meeting with the sisters on the island, as we have been told no church as well! So it was just us and the sisters next to our house on a boua! Well we were able to have a little sacrament meeting and able to sing some hymns. As soon as we had closed our short meeting we turned around and all the kids from the houses around came to join us! We were able to sing Ngai Natin Te Atua ( I Am A Child of God) as well as a few other hymns with them. It was so awesome to see that even with church cancelled the kids wanted to come to church, so they came and sang with us. It was way awesome. This week we are preparing to get two more El...

Mauri Everyone!!  This week was another super awesome week here in Tabiteua! Things have been a little crazy haha with all the events going on around the world! We had to go bike to all of towns we hold church in, both North and South, and tell them that we would not be having church this week. But regardless of all the things going on it was still another awesome week. So my experience of this week I wanted to share was so awesome. Here on Tabiteua there is only a few priesthood holders. One of those men had a son that got sick this week. He wanted to help his son but he wasn't sure how to  administer a blessing.

The blessing he gave his son was so special and it was awesome to be able to see how a blessing was able not only to change his sons life but his as well.

Mauri Everyone! So not much time this week to write but just wanted to email everyone and let them know how things were going here in Tab! I was stuck at home all week as I got this bad rash that ended up being contagious, so wasn't allowed to leave the house haha! But it is all good it is all gone now and am excited to get the work back up starting again this week. My prayers were definitely answered and my testimony of our Heavenly Father always watching out for us definitely grew exponentially this week. So I was walking out to shower and this Kiribati woman just happened to be right close to our house and saw my arm. She immediately told me to stay where I was and told someone to go grab this plant is the forest. Long story short she began making me green leaf shower water haha! I had been praying for some help and thought the medicine from the clinic would be the answer but it came through the help of the people of Kiribati! Very grateful for the people here that helped me...
