hello friends! this week has been fast! 

we really tried to focus on getting our investigators who are about to be baptized to be 100% ready and not afraid or anything. so we went to crossroads like 3 or 4 times this week! it was really great cuz while our district leader was doing the interviews for them i got to do service! yay! here in vanuatu everyone sees the white shirt and is either 1)afraid/doesn't want to talk out of prejudice or 2) respects the clean 'uniform' and doesn't want us to do any manual labor. but! helping a mama rake her whole yard of leaves and doti was great! i got really sweaty but it was amazing! i love doing service! 

but, sadly the baptisms didn't happen due to circumstances out of our control... one thing i've learned on my mish.. if something is out of your control there is nothing you can do about it. only worry about what you can change and leave the rest to those who do have control.

transfers are coming up! again! and rumors are a flyin. elder hyatt you're going to new cal! elder hyatt you're gonna stay zl santo! i have no idea where i'm gonna be in a week! uncertainty makes life fun! and like. everyone and their mom wants to know where they're gonna go for transfers. blowin up our phone. thursday! all i know is that a lot of plane tickets are gonna be printed!
one really cool thing that i got to be a part of on friday was a mission wide mlc! over google hangouts! the zone leaders and sister training leaders from all the zones tuning in over google hangouts to new cal where elder craig a cardon of the area presidency was! 2 hours of spiritual and leadership training feast. the only thing that was kinda meh about it was our connection in santo was pretty bad so we were watching over google hangouts but listening over a phonecall from our phone to the assistants phone in new cal. our phone hooked up to a speaker so all of us(sis ouamambare, brown and elder toaniuea and hyatt) could hear. very memorable experience. yay!

the elders of the outer islands are coming back to santo right now for the mission tour! elder cardon is gonna come here to santo from 8am to 5 pm tomorrow! and im in charge of preparing some stuff and like conducting the meeting! and they assigned some elders and sisters to be able to interview with the elder cardon and they chose me as one of them! ahhhhh im excited but also anxious! thems peeps have the authority and spiritual purity to look like. directly into your soul. and imma talk with him for like 10 mins. 😯 it's gonna be amazing! but im also a lil scared!

life keeps moving forward faster and faster every day. trying to keep up with my journal. im like one week behind at all times. wahhhhhhh there's gonna be 10 elders staying in our house this time around! 

that's all i can think to talk about right now.
