Kiribati

How is everyone doing this week? Our Missionary is doing awesome! Like I told you last week, she didn't get transferred, and her new companion is from Kiribati, here is a description of that country:
 Kiribati ([kɪribas] kirr-i-bas^[4] or ˌkɪrəˈbɑdi;^[5] Gilbertese: [ˈkiɾibas]), officially the Independent and Sovereign Republic of Kiribati[19], is an island nation in the central tropicalPacific Ocean. The permanent population is just over 100,000 (2011) on 800 square kilometres (310 sq mi).^[6] The nation is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island,Banaba, dispersed over 3.5 million square kilometres, (1,351,000 square miles) straddling the equator, and bordering the International Date Line at its easternmost point.

The name Kiribati is the local pronunciation of Gilberts, which derives from the main island chain, named the Gilbert Islands after the British explorer Thomas Gilbert, who sailed through the islands in 1788.^[7] The capital, South Tarawa, consists of a number of islets connected through a series of causeways, located in the Tarawa archipelago. Kiribati became independent from the United Kingdom in 1979. It is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, the IMF and the World Bank, and became a full member of the United Nations in 1999.

Hope said that she will send pictures of her new companion next week: Her name is Sister Ieremia, Hope says that she is so talkative and outgoing. I feel that these two are going to "Tear it up" in the Philippines.

Me and sister 'Ulu'ave were temporarily companions waiting for our companions for 4 hours on Tuesday morning haha it was a party all we did was lounge in those chairs in front of the fan and eat snacks :) hehe

Looks like they are waiting in old airplane seats!

When I asked Hope how her heat rash was doing this was her reply: My heat rash is still rashy. and ugly. So if you would be so kind to pray for her, that the heat rash isn't so bothersome for her, we would greatly appreciate it.

Well that is it for this week folks, I pray that you are happy and safe. Thank-you so much for following this blog. i am just thankful that Hope is doing so well, she seems to really be enjoying her mission, and as her Mom I am so thankful that she is doing good.

Until next time~ God Bless~~~
