Fatoni. He is Tongan! I'm super excited because he is really a blessing and he is super cool. So he came here on Wednesday and will be my companion until March 24th then he goes home, I will kill him off! My mission is
going great, we have another brand new investigator with a baptism date! His name is Bob Allen.
Alaska is still cold, like 12 to 15 degrees, weird I know!
Me and Elder Fatoni went and took a picture next to a animal, see if you can tell what it is!
So it's brown and near my fist, pretty scary. (See above picture)
The mission is flying by its crazy, also I will probably be here in Wasilla YSA for about 6 months, because after Elder Fatoni goes home, President does rare whitewashes (when both Elders leave an area, and another set replaces them) if he doesn't I will be here until May 4which is the next transfer after Elder Fatoni leaves, and that marks 6 months going on 7 months (7 months being on May 28th) so it's a little crazy being here this long!
So don't worry it was not a brown bear, it was a pregnant female moose!
We have been doing a lot of tracting because our Bishop holds the keys for missionary work, and he wants us to tract apartments on KGB road, so we said sure and we have 2 brand new investigators that we will be seeing this week!
I am also in a trio with Elder Garver, Elder Fatoni and me, an Elder got sent home so Elder Fatoni is with us. Elder Garver leaves on February 3rd and will be somewhere else for his last 2 transfers. I will then stay here with Elder Fatoni for 1 transfer then I will receive a new companion. This came straight from the horses mouth.
Elder Fatoni came from Barrow! And they also closed Barrow down until more Elders arrive. I wanna go to Barrow. Also they only keep Barrow open for just the winters! So I have one more chance of getting sent there! (Fingers crossed!!)
I love you all this has been my week, I love everyone and miss everyone!
Love Elder Orton🙏🏻
