Elder Carson Bowen Kiribati Islands in Marshall Majuro Mission

WEEK 101   July 8,2019   Mauri Well I never thought this time would come. I complete 2 years of serving the Lord on Thursday. Words cannot describe the things that I've learned on my mission in this beautiful country, Kiribati. I have grown so much and will miss these wonderful wonderful people of Kiribati. I will miss the language, the culture, the people, the fish, seeing the ocean 24/7, and most of all the Lords work here in Kiribati. Kiribati is so close to having a temple. ti teutana riki(just a little more). I can't lie, I'm excited as heck to come home to see family and friends, but will truly miss my brown families here. They have changed me into a better person. I would like to say that I've been humbled. The new mission president came arana President Foster. He's AMERICAN! I'm sure he will do a great job like President and Sister Larkin. Anyways, that's just a little update for now. I'll tell ya the rest to ur fac

WEEK 99 June 24, 2019 Changes going on here.  Our mission president, President Larkin and Sister Larkin, finished their mission and left last week.  We have a new mission president, The Fosters coming soon.  We said good bye to the Larkins by singing to them, Til We Meet Again, at the airport and then did the Haka. They said they would really miss this culture! Congrats to Bryson driving a car.  Happy Birthday to Katelyn and Trevor!  Cant believe I have two more Sundays, still working hard!  Took a boat to check on the north Elders then had to walk home in the water, took 3 hours!  It was in the dark and we had to go waist deep some points watching eels swim by our feet with the moon light shining bright.  Gotta love this place.  The brown son, Elder Carson Bowen
