Elder Carson Bowen Kiribati Islands in Marshall Majuro Mission

Hey hey! I'm on Nikunau still.  I fly back to Tarawa on the 5th (March), this coming Monday morning. When I'm there I will try and Skype! So if you can create a Skype or whatever for me and then send me my login and password that would be awesome.. I don't know when exactly I'll Skype but I will see what I can do. It's my Christmas Skype! SO I don't know how long I'll be on Tarawa, but when I'm there I buy stuff and prepare for going outie island again.. I'll probably be on Tarawa for a day or two, then I fly out to Nonouti. Nonouti is where all those people died from the ferry boat.  So I think I'm in for an adventure with the work.  Also I'm going to be senior companion hahahaha holy cow I'm not ready hahaha I'm so dead haha.. my companion is not brand new, but he is newer than me.  So I'm the senior companion, which means I am branch president conducting 5 different churches in one Sunday.  We go to one village and have churc

YES!!! Thank you!! Packages are literally the best! Catching up after not being able to email last week.  Two weeks ago we had that baptism for that one guy who was a little in trouble with the law but everything all worked out. Then this last week we just had 3 more freakin baptisms!! They're all like 15 but their families are members. We gotta do some tracting and find some more people. Tracting here is hard sometimes. With the culture, we go into a house and they have to let us sit down and usually give us a drink.  But sometimes they are angry and just don't listen. If you make them laugh and make fun of them they will like you and listen. It's hard sometimes because I'm new to the culture and language, but I can do it. There is like millions of dogs everywhere in the jungle and everywhere else. One of the members just had puppies and we told them we were gonna take one. They said alright. So we took one this one night after dinner and rode our bikes all the way

hey hey! Ah I miss the temple! Crazy sad what happened to those people on the ferry (88 of them with 22 kids)  They were taking them to Tarawa to school.  Only 5 found..... really sad as members died.  President Larkin is headed there next week to comfort families.  I hope he can help those people.  There are lots of sharks that come out at night in those waters.. that must have been scary! We just found out like 2 days ago that the prophet died. What the heck. We just found out. We literally have no contact with outside world here. Russell M Nelson tho.. thats tight. He's awesome and a genius. (Mom offers to send package) oooooohhhh packages are always nice! I really don't need anything, but since u asked I could use some deodorant the wet kind.  They don't have any deodorant in Kiribati. They believe in the natural sweaty body scent mmmm yummy. I don't know when transfers are.  Out here you literally have no idea what's going on. I just got an email that
