Week #26: Elder Buhler Is a Senior Companion

Dear Buhler Family,

This is Elder Kim, and I just came in from Marakei on Wednesday

I'm just sending your son's regards. He has received many packages and he is very grateful for the five jars of peanut butter. Haha.

Elder Buhler is doing very very well. He is doing well with the language and culture. He is now the senior companion, and his companion is Elder Carrington, from his intake.

I have total trust in Elder Buhler that he will take care of the island of Marakei!

Anyways, I have personally forced him to write many letters. However, the island has been out of stamps since January. But he has many letters waiting to post off to you all.

He is doing awesome. He is very happy. Very Skinny...haha. He's fine.

Take Care

love

Elder Kim

Week 23: Loving the People and the Work

Hi family,

So I just heard from E. Young Cassie got a 31 on the ACT so that’s super good. Who knows, maybe she is smarter than me. So this letter is really just to say thanks for everything you all have done for me.

A mission where I have seen 1 white person in the last 3 months, and no outside contact gives a person a lot of time to think. Just know I pray for you guys all the time, and I also can’t decide if my lack of knowledge on the outside world is helping me grow and focus more on the work or driving me crazy. But, never the less, I know the world keeps turning regardless.

It’s not that I don’t have a lot to say, but it’s that I have too much to say. So just so you know I love you guys and I hope Josh enjoys the home life. Loving the people and the work.

Love,

Elder Buhler
