Another letter from Chuuk... Finally!!

January 25, 2015

Hey the Internet is up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So my house is good just have kids asking for everything and a half, but it has gotten better.

Dad asked if I pulled money out before I left Guam and yes I did.  I knew that there would be absolutly no food in Mechitiw because it was near the end of the month. I get there and I was correct there was nothing. Sorry if it messed up some master plan but I felt hunger was a good reason.

So I got the 3 boxes. Thank you so much for the protein drink powder, it has been awesome. I am still on the chocolate one, it is good and it helps a ton. One of the boxes exploded and one of the ravioli cans blew up so everything was covered in ravioli! But it still tasted good, haha.

other than that everything is good. Yesterday was transfers and Elder Kleven and I are staying together. I am going to get to send him home because this is his last transfer.

I am good, no sickneses, no leaky roofs, just missionary work!!!

Thanks,

Elder Payne

Just a short letter.  But at least Dad and Mom know he's okay. :)

Including some older pictures as we wait for the next SD Card to arrive with new photos.

Last letter for 2014

Hey Dad,                                                                                 December 29, 2014

Ya sorry if you guys didn't hear all you wanted to out of me at Christmas. I just wanted to listen to you guys talk so I know that everything is still all right with you guys.

So about my companion and the area we are assigned to serve, Elder Kleven is his name. He is from Logan, Utah he is into dirt biking and off roading and camping, etc. The area is called Mechetiw and it is kind of like Wichap. There are lots of corrugated tin homes and only a couple of roads big enough for a car. I went to that branch when I was in Nantaku so I kind of know some people already.

What do I need you to send me? One thing that would be nice but is kind of expensive, would be a protein drink mix. You can get it at any vitamin store, and I want it beacuse it means I can eat a little less because helps fill you up. If you do get one of those, get one that I can mix with just water. But if that isnt an option a new watch would be nice.

Love
Elder Jeff Payne

Elders got together on Christmas day for dinner and phone calls home. Thanks to the Hardysblogspot for the photo!
