Kyle has been transferred as we all know, and he is doing GREAT! Here are some words from our missionary!

the letters (in Tongan) are a,e,i,o,u,m,n,ng,t,k,f,l,s,p,v

haha im already learning some tongan words and i know how to pronounce it already so that has helped me!
i have a tongan preach my gospel book and im gonna be getting a tongan learning packet for effective teaching! As far as i know ill be on kauai for the rest of my mission... or maybe ill go to big island or maui! haha but who knows? ofa i api (i's are pronounced as an e sound) that means love at home!im super excited to learn the language though! and i cant wait till im fluent!haha
town called kalaheo. with the area were teaching 3 people and we plan to commit one for baptism at the next appointment for march (she has a word of wisdom problem) the area is pretty big! i went from covering like 1/3 of a town to covering about 5 towns! haha half the members are less active over here... oh also we email a whole lot earlier than in mililani! we usually email around 8-9 am so thats fun!
my comp isnt as bad as i had been prepared to deal with. im working on him subtlely because i want the end of his mission to be good and i want him to work hard. so i just suggest things (and i drive) and he is cool with what i suggest (i present it in a way that makes it desireable to do!) and ive also learned to pick my battles. some things arent worth fighting for. like if he doesnt get up in the morning to exercise then im not gonna fight him over it because thats his time. so thats a valuable lesson ive learned... pick your battles!
haha other than that things are great and im excited for the transfer!

i love you

kyle
