told me that he remembers seeing me when I was there. That I came up to his door and as he locked it because he was afraid that if he would have let me in he would join the rnrci church so much sooner. He was the branch president father. Later we went into the as Branch president office and I just ask him about all the people I taught and he would tell )OUt me if this joined or they died. It was such a great experience to have been there to see the sen growth and to here the stories of the Marshallese people. I told him I was always worried that the Marshallese would not accept responsibility in the calling of the church. The branch president told me this story.
