Alii everyone I love with all my heart!

IT IS FINISHED (email subject line)

No I am not referring to my mission in the subject line! Ha-ha

I am referring to the Reign and Ministry of the legendary dynamic duo of Elder Climer and Elder Rupp.

After 10 transfers and 14 ½ awesome months; Elder Climer and I have finally been separated… (at this point in the email please take a moment of silence before continuing).

That is right, Elder Climer and I have finally been separated. Elder Climer is going to go spend the last six weeks of his mission in Meyuns with Elder Warr! Where they will be co-training a new missionary.

Sister Nakete will be training another new Sister, and Sister Leslie is on her way to Pohnpei as I write this email.

The topside Sisters and the Babeldaob Elders have remained the same.

Okay, I think that about covers it. OH WAIT! WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING TO ELDER RUPP?

THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION!  Elder Rupp will be staying in the beautiful Airai Aimeliik area as a zone leader and his new companion will be… DRUM ROLE PLEASE… ELDER CALL!

Pretty crazy stuff this transfer in Palau. I am truly going to miss Elder Climer. The past 14 months have been an amazing adventure! I have learned so much from him. I look up to him so much! He has truly helped me to overcome my weaknesses and become, not only a better missionary, but a better person as well. He has helped me become the person my Father in Heaven wants me to be. My future wife should just thank Elder Climer now, because these last 14 months he straightened me out, and whipped me into spiritual shape, so she doesn’t have to! haha Ah man, I love Elder Climer. He is the best!

While I am slightly scared to go forward, as I feel inadequate. I have full faith in the Lord that he will help me this transfer. I know that If I continue to humble myself and follow his will, HE WILL QUALIFY ME and his spirit will be able to teach through me to touch the hearts of these wonderful people.

I know that this church is true. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have to serve the Lord, and to feel close to him every day. I am so grateful to have the opportunity everyday to try my best to walk where he would walk, say what he would say and do what he would do. I know the Savior is with us all each day, guiding us and helping us. I know he lives and I know that book of Mormon is true.

Love,

Elder Rupp
