A Window to My World . . .

I am so thankful that I chose to serve a mission and that a loving Heavenly Father had enough faith in me to call me to the wonderful Federated States of Micronesia and then again to Chuuk. Besides missing out on all of the MANY things I have learned from my companions, senior couples, and the Chuukese people, I would have missed all of this beauty! SO glad I came and didn't miss it . . .

Thinking Ahead . . . Even Though I'm Not Ready . . .

Dear Mom,

Elder McEwan & Elder Johnson

For the college information, GO to byu idaho first, then uvu and usu. Look up...fall semester, then please start asking Brad when the earliest is that I can recertify with him for guarding and also Steve about doing pest control. Now the whole military thing...I haven't decided on anything yet, but I would like some info on other stuff that could help with college funds and all that. SOrry I didn't tell you on Mothers Day!! :) It's hard to think about stuff after the mission because I love being a missionary and I love it here so much!!!

Love you!
Elder McEwan

Last Zone Conference with
President and Sister Mecham

P.S. Please also, if you can, please send my Dwyane Wades with the Obray's (the white ones), along with a flash drive that I would like you to fill with all the P90X and Insanity DVDs (if it's possible, if not, just send me all of my Insanity DVDS) along with a new workout band. Hopefully that's not too much to ask, but I just remembered all that stuff. If it is possible for the Obray's to bring that out, great. Also, don't MAIL anything for a little while (ie letters, boxes, packages, etc. just because this transfer is almost upand I don't know where in Micronesia I will be.....)

Happy Mother's Day . . .

What a wonderful Mother's Day! We had 45 minutes of
wonderful sound and picture.

Hey there everyone!!

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! So, pretty glad that I got to talk with all of you guys today, along with Stefani. I forgot to ask one thing. Mom and Dad, if you guys could start looking at registration dates for colleges and also see about military opportunities. Just see if you can't get some information, just so that we can kind of be thinking about that stuff so that I'm not late or anything.

Well, things are good. That's really all I wanted to say. I'm glad that you guys all look great, and I love and miss you all!! Please know that no matter what, I know that this Church is true, and that it is our responsiblity to help further this work on the Earth.

Also, all the people of Sopwata say hello and Happy Mother's Day, and my cute little sister, Javyanne, says hi and that she loves you all (she's super cute, 4 years old).

Love to all,
Elder McEwan

This is one of the guys that took care of Elder McEwan
when he was in Guam for surgery last August. He was visiting
Chuuk for the week and wanted to "meet" the family :).

My New Home is Paata . . .

Hmmm . . . Wonder what my momma would say?!

Hello!

Hahaha, I freaking love Maverik, but that's still awesome that we won!! :) Has he decided if he wants to serve a mission?

Beautiful Chuuk Sunset

How'd the module launch go?

The garden looks good! Although mine is a little bigger!! ;) hahaha

Elder Obray was jacked to see Elders Wessel and Jorgensen, that's sweet taht they are both heading out.

Elder Ladore is doing fine, sorry I haven't been able to let you guys know that I'm in Paata, but yeah I'm in Paata, and the District Leader of the best district in the world, Fai-Chuuk district. Investigators are sometimes many, sometimes few and far between just because the church is so new out in Paata, but we're working on that and trying to build up some work :).

Absolutely love my Chuukese brothers!

I love you all so much!

Love,
Elder McEwan

Letter from Elder Telona . . .

We have been trying to write to Elder McEwan's companions so that we can get to know them, and them us. This is a sweet letter I received from Elder Telona, who was Sean's companion two transfers ago. I love all of the amazing Elders who serve on Chuuk. I hope to meet them all someday :).

Elder McEwan & Elder Telona ~ Serving on Romanum

Dear Sister McEwan,

Thank you for the letter. I am really glad to have served alongside with Elder McEwan. He has taught me so much. Thank you very much for your prayers. I hope you do get to visit Hawai'i someday. It is very beautiful.

Sincerely,
Elder Telona

We're All Doing Well Out Here . . .

The internet has finally been fixed for the Chuuk Elders! We were sooo excited to receive word from Sean. We look forward to hearing more from him and will hopefully receive a letter in the mail soon!!! :)

Hey family,

I'll keep it short because I'm going to be sending a letter. Thanks for the boxes and letters
that you've sent me.

Oreos that Sister Crisp made
with the ingredients and recipe
Mom sent

Elder Jonas is doing great and we're both trying to work hard, the investigators are going well there are just some wrinkles that we need to work out with them but we are hoping to have 1-2 baptisms this next week, a teenage girl named Miikarine and Matt (side note, his wife was baptized two weeks ago and I've been teaching him for about 5 months).

Thank you momma for sending stuff to Sister Crisp to make Oreos for all of us. We all absolutely love homemade Oreos!!! :)

Love and kapwongs seni jon Chuuk!!
