Iakwe & Mauri! I, Darin Tingey, served a two year religious mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Marshall Islands and Kiribati which are two islands countries in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. These are two of the most remote countries on earth and boast beautiful oceans and rich cultures. In this show I sit down with other former missionaries like myself that served in the Marshall Islands / Kiribati mission and we discuss the islands, missionary life, food, culture shocks, conversion stories, living in huts on the beach and much more. Welcome to The Islands!

Episode 10: Canon Weaver - Marshall Islands, Kiribati, Nauru - Special Assignment - Outer Islands
Hands down the coolest mission! Canon Weaver served in the Marshall Islands Kiribati Mission from 2022 - 2024 and was one of the very first missionaries back to the Marshall Islands post covid. Building a mission from the ground up as part of the "pioneer group" had its ups and downs, but the biggest bonus of it all was Canon's special assignment. For 3 months Canon was told to visit all the outer islands in the Marshall Islands, scope them out, find housing for missionaries, and report his findings. If that's not the dream, then I don't know what is! After serving in Majuro, Ebeye, and his outer island jambo assignment, Canon continued on the dream mission as ZL/AP where he got to travel to more outer islands, Kiribati a few times, and even the forgotten (and forbidden) country in our mission, Nauru!
Bonus - Canon was a referee during the Micronesian Olympic Games in the Marshall Islands.
