Not too much bekanako (Cubby letter 11/5)

So this has definitely been an interesting week. We took the flight to LA on Tuesday, then had a seven hour layover. Then the flight to Fiji left at eleven thirty. I saw Darla Johnson on the flight, someone I worked with at ENW. Twas a long flight, and I didn't get much sleep. In Fiji, our flight to Tarawa got canceled so we had to wait the night in s Fijian hotel, which was owned by Indians. Apparently there are a lot if Hindi people there. Anyway when we got to Tarawa, we went straight to a meetinghouse and got assigned areas. Everyone else in the intake is working in Tarawa, but I am in Abaiang. We took a boat the next morning, so that night Me and Elder Wright kinda  explored Tarawa. We had dinner with this guy named Tetabo, who brother Lutz would act as when we did mock lessons in the MTC. So we took the boat the next day, and we dropped off some sisters in Tarawa I eta, we had to walk through  bit of water to drop of their luggage. It was like waist deep in some parts. When we got to Abaiang, Me and Elder Wright spent awhile unpacking and meeting members, because we are both new to Abaiang. So yesterday, we justvhad a fast Sunday meeting. And all we had to eat after the fast were these crackers and some nutella we bought on Tarawa. But today some members fed us some fish, and it was the best fish I've ever had. Also the first night I kinda fell outside the bunga and now I legit have 150 mosquito bites. But besides that, I love it here so much, it's so cool. I can't really send pictures from here, so I will so that when I get back to Tarawa for Christmastime.

I'm doing great, love you guys

Elder Cubby

 

 

 

 

Also I will add some other things I found out during our conversation:

Elder Wright is from Utah, has been out 42 weeks and "He's a pretty solid guy, we get along well"

He uses a hot spot on a phone with really bad reception to email. These pics were taken by the senior couple that greeted them and helped arrange their transportation. They posted them on a mission facebook page.

"in terms of land area, I think we have the most to cover in the whole mission". It is them and a sister missionary couple.

They sleep in the chapel which is "basically just a really nice raised mwaneaba. we sleep on woven mats on the wooden floor."
