Song 2 (blur) (Cubby letter/pictures 2/11/2019)

Well not too much happened this week, we are still in Tarawa. weird that you guys have been snowed in all week, we're going stir crazy as well. On Saturday, Elder Wright almost broke all the way and lost all the logic in his brain, saying that he is so frustrated that he can't do anything that he no longer wants to do anything. He then started complaining about we were going to church the next day and questioning doctrines. I think he wanted me to let him mope, but I started a doctrinal lecture about the natural and eternal laws of the universe to answer his questions. I think he was a little annoyed, but I am a missionary and I must preach. Anyways, we've done a lot of cooking this week because we are so bored. The highlights of the week were that I went on splits twice with Elder Angilau from my intake. We didn't struggle with the language as much as I anticipated, so I was happy with that. i am pretty happy with the way my language has progressed recently, but I shouldn't be content I suppose. Anyways, that's it for now.

Elder Cubby

I badgered him about pictures and asked about his companions health and if he was concerned about him. While a nurse, a lot of my patients had mini meltdowns. It can be really stressful, especially when you're so confined....

Also Elder Wright's leg is doing good, we might fly back to Abaiang on Wednesday

Elder Wright is still a solid guy, we're good friends. no I'm not concerned. And now his wound is just three big cuts where the puss oozed out.

pictures? and new senior missionaries and a new mission president.

Shoot, I totally forgot my camera so maybe not for awhile. I have a bunch but not any that you guys absolutely need to see by now. And yeah another couple came, apparently the elder amoungst them baptized pres Larkin. And I think it'll be about the same for me when he arrives, but I feel bad for whoever is the AP.

why feel bad for the AP's (assistant to the president)

The APs are in contact with the president constantly, so they'll basically have to teach the new guy how everything works. And the mission president basically runs the church here. so it sounds pretty stressful

What did you cook? 

Also to answer your question about cooking, we've made fried rice, a soup that I seasoned myself (The mission nurse complimented me on it), and some pizza. All I can remember.

But I did get some good pictures off of the Mission facebook page 

Tides out on Tarawa

Sister Larkin took this picture when he was writing his letter! SHORT HAIR.

Pigs on Tarawa

This is the contraption they make to get the sweet coconut milk/sap from the trees. Cubby says it can be really good or taste like vomit if it's not ready
