Transferred!
Yeah so last week on Monday night we got a call from the APs saying
that I was being transferred off Abaiang and Elder Wright was staying.
Actually took us a little off guard, we thought that I would stay. But
anyway, we came in via boat on Tuesday, slept
over at the AP's house and helped them prepare a zone conference
training for the next day. And then at zone conference I learned that I
was transferred to the Bikenibeu 1st ward, and my comp is Elder Chun.
It's a lot different here, to say the least. So many
people, different food, smaller area (in terms of land mass), different
comp, living in a house, etc. Bikenibeu is in eastern Tarawa, and it's
one of the more affluent areas of Kiribati. Our ward is enormous, and we
have a ward mission leader. Wild. Elder
Chun is a bit different from Elder Wright, he's from Hawaii. He's like a
quarter Chinese, and the rest Hawaiian, he told me he can speak the
language (Hawiian). He's two transfers older than me, so he's not as dominant in
the companionship as Elder Wright was, just
because he's so much younger. He played rugby and football at Kahuku
highschool, seems like they were pretty good. Anyway, we whitewashed our
area, so we've been doing a ton of tracting, which is always fun. I'm
still not completely used to the life here,
and I kinda miss Abaiang. Oh well.
Also we are teaching this dude who is always tryna be crazy
philosophical, but I'm not sure if everything he says is right, but all
the other Elders love him. I think he's trying to find a shortcut to
perfection, but we'll see where it goes.
hit me up with questions.

Elder Cubby He gave us his new number so we made a quick call. I barely spoke to him as the phone was passed around to all the brothers....So he got an earful about the new pokemon stuff and bomber sports. He's sleeping in a brick house now on a bed. His companion is 6'1 and 260ish. So we looked him up and watched his film. He graduated the same year as Cubby, just came out a couple months sooner and he is a really good O lineman.
