Mauri mauri!
So I'm not exactly sure what to write in this email, so I'm going
to start writing and see where it takes me. All the days and weeks are
blending in like crazy here, it's wild. I'm not sure if it is because
it's my second area, or because I've already
been out for 6 months or what, but ut's actually tripping me out a
little bit. One thing that I can think of that happened this week is
when we were doing service at our bishop's house this week. They had
like a weird wooden structure that held up some big
sheets of metal, and we were trying to help them take the metal off. So
the idea was some kid from the ward would get up there and take off the
nails first, and then we would take off the metal. But, unsurprisingly,
Kiribati people haven't quite mastered the
art of white people building, so the beams under the metal were almost
breaking when the kid was walking on them. So me and Elder Chun and this
investigator named Tekaeti followed underneath the kid and supported
the beams with sticks that we were carrying.
But the kid got a little show-offy, and ran ahead of and was jumping
around and whatnot. And as you an probably guess, one of the beams broke
and he fell through. Nobody got hurt really at all, but he did fall on
me, but I did dodge him and deflect with my
shoulder, because my father is a tiger and my mother is a puma. Besides
that, this week has been full of teaching lessons, tracting, meetings,
and eating dinners. That's all I got so far this week.
for a spiritual thought, this week we started teaching this guy
named Kabunang, and he is not the brightest guy in the world. He told us
that he drank too much when he wwas young and it killed his brain.
Anyway, he is really interested and really wants
to hear about the gospel, but he has trouble understanding us when we
teach and it is hard for him to read Ana Boki Moomon. So we taught him
about prayer, and when we asked him if there was anything we could do
for him, he just told us to pray for his help.
It just kinda shows me that if we pray with faith, our prayers can be
answered, because he is starting to be a little more understanding.
Anyways I'm healthy, I tangirngkami
He finally figured out google hangouts so we could text. Some things we talked about...
We have not eaten the pig.
Yes, I recommend Abaiang. (As a place to visit/vacation/travel)
They only sell short person shorts here. (He needs more)
The members are super cool here in Bikenibeu 1st.
We teach anywhere between 3 and 6 times per day usually. Mostly investigators. Alot of them are just the first lesson though, when we tract
Every Thursday we do a bunch of service, but we do some randomly as well
Do you need more toilet paper or something?
Toilet paper is fine, it was more like a metaphor for time
