Placed by the Gideons (Cubby letter 6/17/2019)

So a fantastic week I suppose.

So me and Elder Geertsen are getting a better handle on things currently. We found a bunch of people and handed out a bunch of Ana Booki Moomon. So progress. We've been walking around a lot recently, because we don't really have a place to sit down, so we've been fairly scorched by the sun. Sorry mom, te mwakuri moa. On top of that, I've cut down on my snickers consumption which is good for health and budget. Which reminds me, due to the close location of Kiritimati Island to the state of Hawaii, there is some good cargo here, such as Kool-aid, snickers, etc. But no rice or flour right now. Go figure. 

For a fun story, we saw a giant centipede, maybe over 6 inches long. It was on my arm as well, so that kept me up for the rest of the night. Apparently the bite of a centipede here can cause pretty bad pain for about 24 hours, so thank goodness it didn't bite me. It took about 30 minutes to kill it all the way, using sandals and rocks. 

for a Scripture, a good one is 3 Nephi 9:20. It talks about the need of giving an offering to God of a broken hart and a contrite spirit. It got me on a train of thought that led me to think that everything we give to God, was originally his. So is it really an offering? Yeah kinda, but what God really wants is our souls, because that is the only thing he doesn't personally own, because we have agency. Just seems like a good thing to bring up.

Shoot me some questions
