Dos Equis (Cubby letter 1/6/2020)

Mauri.

I no longer have a dope phone (for I am no longer a zone leader) so I'll be writing regular weekly letters.

For my real fans at home, they already know that I've been transferred off of Kiritimati Island, considering I spent nearly 7 months there. I'm now assigned to work in the Eita 2nd Ward on the main island of Tarawa. My companion is Elder 'Ealelei from Tonga, his name means good wind.

Not too much has happened so far, as I've only been in the area since thursday. I will say that Tarawa is about 4x more humid than Kiritimati, making it feel twice as hot. Just last week I slept with a blanket, and the past couple days I've woken up with wet hair from sweat. I sleep well though.

A senior couple that lives in our area is also from Tonga, and they've already taken my companion in as their son. So we haven't had dinner for two nights this last week, so we just had it with them. On those days I spent all day mentally preparing myself to eat a ton at dinner, and I feel like I represented my family well.

We are assigned to the Moroni Ward, and Eita 2nd, so we spent 4 hours in church yesterday, I'm sorry to say that during the second sacrament meeting, my eyelids we're a bit heavy. I'll blame it on the heat and humidity.

Anyways, a lot of change this past week, I've been pretty happy with it.

I tangiringkami
