​​This week has been one for the books! We had lots of classes this week and are getting more in depth with it. We are learning more about the culture this week. We have had tons of fun with our teachers and we all love them so much. But the next time i'll be emailing ill be in Kiribati!!
We had President Bednar and the nashville tribute band come yesterday and come speak to us. We had some cool stuff done yesterday. We did a service project which was putting food in packages for little kids who aren't getting the meals they should be. 

The language is coming along. They are teaching us about the culture a little bit and it just makes me so happy! they make fun of me because they are telling us some crazy stuff but im so excited to live that lifestyle with the peolple of kiribati! We literally have 4 days until we go out there. tuesday i fly out to LA, Then to Fiji, then to kiribati, then if im on an outer island i got back to fiji if i go to kritimati or straight to an outer. I can't wait to find out who's my trainer and learn to live like that. I'm so excited and i love the people already! I haven't even met them yet!!! 

I still wear my lavalava every p day. I love it so much. I can't wait to get to kiribati and get tons of them! I hear also they love soccer so that will be a win win for me! But when you pass someone on the street they are still so nice even if they hate you!! haha they say hi and ask you where you're going by saying "ko na nakea?" Then you say where you're going or you ask them that. It's just so nice! The fijeans fly out one day before us which is weird because we're going to the same place. But they fly out monday and we go tuesday. But wednesday doesn't exist for us. We leave tuesday and get to kiribati on thursday.

For exercise time i still love playing volleyball. I'm getting kind of good! i'm learning how to spike it now. The pro tongans are teaching me haha. They are so good. The games are so crazy! Tons of volleys and it's so fun. We have tons of fun.
see yall next week and stay safe!
