It is so much fun serving a mission here in kiribati. I am learning so much about the culture. It is so fun sleeping on a buia everyday. I get to ride around on the whole island and visit all of the old people. I saw one who was so old he couldn't come to church so we did church for him. He is now my favorite old man here on tab north. haha he is super nice and just gets the biggest smile. We have had some good memories here. There are members here that we just ask for moimoto's from because he has so much land. He got mad at us for not making him give us moimotos. We helped him with his garden. He has such a nice garden. He grows onions and peppers and stuff. We have found 5 new investigators in the past 2 weeks and 2 of them are on date for july 7th!! We are excited for them. We went to play soccer in the furthest south town and it was super fun. But it was really hard to play on the dirt. We are going to go with an old man to look for conch shells in between the little tiny islands around our island. I also got to ride a motorcycle to church this sunday. It was such a nice motorcyle. We get to play kiribati sorry a ton. We made our own board. Kiribati sorry is nothing like american sorry. And kiribati old men and kiribati women are the best at it. ti ngaia. tia manga boo n te wiiki ae e na roko!! i tangiringkami ni kabane!!! We also have a gigantic bootaki(party) coming up in 2 weeks so we are excited about that. it is a mairrage and we have to come up with a dance and dance at their wedding for them. haha super fun!!

love you all!
