This week has been good and sad! My companion elder jackson just got secretly bumped up to zone leader and now i'm without a companion for the next couple of days. So for now i'm doing splits with elder jubeck and Sagapolu! But the work here is going very good. Our people are so great.

This week President monson died. In case you didn't hear.

I went to bairiki and went to the prison! don't worry for a good reason.... kinda. I wanted to get a hammock so we went over there and they make bwai ni kiribati and hammocks and cool stuff. 

I had my first real bootaki! We went at 3 and it didn't start til 7. haha time in kiribati! They had a wedding and they invited us. We made up a dance and I may upload it some time. They loved it when we danced. They could not stop cracking up. The food was lined all around us on tables just bowls and bowls and bowls of food. I love the mini bananas. I grabbed like 10 from the bowl of those. haha. I loved the bootaki. They had a dance to deliver the cake to the bride and groom. They had like tons of different dances. They had people do cultural dances and i videoed every single one. They are soo cool! I'll have to learn some so i can show yall when i get back! But they just wave their arms and slap their legs a lot. haha we also played a card game with the old ladies(totally ok to say here to their face btw ;)) They literally wrecked all of us elders it was like 300 points to like me at -40 haha so that's how that went.

Right now i have a comp named elder perry. But we never work together. 

That's really all the exciting things that happened this week. haha

The language is coming along. I can talk to people and know what they're saying like most of the time. unless they talk like really fast like in talks for church and stuff. Then i can't understand. haha but I love the work out here it is so amazing. I hope i can email next week but transfers are this week. I may be going to an outer island and some have internet and some don't. So if i don't email next week that is why! love yall
