Mauri OOOO!!

This week has been an eventful one! This week me and my companion elder Lomaloma went to the southern part of our island. By plane. We flew out there and the runway was literally like a football field length. no kidding. We literally started shedding tears as we were coming in and saying prayers. haha We landed and proceeded to purchase our tickets. Then the truck driver left while we were buying our tickets so we had to walk the 2 hour walk to our house from the airport. We found some members who gave us some drinks. We thought we didn't have the key to get into our house but we did. luckily. The house is made of sticks and the ground is made of woven mats. Tab south is one of the most extremely ibuki islands. They get the least cargo out of anywhere because they have to bring it from the north side to the south side. We just had crackers and canned ham everyday. I had eel for the first time. It was crazy. But it was delicious. The lady just laughed at me for not knowing how to eat it and didn't show me how to eat it so i just tried my best and had like only a tiny little bit and said thanks but i'm good. haha We did church down there and we did everything. The members are way nice. We did service for them down there and we found a guy to keep doing the sacrament. We showered outside and the children just came and watched me the whole time. haha fun. It's like they've never seen a white boy before!! haha

When we were leaving the person told us 10 am. so we got there. and the flight didn't get there until 4 pm. we waited 6 hours for that flight. we were starving!! haha but it was fun to talk to all of the kids and listen to the kiribati people talk about us behind our backs. Then one person told them that we were boss then they felt bad hahahaha. ya But this past week has been super fun. More coming this next week. Love you all.
