Hey y'all
Running out of time here but I sent a letter summarizing the past couple of weeks so whenever that comes haha
I'm really starting to like this island look (afro and wicked tan line). I'll have to see if I can't turn it into a wig when I get it cut so I can have it for the rest of my life...which'll be helpful when I get hit with the inevitable baldness haha.
You're all lucky you got to celebrate Halloween aha all we did was I bought a thing of tic tacs and then gave one to everyone we saw yelling trick or treat at them. I stopped after I started getting too many crazy looks...
Got some pig this past Sunday and then got kicked out of the house 5 minutes later when another church showed up to do their church in that house haha. I was alll smiles afterwards cause the pig was good and then I saw that both Matiare and Takaio weren't speaking...apparently it was one of the rudest things they coud have done and Matiare wouldn't go back to that village for a week.
Been pooping in the ocean lately...no more toilet paper...kinda like it though; wake up, get ready for my morning shower by bucket, hit up the ocean for a minute, wash off, shave, cook some noodles spam and rice, and boom we're reading for study.
Hahah I'm trying to hold up out here and be patient with Matiare with him not wanting to work because we're hitting a rough patch in the work. Nothing to do but keep on and hopefully I'll be able to leave here feeling accomplished in a month or two.
Love you all and just keep on cause if you stand still you'll inevitably start getting pushed back.
Love

Questions:
Did you get a package from Bro. Bahouth? If not, keep an eye out for that! Any other packages or mail? Haha no packages so far, prob not until I get back to Tarawa if any
How are you feeling? Did you get diagnosed with strep throat and get some medicine from the clinic or did you just deal with it on your own? No one to diagnose me...but I know strep throat and then it spread all over my mouth haha so that sucked but I started an antibiotic treament I found and been really cleaning my mouth (floss, brush 3 times, listerine) and it's doing wayy better.
What is fast Sunday like there? Matiare and I always bear our testimonies and then random members will when they feel like it, Oh and one branch all of the kids bear their testimonies without fail, reminds me of the fam ;)
How is that afro coming? We are all dying to see a picture! afro is...really big...a lady sent a picture of me and her to Klatt over facebook so if you can find him you'll get a pic of a couple
weeks ago.
Dad would really like to figure out how to mail a letter directly to you. Idk about letters but I sent one to y'all cause no email last week, It was broken.
What holidays do they celebrate there? Christmas for sure. Other than that they have their own Independence Day that they celebrate for a week in July.
What is your favorite thing about your mission so far? How rewarding it feels when we do work
Ideas for Christmas? I am working on your package... Idk haha that's too far away to think about
Daniel's mom: I have not seen the picture of the afro yet, but I will post it when it shows up.
