Well, here I am! I am chilling in the laundry room where
they have computers so people can write emails and such while doing their
laundry so that is pretty cool I think. The first day they take us into class
and the teacher starts speaking random stuff to us. After a little bit we
figure out he is explaining one of the rules to us, that in class he only
speaks Kiribati! He occasionally will speak other stuff to us in English every
once in a while, but only if we really aren't getting any of it. Our teacher
yesterday spoke a little more English to us but at the same time he said he is
only here for that one day because he is going on vacation for two weeks! So
looks like no more English for me. Umm... We are teaching our first discussion
tonight in Kiribati, but no one in our district speaks any at all! We have
seven of us in our district (maybe nine I don't really know) that are all
learning Kiribati together and are all going to the same mission, so it is some
pretty good stuff. My companions name is Elder Harrison and he is a pretty cool
guy it seems. In our room we have Elder Harrison, Elder Hunter, Elder Darm and
me that are going to Kiribati, and then we have two Elders going to Samoa and I
have some trouble remembering their names. But everyone is cool and such so it
is a good time. I don't know anyone else's email in the family so say hello to
everyone for me if you will! We only have an hour every P-Day that we are
supposed to be emailing so I think that will be enough time, but at the same
time if too many people email me I will probably email you and a couple others
but I don't know if I would have enough time to email a ton of people. Of
course the only people who emailed me were Jesse and McKenna haha... So I got
the package with my bubble wrap! Thanks! Ha yeah thank you for the camera and
for the power converter. Good stuff! I will attempt to send more pictures next
week once I actually have a couple more to send! We have been really busy doing
tons of random stuff during the entire day, so I get tired during the day, but
as I finish the day it ends up feeling like a good day. So that is good stuff!
I have been enjoying the snacks you sent because I am used to eating a ton of
little stuff throughout the day, but as I figure out more about the food here
and how it works I keep eating more and more each meal! Which I am not sure is
good... But it works! Well, I will talk to you later! Have a good week!
