We’ve had a fairly busy week with several teaching appointments a day.
Finding houses for the first time can be fun because there are no
addresses, so usually a parent will send off their child to show us
where to go. The kid will sometimes even hop a ride on one of our
bikes. We have a few investigators who are pretty close being ready
for baptism, so that’s pretty exciting!
I’ve also learned a new Kiribati card game called Taroka that everyone
loves playing here. It’s pretty similar to Uno. I’ll have to teach you
all sometime. A Kiribati person also said I looked like Harry Potter,
which is a first for me. The people actually see quite a few movies
around here. Most everyone has a cheap smartphone for watching movies
and playing games. What happens is someone pirates a copy, and then it
spreads through the whole island. Right now Zootopia is pretty
popular.
In case you were wondering, the toilet in the picture in my last email
isn’t actually used for anything. Our actual toilet is stone with a
hole going into the ground. We use a bucket of water to flush it out.
We also don’t get to sleep in hammocks but on the hard ground. It’s
not too bad once you get used to it. I’m sure a mattress will feel
like heaven after this.
Not much else to say other than I’m doing great and I really enjoy
having the opportunity to serve the Lord and His children.
I tangiringkami! Thank you for all your support and prayers!

I built a fire to heat up water for cup noodles. We have a stove
now, so it’ll be easier making dinner when we have to
