I've made it back to Nikunau safe and sound with my new companion.
Elder Jubeck is from Florida. He's got a nice southern accent and
knows how to work hard. We get along great, and I look forward to our
future time here together in Nikunau.
Not too much has happened so far, but there should be a lot more to
talk about in the coming weeks. We did get one new investigator that
stopped us on the street asking for lessons. He really wants to
change, so hopefully all goes well with him.
Also, the day before leaving to Nikunau, I had dinner with a Fijian
family who had us eat at an actual dinner table with actual forks and
knives. The food was really good. I attached a picture of my plate.
I also have a picture of me with an axe. Elder Jubeck and I helped
with 'oroben', or chopping the ben (ripe coconuts) in half to sun dry.
This is how most Kiribati people make their money. 1kg of the white
stuff in the middle is $2. Fun fact for you all.
Sorry I didn't have much to share. I tangiringkami! Thank you all for
your love and support!
