Mauri everyone!
Things have been going well out here. A lot less stress than last week haha. It's been a pretty normal week. Not much exciting happened.
Elder Wilson got to experience his first bootaki this past week. In some parts of Kiribati they hold a bootaki when a newborn baby's belly button falls off, so we got to attend that celebration for the grandchild of someone in our ward. It was kinda awkward though because they didn't start until 8:30pm (it was supposed to started at 7pm...gotta love Kiribati time!) and had to rush eating and had to make sure that the MC (Master of Ceremonies) knew to release us by 9pm so we could get back home.
Another interesting experience, we picked up a new investigator yesterday. Her name is Ereno. I'm actually still not sure whether she's actually messing with us and is actually a member, but she said she hasn't been baptized yet or lessoned with missionaries, so we're going by her word. She already knows a ton and even knows terms like 'recent convert' and 'area' (in English!) and also knew Thomas S. Monson, so I'm not sure what to think. Hopefully we'll find out the truth soon (aka do a lookup in the membership records haha). She's still a great investigator nonetheless.
I also just wanted to thank everyone for their emails to me. I may not have to time to respond to every email, but enjoy reading all of them and really appreciate your words. Thank you so much! I tatangiringkami!
