Mauri everyone!
As the subject line says, I've landed safely in an island called Onotoa. My new companion is Elder Payne from Utah. So far, I've adjusted again pretty quickly to the living circumstances here. Back to bucket showers and little nutrition. Our house is good, though. It's a concrete house with actual glass windows and a door.

We have a rather small investigator pool currently, but I'm hoping to build that up during my time here. There's no branch here yet, which means Elder Payne and I are the ones running the Church here. We hold church in 3 different places. On Saturday morning we bike down to Taboarorae, the farthest village down south, about a 1.5 hour bike ride, and work there for the day. We sleep at a member home, hold church there in the morning, and then bike back, holding church in two more places along the way. It was pretty tiring. I haven't biked that much since being in Butaritari over a year ago. Hopefully this will help me get into better shape haha.
I'm looking forward to the coming weeks here in Onotoa. The work is rather slow right now, but I feel like we can get it going during my time here. We just have to find those that have been prepared by the Lord.
Tekeraoi ngkami! I tatangiringkami! Thanks so much for everything.

Another view of the inside of our house. The kid's name is Airom. He's a member
(I'll try to send what pictures I can. We email using a smartphone, so until I get a converter I'll be limited in what pictures I can send.)
