Mauri-O!
Things are going well out here in Onotoa. We've been able to pick up several more investigators this past week. They seem pretty solid, so hopefully all goes well with them.
This past Friday we were invited to attend a Cultural Day bootaki held by the JSS (secondary school). It was pretty fun. We mostly just watched JSS kids compete in different Kiribati events, like wrestling, husking coconuts, weaving mats, and making broomsticks. I also learned a new ancient Kiribati game called te Oreano. It's like an interesting cross between bowling and volleyball.
Not much else to report. Hope everyone is doing well! Thanks so much for everything! I tangiringkami! Tekeraoi ngkami!

Te Oreano. They run and then hit the ball just before crossing the center line. The team on the other side has to try to keep it from touching the ground.

Look, Mom! No hands! (These Chinese bicycles are really
easy to ride without hands)
Sorry, the only way I can send pictures right now is to take pictures of my camera screen...
