The next day we had a great breakfast and had a lot of fun opening our first area letters. My first area is the Naitasiri 1st area! My Comp is Elda Jonathan from Vanuatu! And guess who I am staying with in the flat?? Elda Burge!!
We don't have a truck yet and our area is in the middle of the mountains. So for the first few days we couldn't go far but we walked a lot and still found people to teach. Everyone is soooo nice here and it is always great to hear a hearty, "BULA ELDAS!"
My Fijian is coming. We had stake conference and hearing all the adults talk was crazy fast. I like talking to kids way more. There were a ton of times though when I would be walking and a Marama would walk up to me and say something and I had no clue what she said so I'd just do the classic Polynesian raise the eyebrows for yes and hope it worked. There were times I'm sure I looked like the white man blinking gif. I had lots of chances to talk to kids though and that is always fun. They say you have to make 1,000,000 mistakes to learn a language and I think I'm about 3/4 there.
For every meal at home we eat rice and chow with corned beef or tuna. Every time I get food my comp tells me it's, "Not enough." and to get more something haha. Just training me for the members I guess. Everyone always offers you food or something to drink and it's funny seeing all the things that our MTC teachers would tell us about.
Mom: Sorry I am about to run out of time. Sorry I had more pics but I got kicked off and had to end early. Love ya
