Sorry it’s so late for
you guys back at home. We were out in
the rain all day cuz the bishop was gone with the key to the church so I
couldn't email!
So since General
Conference is in a different language here, they don't get it til next
week here so that they have time to translate it all! It still is on Saturday
and Sunday. I am loving it here! Tuesday
we had a District meeting and on the way to that was our fafanga, our our
feed/meal. We stopped at the house and guess what they made for
us...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nothing... haha so they gave us a
banana cake they had and we ate that as we walked to our district meeting. It
was pretty good I was surprised since I don't usually eat banana bread/cake! The
district meeting was good, my companion is District Leader so he taught it on
Palani 'o e Fakamo'ui (Plan of Salvation) After that we went to this lady named
Samoa's house and ate a little and had punch.
It was good! On the way home was fafanga again at the same house that
fed us and they remembered this time, but it still wasn't much. So we walked
home and we were just chilling there and my companion looks at me and asks
"Makona?" which means like are you full? So I said eh si'isi'i pe or
just a little haha so we went down the road and saw the ward clerk, Peni, and
Elder Finau talked to him and he went and made us some food while we hung out
with some members. We then walk to the house and they have fried eggs and
crackers with butter and some fried fish! Oh ya mom and some LOBSTER haha It
was delicious! They were surprised I
knew how to eat one! Some of them think that they are the only ones that have
certain things like lobster and pineapple and watermelon haha, it’s funny! Oh
ya the watermelon here is about the same as at home but the pineapple,
ooooooooooooooooooo my it is soooo sweet!!!! I eat whole ones by myself they
are so good!
So the next day we woke
up and went straight to a nonmembers home and had an umu, the underground pit
where they cook all this food! It was good ha then once we had put all that in
the ground we walked across the village and helped ANOTHER family do the same! It
was sad watching them kill the pig. They
just hold it down and slit its throat while it is still alive and you hear it
squealing and the blood squirting out its neck, NASTY..... ha but other than
that it has been another simple week! Played rugby for my first time. That was
fun! Today we were out in the rain just
chilling allll day! and I had my first pair of slippers (flip flops) break! It
sucked cuz I had to walk around with only one the rest of the day :( haha Oh
and my feet are starting to crack! It hurts.... and playing rugby I slipped and
scratched up my leg haha but still loving it here!!! Love you all!
