(Letter to Mom) Mauri Tina, I Tangiriko naba, (I love you also). We did not hear any special instructions in coming to Nonouti, but that is definitely true if we told you all the things that go on here you would cringe, but that is part of the mission right? I'll tell you when I get home after the Mission all of the crazy stories. Anyway Yes that was Elder Powell in the background we have to walk the motorcycle across this 2 and half foot path because riding it would be a little more scary. Elder Powell is a lot like Elder Murri, It has also been commented by other missionaries how they are similar. Some of the things he likes to do are Soccer, He played the Cello and performed at all-state, and he told me he really loves clothes which I thought was weird but makes sense. His Favorite treat is Watermelon Sour Patch Kids or Mini chewy sweetarts he says either is great and is up to you. In the meantime Elder Kennedy left his towel so I am currently using it. Showers are awesome. I have not used it yet because we use the bucket shower is so awesome. What we use is called a bai which is about 2 yards of fabric that you wrap around your private parts and slip off your garments and use that water with Chlorine and a small cup and pour it on yourself and basically wash that way so much more effective. The Welcoming Party was basically the Matang members. I'll try and share those photos with you. What they said to do is every six months is to send home a zip drive of the first 6 months of pictures, but still keep the sd card. So basically copy them and send them home. So I may need a couple more zip drives. Sorry for that tangent. So the welcoming party Elder Powell said wasn't that good because everyone was really tired so it was kind of dead. It consisted of a lot of food and some singing by the Relief Society Sisters. I do have that book I'll have to read it and reevaluate myself. But the biking has been strenuous but has gotten better with practice. I ataia bwa e maiu Iesu Kristo. I kakoaua bwa rinanon Iesu Kristo ti kona ni manga oki nakoin Tamara are i Karawa. I ataia bwa e Korakai Iesu Kristo bwa ti aonga kabwaran ara bure. I ataia bwa e tangirira te Atua ao bwa ti bon natin ngaia Tamara are i Karawa. I tangiriko, Elder Ekaki PS I told dad some of things I would like in my package but the main thing I would like is a lot of the water flavoring packets because that is what helps to get over the flavor of the well water. I'm very grateful for an awesome water filtration system that takes care of most of it. One of things we might have to do this week is clean out our well as it seems some soap has fallen in. I definitely have something for you to try when I get back home it is what they consider as there dessert here and is really good with rice. The question is, can I find that fruit in America? (Letter to Dad) Mauri Dad, This week has been great. Sounds like you have a lot to do Hey I have assigned Josh and Nate to take charge of Family Home Evening and they are supposed to come up with a spiritual thought I pushed them more to their experience at the temple and wanted them to lead the discussion about how they felt and share those feelings. Well some things that would be nice is some more pens, Mac and Cheese sounds really good, but the number one thing would be lots of water flavor packets to help with the taste of the water I'm almost out Well I love you lot and I ataia bwa e koaua Ana Ekaretia Iesu Kristo. I Kakoaua bwa e maiu Iesu Kristo ao ibukin bwa e maiu Iesu Kristo ti kona ni manga oki nakoin Tamara are i Karawa. I tangiriko, Elder Ekaki (Letter to Sarah) Well it's been great Ekaki is actually how Haycock is spelled in Kiribati. And Sarah in Kiribati is Tiera So that is how your name is spelled in Kiribati if you want to use it. Any questions (are good in letters) I want you to tell me about school, your friends, what you like to do on your free time, and if you are pest or are you helpful to mom. To answer your questions: how many parties they have they are currently celebrating an mwaneaba anniversary. My favorite food would have to be the rice with fried ika (fish) really good if it is tuna. I haven't seen much dancing but we are learning one later today. Favorite fruit that is here would have to be the papaya but if i was in Tarawa the banana (because they're)super sweet. If you read mom's email it tells you more in there so you'll have to wait and read. I tangiriko, (I love you) Elder Ekaki Excerpt from a letter to Elder Ekaki about his stress level and how he was adjusting...
