Marakei

Mauri!

Here in Marakei, they have airplanes that go here every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and it's only a 20 min flight, thank goodness. It was so hot in that plane!

My new comp is good, likes to be obedient. He hasn't been out for a year yet. He is trying his best.

Right after I landed we rested a little and then we went all the way around the island once to give an offering to these shrines they have for these 4 ghosts - it's part of the culture of the island. It's also a 18 mile bike ride.

The church out here is pretty small. One branch, average of about 60 a week, with mostly young kids and that is with us doing three separate sacrament meetings. I also have to do an audit with the branch president...

Right now I am emailing on a phone so I can't write a ton, it'll be the same next week too; but the week after will be good.

Alma 34:32: "For behold, this ^alife is the time for men to ^bprepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of ^cthis life is the day for men to perform their ^dlabors."

Have a great week!
