Tuesday: We had an awesome service project moving sand across the island to a members home so they could have a garden box. We got rice bags and rode about half a mile down from there house and filled up about 24 rice bags full of sand. Man that was a workout haha. We then made about 12 trips back and forth until all of the sand was moved. We also had to stop for a second a take a picture of a killer sunset. It was so insane how pretty it was.
Wednesday: It rained hard, and I mean hard! I actually did't know it could rain so hard and so much. So we were stuck in the house for a little while until the rain stopped. We had an awesome study time though. We then went over to a members house to do some service for them. It was more moving sand hahaha. We also had the YSA dinner at their house. The YSA is super awesome here! Two of them just got baptized right before i got to this area, and one more of them is getting baptized this Saturday. I am super excited for that.
Thursday: We spent most of the morning helping Baraniko (member) dig a well. The first 4 feet we pretty easy to dig, but once we hit water it got super solid. It took us about an hour and a half to dig about a foot haha We would rotate digging about every 5 minutes because you would go hard chipping away at the solid ground, and then get burnt out haha. After that we found a new lady and gave her the Book of Mormon, so hopefully we can keep progressing with her. We also met a old man who is super good at the ukulele. He played us a song he wrote and it was actually pretty good. So i asked him for the chords and the lyrics.
Friday: We had District Council about an hour North. So we got the YSA and jumped in a truck to go meet up with the sisters. The ride up there was pretty fun because the YSA was playing pretty awesome Kiribati Music. After district council we played volleyball and basketball for a couple hours while we waited for the truck to come back up to get us. That was a lot of fun.
Sunday: Guess what? We had to talk in all of our branches again today haha. It was supposed to be 2 members, but they didnt show up. I also have to Lead church next Sunday for 2 of our branches. Also something pretty funny happened, my bike seat bent all the way back to the tire haha. So i had to bike for a couple of hours standing up until we had enough time to fix it. Our dinner also got cancelled which was rough because we didn't have any food in our house either.
Well Love you All
Love Elder Jeppson

| I did a screen shot of where Hunter was calling us from. It is a families hut. Loved the pictures and decorations in the back. Hunter said that rain does not get through their roofs at all. Amazing! |
