Mud, Mud and more mud

I love my area. It is such an adventure and the people are amazing! We one of the only areas in which the areas are fed every night. It is wonderful! It has been crazy cold here though. haha Wailoku is said to be one of the coldest areas too. I am very grateful for the one blanket that I have that manages to keep me warm not only while sleeping but during studies as well... haha It also rains A TON here. Because of all the rain, it is also very muddy..

We were laughing super hard the other day when we were walking in 10 inches of mud to go visit two less active members. At one point, we were standing on a slope and laughing SO hard as we found ourselves slowly sliding down it in the mud without even moving. We went a good 6 feet before stopping. It was funny!

We have a really awesome Indian family in our area. They feed us every Sunday and have really taken us in as daughters. The mom gave my companion and I our own Sari and so we have fun trying them on again with our Sister Training Leaders who were visiting for exchanges!

Io (yes) from left to right goes, Sister Isoa, Sister I'aulualo (my comp.) and me.

Exchanges with Sister Isoa in Samabula! It was fun! Ate 3 dinners, lots of fish, and taught some good lessons. Also, Learned how to pray in Kiribati. :D

LOL. I finally slipped. It was inevitable. Especially with all the mud. Well, one night, we were coming down from a Less Active member who's house was way on a hill in the bush and they way to get to it very steep. We went to it when it was light outside and when we came out it was dark. We started walking down but soon got lots and found ourselves laughing really hard as we stumbled through the forest until finding the mud path again. Lol. We were in front of another less Active's house when we both slipped and couldn't really get back up because it was super muddy. The kids were laughing from inside. haha We got up and walked home to change really fast before heading to dinner. It was a grand adventure. hahaha

Kaitolo: Is said about someone when they come from a bush area in to the city and everything is so new for them.

This is me every time we come into town on P-days to email and play with our Zone. haha The photo is of me sitting on the couch at another set of sister's flat. It was a nice couch and I was freaking out about it because we don't have a couch and I was excited to sit on it. Lol
