WEEK 27: Catching fish this "culture" way-Working hard! Very Hot here...
Mauri!
This week was pretty cool. Yesterday was super fun. We went fishing. We fish with a long stick and fishing line then stand in the ocean up to waist. My companion caught 1 and I caught 2. One fish was like a vibrant blue and looked legit. The other one looked awesome too. Here, when you catch the fish, you kill it right after so it doesn't jump out of the bucket. To kill it you bite it's head and crack its bones and stuff and then blood comes out and gets in your mouth, so awesome! I
have a sweet video.
Then after we went fishing for normal fish we went fishing for eels. When you do that you use an octopus for bait. We could only do this stuff because it was low tide. Anyways, it was way fun.
Nothing else really happened this week. The work is super good on this island. Me and my companion are leading the stats for the southern islands. One of our investigators is super faithful and is always early to church. His baptism date was last week, but he couldn't get baptized because we
just found out that when he went to Tarawa like 2 years ago he sexually abused his daughter and went to jail. So now we gotta wait for the 2nd counselor to the mission President to fly out here(he has his own plane) and interview him.
Just a little update. It's really freakin hot here. Hope all is well, till next week. A shout out to the McCauley's for thinking of me and sending a Christmas card! Super nice!
