Elder Carson Bowen Kiribati Islands in Marshall Majuro Mission

Hey Hey! So I actually leave and fly out this week due to complications with flights. I just found out that the island I will be on does have internet but it sometimes works so we will see. Every night we have dinner at peoples houses and it's awesome because you can just eat as much as possible so let see if that changes when I am transferred. So I have actually been gaining weight because my body is use to the food and stuff. The food is pretty good. Lots of rice, bread fruit, and fish. I didn't like the bread fruit at first but now I love it. The fish is sooo  good when its cooked. Usually really fresh too. I actually get to meet my companion that I'm going to have in a couple days in Nikunau because he is flying in for mission tour. Then after mission tour we fly to Nikunau together. Apparently he is really good at the language and will help me a lot. Also I'm gonna get lots of gifts too like kias(mats we sleep on) and stuf...

My comp there is this super cool black guy from papa New Guinea and I guess is super good at the language and works hard. I am probably going to be out there for at least like 4 months.. so I'll probably get fluent pretty quick. Also in Nikunau they speak so awesome. Their tone of voice is like super wavey/shakey/ and they kinda sing the language. Where I'm working right now(Betio) which is the bottom of Tarawa a...
