First Day in the Marshall Islands

SISTER!

 

I am in Marshall Islands YAY i have finally arrived!

 

Its been hella crazy at the moment but I LOVE IT!

 

So marshall islands to me feels like samoa x20 for the heat hahaha

 

Its funny cause me and my mum (first soa) we are serving in LONG ISLAND which is what i was dreaming about in MTC crazy that its my first area huh?

 

The work is hard though we walk back and forth to the airport EVERY DAY shes' new to the area and i am too so we completely white washed meaning we know nothing so we door knock everyone's house how about i am black azzzz right now ahahah no joke

 

First day i looked int he mirror i was like aw i'm ok nekminit black like the night HAHAHAHA

 

Yolo just means im working hard huh?

First day walking did it 3 times and i died it took us 4 hours!

 

The work is hard but the people are beautiful honestly i cannot get over how kind they are

 

Like even if they don't wanna REALLY learn they will still say Aaet or Emman (yes, good/ok) lol

 

So we have a couple of people that we are teaching my ward is small but hopefully it'll get big

 

My soa's name is Sister Tafili and shes from Tulaele funny thing is that sister faasalafa told her to watch our for me and nekminit shes training me so she was so excited...

 

She didnt know i was Samoan and its funny cause we all be speaking samoan/marshallese/broken english hahaha

I have a couple of pics but i don't know how to upload them sorry so it'll probably just wait until next time or i'll try and get them to you!

Work is awesome but my soas are waiting we dont have too long over here and there is like heaps of samoan missionaries out here!

 

The other two sisters that stay with us in our apartment are Sister Moannang from Kiribati and Sister Notise also from Samoa
