This was a wild week, hopefully I can remember.
Anyways, we will start with walking through stories, that is
reference to almost all Elder Pence's mission stories came from out here in
Levuka. I met many of the people he told me about.
So we rode in on a large ferry. The boat ride is about 1
hour. I am currently sleeping in a Hammock. I like this for the moment, cause
it means no bugs can crawl on me. I am elevated. This brought me to the next
part. In my flat in Nakelo, I woke up with a centipede in my bed. Well, I am determined this will not happen again.
I was told coming in that the centipedes are bigger here,
well I have only seen one here, and it was smaller than the one in Nakelo
(could have been younger.) Well, I asked Elder Moantewa where the permetherin
was (most of the Elders forget to use it, so I kill the flat over with it.) I
dilluded it a bit, then I proceeded to spray the ENTIRE house. I did this in
Nakelo in hopes that it would be bug free. Well in Nakelo, the largest of bugs
would show up dead at random. I did so here in Levuka, bought some mosquito
coils, lit them up, sprayed the hammock with mosquito repellent, sprayed my
pillow and blanket as well. I woke up the next morning looked down to see the
centipede squirming, I decided to seal the deal, and sprayed him again for sure
measures. Wish I knifed it, but I cut of the pincers and left. Well came back
and it was not there.............. So now there is an undead centipede with no
pincers running around. Good thing I disarmed him.... This has now become war!
In other news, I have already climbed the 199 steps.
Gathered sand for service, but have not yet gone to Moturiki. We do that
tomorrow (Moturiki is a smaller island of the side of Ovalau).
Anyways the last part of the title is on account of Friday
where I was arguing over the letter Z. Well in other countries they say Zed,
yet when they sing the song they say Zee. Well this girl was about 4 or 5, and
while eating she was showing me this card with letters w-z. Her parents watched
and laughed during this whole ordeal. Well, she got to letter Z and she said
Zed, I pointed at the picture, and said what is this (it was a Zebra) Well she
then seeing the spelling, and being a bit distracted said the zed-bra. Her
parents thought it was hysterical. Well I think I won, cause then I told it was
the zebra not the zed-bra. She then switched and said Zebra (VICTORY!!!!)
