In the Isles of the Sea

Ran Allim!! Im finally back into Weno and get to email! The past few weeks have been amazing and I really dont know where to start. Im just gonna talk about food today. The food here is pretty crazy not gonna lie. The people mostly eat something called a breadfruit, which kinda looks like a green brain. They pick it and then shave the outside off so they can kinda steam it in a big pot. The stuff that comes out of the pot is called kon. Kon is kinda like a boiled potato, I like it. They then take the kon and put it on a log and smash it with a thing called a puo, which is like a hammer made out of coral. The Kon becomes kinda like dough at that point they just eat it like that, it isnt that good. Now for the last, and the worst thing made by mankind. For some reason these people take the tepen, the dough, and bury it in the ground. Theyll leave it in the ground for up to 10 years.

Holy Moly a lot has happened since I last said anything. So Uman is amazing, all the people are really nice and accepting, but do have a lot of struggles. I am one of the two white people on the island, the other one being my companion. They think white people are really atutes here and love to come up and smell and kiss my hand, its a little weird. Uman is a poor island - there is trash everywhere and the houses are made out of old tin.  They have literally nothing and just live off the land. We have to go in at 6 every night because all the men just get wasted and then have these slingshots called puchinkos that they shoot metal darts from called phillipenes. The church is really good. We have around 50 people there every week and we had our first baptism on Saturday! His name is Ken and he's just super prepared to be in the gospel. The mission is crazy. There are all sorts of islands with different languages, and Chuuk is the best:). There are outer islands and the inner island...
