Meet my new favorite Missionary (besides Lee that is) - Elder Green. He has been with us for about a week because he first missed his connecting flight onto the Marshall Islands. He was transfering from the Christmas Islands to Tarawa (an island that you can see the ocean on each side of the road because it is so narrow!) When he first transferred to the Christmas Islands it took him 15 days on a cargo ship if you can believe it! Anyhow, it turned out that it was a good thing that he missed his flight on Tuesday because he had a serious foot infection that was going up his leg and needed antibiotics via IVs for 4 days. I really believe Heavenly Father wanted him to miss that flight so he could get the medical attention he needed. He is a darling Elder; great personality! He learned the Kiribati language, but they could not teach it to him in the MTC, but rather he just had to pick it up. Said that everyone on the island is always late to everything so he calls it Kiribati Time~ I guess that's something like "Mormon Standard Time"

The Shutes daughter in law, Maeta was born on Tarawa and spoke Kiribati (but she prounounced it Kitabay) something like that. Her first daughter was born still born. They named her Tarawa and buried her here in this little Salem Cemetary.
