This week, we were invited to two Marshallese birthdays and finally fulfilled one of my wishes.
Marshallese Parties are awesome. They have us pray on the food and then they feed us first. Also theres singing and throwing candy and stuff at children.
They eat a lot of chicken and rice, and also they cut these huge fish in half and cook them just like that, so you either get a nasty tail or you get to make actual eye contact with what you're about to eat. The Marshallese people are super nice to us. Like I said before, instead of filling a Pinata with little candies, they just throw stuff at the kids, its much better that way. My companion told me that last time he got a whole box of cereal. Wowee.
Also, I've been wanting to take a picture next to this crane for a long time because its hilarious. There's just a generator and some ladders hanging from the crane, so while we waited for the Marshallese people to come to the party we took some fantastic pictures. Also there's this real weird pawn shop and a pile of animal skeletons that we took pictures by as well.
This week was pretty hard at times, but as a result of the hard times we were able to find more people that needed help and grow closer as a companionship. I'm a firm believer that there's no such thing as pointless suffering. Every time I have had something difficult, it has been for my good in the end. The Refiners Fire is super real, and equally purifying.
I love you all
Elder Thomas
