So again I don't have much time and the internet here is pretty slow.
I just wanted to let you know very briefly that I arrived to Nikunau a couple of hours ago. (Wednesday, 1:00ish) I rode a super tiny dinky plain here and stopped in Beru at one point and am now here safe and sound. I was picked up by my trainer, Elder Zamora. He has been out for about sixteen months and is a hard worker and easy to get along with. I am sleeping in the same hut as my MTC teacher, which is really awesome. I am the ninth Elder to serve in Nikunau and am currently the only white person on the island. Elder Zamora is Mexican. The islanders are holding a welcome party for me tonight after we go do some teaching. I am the first counselor in the Branch Presidency, seminary teacher, institute teacher, sunday school teacher, ward clerk, Elder Zamora tried to tell me I was relief society president too. Elder Zamora and I are the only Elders on the island. I am very excited to be here. I will write you a good solid email on my p-day, which should be Sunday sometime for you. If you could, please tell mema I said thank you so much for the letter and prayers. She emailed me but I don't have any time to respond. My mission address is: P.O. Box 400 Bikenibeu, Tarawa Kiribati Central Pacific I love you Mom! Elder Morphonios
