Family,
So this internet place is having trouble, so I only have about 15 minutes left. I'm really enjoying my new area. I've noticed that things there are very different than here in Koror. People rely a lot more on the land and on each other. I'm learning a lot as far as the language goes as well. It's been a fun challenge.
As for my companion. He's pretty funny. If you've ever seen Mr. Bean, take him and mix it with a Fijian guy, and you have Elder Rokodakunivosa (none of these Palauans can even attempt to say his name). I'm struggling a little because he kind of likes to keep to himself, and in an area like the one we're serving in, where there aren't any members or friends yet, it makes it hard. But we're learning. We've only been together for less than a week now.
This last week we didn't have a great chance to work in our area because we didn't move in until Wednesday, then we had to come back for District Meeting, and then again Saturday night because Elder Marshall was sick, and we had to relieve his companion (Elder Wright) so that he could go with one of us to teach some important appointments they had scheduled for that night. And so we stayed for church on Sunday, and then now we're here for P-Day. We'll go back tonight. It looks like we'll be getting a unit up there pretty soon though, so we won't have to come in every week for church.
I love you guys, sorry for the short note.
Love,
Elder Barlow
