I love being on a bike! and I love my new companion, Sister Kitchen! She is from Boston, Massachusetts. She is very outgoing, funny and loves to talk! She's awesome! Her dad is in the Air Force so she grew up living all around the world. She doesn't look like it but she is part Native American which is cool haha but shes awesome!
Fallon Indian Reservation
Fallon Indian Reservation
SIster Kitchen and I cover the Fallon Indian Reservation which is about an hour bike ride from our home. We usually would get a member to drive us out there. But its pretty cool cuz they live in their own communtity which they call "The Colony". Every street has cool names like Eagle Feather, Bear Paw, Black Eagle, Lizard court, and Golden Eagle. The government pays them to live out there in the reservation. All of the men have long hair. But I love them! They are awesome! Although the missionaries struggle working with them because they are known to be a lazy people. They all struggle with the Word of Wisdom because alcohol is very big in their culture. So most of our missionary work is out in the Reservation. I love going out there! They are the most nicest people everrr! Always so willing to feed us!
The Vaa'ivakas!!!!
We had dinner with the Vaa'ivakas last night! and the food was sooo good! haha We took home two pans of poly food that will last us the rest of this week! They are a senior missionary couple that is serving in the Fallon 5th ward. They are awesome!! They know Iohani Wolfgramm very well and they told me lots of stories and memories of him!! So it was cool to here them! They are from Riverton, Utah and plan to go back to Tonga to serve another mission.
