Cannibalism

We're teaching some cannibals, and they had me for dinner the other night! 

The cannibalism here is so fun.  If you think mosquitoes eating you is a little concerning--try having people feel the same way about you!   The Fijian's love me!

__*All jokes.  Don't worry *__

My companion the other day, turned around and looked at me as we were walking through the crowded sidewalks of town on Preparation Day, and just laughed.  I said joyfully and cheerily, "What?"  He said lovingly and amusedly, "I love it how whenever I look at you there is ALWAYS a smile on your face.  I never see you without it.  You're always smiling!  I love you Elder Howard!"  I said, "Well, Heavenly Father gives me lots to smile about!"

I have to be honest: Elder Nawahine is the best missionary I may have ever met.  He is truly one of the finest missionaries in the whole mission.  As the one who spends literally every minute of every day with him, I can tell you his obedience and diligence are almost superhuman.  I've never seen a better leader.  He has taught me how to lead, how to lead this area, know all the principles that make a leader get along with everyone and anyone, all the language tricks, all the things I admire in him, he has transferred over to me.  I feel like I was given the best trainer!  I am so humbled and grateful for him, and our Mission President's wisdom and inspiration in putting us together. We pray together too much--more than we should! And that's why we see more unity than is humanly, more miracles than is natural, and more progress in the work than we can believe!
