Pictures from Fiji... week 2

Letter #2 from Fiji Don't eat the tuna!

So Hello My name is Dallin Steven Moulton The ELDER

I'm currently situated in an Internet cafe and i'ts super Ghetto, but i love it.. The music is blarring ahaha. I'm surrounded by Indians(not the Feather Indians) the 7-11 gas station type of Indian. I a third of Fiji Is indians..

 I'm pretty burnt out right now. I caught this sickness that has been going around and I've been down for three days. It's still so weird being here. I look outside and gasp.. I found a great view at our flat and since our house is on a cliff I found a window that opens all of the way. I like to go sit on the roof... such a cool view.. you would be in awe! 

 

I'm so humbled to be here. Life is so different here and so are the people.  The people don't care about worldly junk. They care about work,family and rugby.. ahah. I have honestly fallen in love with the people, I suck so bad at the language. It really hit me when I came here.

We are teaching this family with pretty much women. There are three Marys in the family so I had to specifically ask if I could call them something different. They have taken three lessons from us and they want to keep on listening.. I'm not quite sure if its for the right reason.

 Here in Fiji, everyone will invite you into their home but they don't really care about what your saying. They think if you let a missionary into your home, you will be blessed by God and that is all you have to do. We are trying to change the way people think.

My favorite part of being on a mission is going to peoples houses. That is the easy part. The hard part is finding people that aren't busy.  

The Food..

I think I've lost about eight pounds since I've been here.  We don't have a scale to measure and I can't transfer Kg's, but the food is rough.. The first day we taught the lady. Sister Sara fed us sandwiches. Tuna straight from the sea.. like a week old... no refrigerator and the worst part is I felt like there were little eyeballs in it.  I felt a big pop. At that moment the two years hit me!  Feels like its going to be a long time. All chicken has bones, like little ones, in almost everybite and they are small. They love cornedbeef here and I'm gonna die just talking about it!  They put straight onion in it and I'm trying to get used to that. The one good Fijian thing here is the tea its called drau ni Moli. Moli means citrus and the you can just grab leaves off of this tree and put it in water and boil it and you dip scones in it.. I'ts way good.   My companion is keeping me alive. A small turkey is $140 here so for Thanksgiving we will be having ramen or something else. ahah. 

We have a brand new toyota yaris and its is so fun to drive on the dirt roads in the mountains. There is no suspension and you can hall. My comp is actually turning out to be an alright guy and he is taking care of me. I feel like a child here.. 

Well I've written too much,  If you want to ship a box of nutella, peanut butter and Honey that would be great a big tub of Jif is like 20 bucks. But atleast Fiji water is cheap.

My Fingers Hurt..

Love Elda Molitoni

Elder Molutoki is in

Sigatoka, Fiji

Yandra Vinaka.. 1st letter from Fiji!!!

Yandra Vinaka

I've been in Fiji for like five days and its blowing my mind still on how beautiful everything is..
I"ve fallen in love with being on a mission.. well less on being on a mission and more on loving the people. They are so amazing.

I currently reside in a place called Siga Toka (sing uh toe Kuh). It is so beautiful. There are so many pretty things here.. I havent seen it yet but if you go to the beach at sunset you will see wild horses running on the beach. I guess it is so amazing.. It seriously is so pretty here.  I'm honestly so happy here. I've seen the wild horses next to the road but not on the beach yet . I'll let you know..

 I thought I was pretty hot and awesome at the Mtc because I was pretty good at the language but when I got here I realized that I barely knew anything.. I am honestly so happy being here..

I went to the temple here. It is way great and  you go barefoot inside. It's awesome.   Ahah! I'm seriously home.. 
My new companion is named Elder Heath. He is a good guy. I like him. He is from centerville. 

Church is so weird here.. It's above a cafe or something and the president of the branch just teaches straight from the ensign. It's hilarious!   At the end of everyhour there is a man that walks around and yells to let you know that class is over.

My favorite part so far is that we were walking and started talking to this lady. She had a daughter with a big bandage on her head.  The difference between me and my comp is that he just talks to the parents and I focus on everyone.. So,  this lady invited us to go to her house and teach her.   The little girl is seriously the cutest girl in the world maybe four or five.. Her name is rapi (Raw pee) and she just smiled at me the whole time. I was trying to talk to her and she would just whisper in my ear the answers everytime. When we were leaving Mary and Rapi walked us half way but to our flat. Rapi gave me a flower. It was so cute! I wanted to start crying right then. I realized Fijians love people so easily and I'm so lucky to be here.

Oh Yeah The Food sucks.. Exept for the fish..

Ill send pictures next week..

Love,   Elda MOLITONI

Last day in the MTC

Dear Family,

I Feel like I am being released from prison.. but they are not letting me go home they are making me go to some deserted island with no food or water..I am honestly a little scared of surviving in Fiji.. but I know they will treat me so well. They will treat me how I treat them..

The Spirit is so strong here, Almost a little to strong.. I think Im dying.. How cool would it be if I got the whole family translated into heaven..??

I leave the GREAT United States tomorrow and I gotta say I'm going to miss it.. I'm going to miss the rolling hills, The Rocky Mountains the beautiful exterior of the Salt Lake valley,that gasp of breath I take when I wake up in my amazingly, comfortable bed at home. Coming home and saying goodnight to my Beautiful Mother then leaving five minutes later.The partially blue sky that looks like snoop doggs bus has just driven past.. I love "a"  Merica, The home of the free and the land of the needy..Love you,Elder Moulton

I'm going to Fiji!!! oh my gosh!

Elder Molipoki leaves the MTC. Fiji here he comes.
