Tour…1^st all day church event

There was a newly ordained priest, so he came to our church (which I am told is the biggest in all of Chuuk) to give his 1^st mass.

We spent all morning waiting for mass to begin…Chuukese time!

As with all Chuukese events there was food!

After mass there was a special meeting, some people spoke and then the real fun began! Each sub-parish danced and sang and it turned into a huge celebration! The crowd was throwing candy everywhere!

It was a fun filled day complete with a boat ride home!

Random thoughts…

Instead of the sound of cars driving by, I hear the roar of motor boats

I love falling asleep to the sound of rain on a tin roof

It doesn’t matter how hot it is outside…the 1^st bucket of a bucket shower is always cold

I have a new “favorite” food…rice…I eat it at every meal!
