Well the highlight of this week was the Hurricane, sounds like most of you know about it already. Since we don't get the news we found out about it when we tried to call the missionaries out in Vava'u and their phones were dead. Later that night it was so windy that the rain was coming in our windows and hitting the wall on the other side. It lasted about 3 days.
Personally I'm doing great. I have some mosquito bites that itch pretty bad on my foot again - can't figure out why they like me so much. I enjoyed this last week and was pretty excited for 2016. I finally found somewhere to buy coconuts. It's this boy in my neighborhood. We got on a regular schedule and he brings me 15 husked coconuts on Thursday nights. I pay him $10 TOP, or the equivalent of $5 US. He gets super excited about it. I did really good on my studying this week and it was nice to feel accomplished. Hope to do even better next week.
Some small things that happened this week:
-Found a leach about 6 inches long attached to my shower last night.
-We don't have a stove so I figured out how to make tortillas and we found cheese so I made quesadilas with the iron.
-After doing laundry for a couple of hours in my sink and bucket I hung my whites outside just to have the hurricane come through with a dirty rain and get all my stuff spotted
-The kids around here walked in our house and stole our mop and then broke it.
-I've been saving my Annies mac and cheese, but the humidity wrecked the noodles and made them all stuck together and squishy.

Companionship:
Companionship is going fine. One of us will most likely get moved on February 9th when the next transfer is. On new years we stayed up till 12 and played Uno, one of Mahe's traditions. I won more matches but he won the last game before 12 so somehow he's convinced he's the uno champion. We had a feast on New Years eve, we both ate to much. I had fresh seaweed bulb. On Saturday our Fafanga just brought us shells of muscles. We are supposed to eat them raw. Took me about 30 minutes to learn how to open them and then decided they weren't worth the time because they taste extremely fishy. We also had sea urchin which took the place of grossest thing I've had here so far.

Tonga:
Nothing really new here other than the hurricane which was pretty cool. Two puppies now live outside our house. Achilles and Alpha. They remind me of izi and hanz and are usually fighting our playing, and then peanut will come over like emma, he's a little bigger now, and tackle them both and they'll run away. I've smashed so many giant spiders I now feel comfortable smashing them with my hand or my bare feet. My comp said that means I'm adjusting well.

Love you all, I know this church is true and hope you all have taken my challenge to read the book of mormon.
Love, Elder Sikoki
