Loapwaloap en Pohnpei!



P-Day.. Washing clothes in the river with Suleen.
 

 

 

KASALEHLIE MAINGKO! How was you're week?? This week was a crazy week so ill just share a cool adventure thing that we were able to do! To day we loapwaloap en Pohnpei (Washed our clothes pohnpeian style) Haha talk about hard work! We went to a river type thing and carried our clothes down to it, we sat on rocks and our Relief Society president named Suleen was the one who was going to teach us! She assigned us our rocks to sit on and our rock to wash on! We started out by soaking our clothes in a bin with soapy water for about 5 min, then you take one piece of clothing and lay it on your rock and smack it with a paddle type thing, the you rinse it in the water and begin smacking your clothes again! Haha it is such work out! It was so much fun though! After we washed our clothes,  her mom had made us Uht Sukasuk! (Bananas mushed in coconut milk) Udahn Io! 

Here are some funny things that happened this week! 

1. Sister Russell gave a member some lotion and she said it smelt like a certain food that they ate, so she just started eating it off her hand! Oh man it was so funny! 

2. We found a huge spider the size of my had and i went to go kill it but it ran and we had no clue where it went! So that wasn't fun!

3. A missionary on Pohnpei got arrested for 1 hr. so thats pretty crazy! 

Haha well just leave it at that! I hope you all have a great week! I love you all so much! Thanks for all the support! Here is my favorite scripture for the week! Mosiah 3:19! 

Love, 

Sister Bowers
