that's right folks. i got to go back to the promised land. The paradise. GAUAAAAAAA man it was so sick.

like honestly im at a loss of words. i dunno what to say! ok i'll just try and say a few lil experiences whilst there and then you'll see. 

i went on exchanges with elder albao and elder child! elder child was just born on the mission and his womb is gaua! what a lucky punk! but he's really chill. elder albao went with elder toaniuea to south east gaua (a villiage/area called kwition) and i stayed with elder child in airport area! 

things that are dope about gaua: 1) the rain water tastes delicious. like 10/10 best rain water in vaunatu. 2) the members here treat you like actual family. like. coming back and seeing mama algoresom and mama christine! they're like my straight adopted moms. 3) the missionary work is going amazing in gaua! there's so many people who like. walk up to the missionaries and ask them. hey. why are you guys here? *missionaries relate their purpose* yes please come and teach me now. 😍😎 4) it's fetching paradise! like look at dem pix! google gaua pictures! whattttttt

but! whilst in gaua i was no longer elder hyatt i was zone leader hyatt and had to try and pass every single thing i've learned to elder child. and it was kinda funny cuz at the end of the exchange, elder child said. i feel like i've learned more in the past 2.5 days than i have in the past month. 😁 mission as a zoneleader accomplishedddddd sickkkkk

man i love serving in the bush so much. i hope i die in the bush. no offense to being a zone leader and dying in town but dying in the bush is so much more peaceful and stress free. but alas. i'll go where you want me to go dear lord. if im meant to die in town. so be it. 

also transfers came! and surprise surprise, im staying as zone leader! but it's gonna be sick cuz im probs gonna get to go to ambae next transfer along with perhaps kula or gaua again so it's p sick to be a zl in santo. whence i go to ambae i'll have been to 5/6 provinces in vanuatu. but the chances of me making it to the last one are quite slim. 

that's all for now. lil short story not quite a book.
elder hyatt vi
