Emua

Village life is good. I'm on the northern coast of Efate in a vilage called Emua. I live about 30 seconds from the ocean with a nice view of a few surrounding islands, and the shepperd islands jutting out from the ocean in the distance. My mama and papa are very nice. I think my mama thinks that I'm too skinny because she makes a ton of food. My papa is a fisherman and a gardner. I have the 3 cutest kids on the islands as sisters. Beverley is 5, Carolyn is 7, and Susan is 9. They are quite the handful. They mainly just look at me and giggle but also like to poke me and play with my strange hair. The picture above is of my sister, Beverley. She likes to run around with knives and she thinks that broken glass is a toy. But thats ok, kids are tough here. Everyone is very friendly but also curious. Little tasks like washing clothes and dishes, or cutting open coconuts tends to attract the attention and judgement of 20 people atleast. I don't mind though. I am slowly learning one of their languages, Bislama. They correct me when I mess up and tell me how to say certain things. It is a slow learning process but going well. I don't really have time to talk about much else, but I will update whenever I can.
