We have been Kiribati for 12 days.  First impressions are:  the people have very little but they smile a lot, there is one road on Tarawa and it seems to be the gathering place for everyone and even the dogs. We drive a Ford Ranger pickup and drive on the left. Because the speed limit in most places is 40 kph, we have had an easier time adjusting to driving on the left. We live on the Moroni school campus and wake up every morning to the sounds of young voices. It doesn't appear that the young people here have hard time getting out of bed since we hear them talking before 6 am.  We were reminded this week by Keith Chapman from the Pacific Area office in Auckland that our EXPANDED role as AAA (Assistant Area Auditors) is likely going take most of our time.  When we arrived we received assignments from the Mission leaders ( Pres Weir, the APs, and the Sister Training Leaders) to acquire Visas for all incoming missionaries, buy and send supplies to the outer island missionaries (it is hard to find many things like chain and door knobs), apply for marriage licenses for couples wanting to be baptized. We have been asked to attend the Betio 3rd Ward and Elder Jenks has been asked to be the Assistant Stake Exec Sec in the West Stake.  Sister Jenks will be playing the piano.  We want to do all that is asked.  We were reminded today that the AAA work should be a priority as it includes working with the leaders of both Stakes to see that all Aaronic Priesthood are ordained at the appropriate age and that it is Recorded, help train Ward and stake clerks on using MLS, and train audit committees. We hope to be able to mentor many of the leaders as we go about our work.
