All is Well!

We got a brief message from Dallin mid-week.  There is no internet on the whole island right now, but they managed to buy minutes through their phones and send an email:

Hi Mom, Dad, Taylor, and Cami!

I am sorry I haven't been able to email this week. We have absolutely zero internet on the island. So we bought a bunch of phone credit, and I'm on our phone's internet for a bit. Its really hard to type, this touch keyboard sucks. But, I am happy and healthy, our nurse brought some packages and such, so I have a backpack, Crocs, the chair, the rain gear, flip flops, one rubber Frisbee, and a tie. They just opened up the packages and President Weir picked things that would be useful. She brought it in a suitcase, so weight was an issue, and no books came for that reason. No food because it's illegal to bring it from Tarawa to Fiji. But I'm glad I got what I did! I read your emails, no pictures. They're expensive to download on the phone.  I also got some letters from Kalani and some pictures too. Basically a good week. 

My arm is healed, and I'm doing fine. We only spent a few hours with her, (the nurse) she came on the morning flight and left on the afternoon flight. She did however perform minor surgery on my arm. Ow. She cut it open and took out a piece of infected tissue, then cleaned it with peroxide. It worked though, its all the way healed now. Other than that, I didn't see her much.

 We have one baptism on Saturday, and a bunch on the 14th. Everyone is progressing!
 I'm generally good, but I got food poisoning last week, and I have never thrown up so many times. Unfortunately that was the day the nurse got here, so I looked terrible for her. It blew over in 18 hours or so. I'm better now. Sounds like you guys were busy too. Lots of fun. Work mode is hard, I'm feeling claustrophobic kind of. I've been here for so long its starting to close in. Were still doing a lot of work though, and staying busy helps.

Love you,
Dal
