Lunch was chicken and pork ribs cooked over an open pit barbecue, rice (of course), and bananas. We ate like those from the old culture, with our fingers, on plates that had just been made from the leaves , or fronds of the coconut tree. I learned how to make those plates and also leave baskets, which were used to carry coconuts. We drank the milk from the coconut, using the coconut shell as a glass.
Marshall Islands Banana! These are the best bananas I have ever eaten
They are really sweet on the out side and tart in the inside.
Many games, which the Elders and Sisters somehow related to events or stories in the Book of Mormon, were played. A very interesting and fun day indeed. I'll bet there will be many more active Church members and islanders with stronger bonds on that area of Majuro.
What a fun experience! The food sounds really yummy too!
