The villagers love to listen to my CD player and hear amazing stories about the white man s land. God has really blessed in my language learning. I m hoping to learn the local dialect as well. Fortunately, many villagers know Tok Pidgin, so I m able to communicate to them and use them as interpreters. Now for the spiritual side of village life.
People live a well hidden, syncretistic life.
Hundivi is claimed as a Catholic village, but no one knows hardly anything about God or the Bible. Since the Catholic Church allows people in PNG to smoke and chew beetle nut, many people will claim Catholicism as their Christian religion. It s popular to be a Christian, as long as your religion doesn t hinder you from your selfish desires. The real truth is that people practice animism. Some places practice it openly, communicating with the evil spirits, cannibalism, etc.
