Yesterday was my first day al trying

something like sweet potatoes; In APP
pearance tits like dough bread. To-
day we went up the canyon iJr n
swim. We started about o y. M, anu
returned little uflor o n. m. This
canyon very much resemblsd our Utah
Canyons, only that there are few
different Ises. On our vsy back !

April l.--BFoihsr Brown has act mr..
rived JET. Ye,tsrday w had sbroihsr
and iwo sistsfs visit us. They talked
TO Ne In the native tosTuc, but we
could not undsrtu,d much. We used
what few words We had In aikiHg
them qusstisn and telling who W.
were. They made out to Us that they
were Mefmons, and also told Ne that
Brother Brown and spme other Elders
were up on the Pao htuio group. We
had teen told before about Brother
Brown being ny on that group, Tut We
nro expecting him every DAY. The

Tho natives carry It In bag made u
green leaves. IL tastcs eometbing like
burnt molAsses, only little more
pleabant. Yesterday was observed
hero as y holiday, II being Good
Friday. In tho streets was the place
where the young people would gather
to drink their rum.
Sunday, April 2.-rhls day IL OBJ
served here as n holiday more than
anything else. When We went down
10 get something to eat we passed
crowds OF young people who were
drunk and were still drinking. They
drink ip the streets, as the law viii
not permit female to 70 In q saloon.
All they have to do IL TO call out 10
the anloen keeper to bring them out
whatever thoy want. The young ma.
tive girls az q rulo arc nics locking,
but there arc some half caslel far ah. All
Of them In this respect.
Isupp0se you wonder how We speud
our time. Time passes rather slow 10
US, but hope II WON'T To long before
Brother Brown arrives and sets us TO
work. During the day We real some
OF tho Church works rad talk
10 tho natives when We have
n chance. This morning Brother
Fox and mystlt took walk
around tho ssashoro for a few nuts.
The coral reef extends out from tue
land about half q mile, where the
waves strike II apd make quite noise.
After returning from the walk we hold
Sacrament meeting.
