Last night, I had just fallen asleep when I heard Olivia’s name repeatedly and urgently called from outside. I did not relish the idea of getting out of bed and go outside to figure out what was going on. Thankfully, Olivia came home just then from delivering “askims” and found the girls outside her window. They were bringing a big bowl of fresh fish as a thank you for the fish hooks we gave them!
The bonito are “running” almost every day. We often here the call (oo-ee, oo-ee, oo-EE) that means the fish are biting. As I sit on the porch and type, I can see seven to twelve canoes madly paddling around a large circle in between Marulaon and Karumalun. Even in the rain and wind that are blowing through this morning, our neighbors are skilled at pulling breakfast into the boat.
Aaron left yesterday afternoon to travel to Hae Village. He will lead a translation committee meeting to kick off 2021 and lay out the program for the year ahead. We anticipate his return this evening and look forward to hearing his report.
