This week we learned that our house was cursed with black magic because someone hated the missionaries previously. They cursed ti with cockroaches that eat humans, but it doesn't work because we have the power of God with us. We just have a lot of cockroaches in the house.
I also found a book of Marshallese stories and creation legends. These are really fun to read. The origin of the coconut is a woman gave birth to a coconut. They weren't sure what it was. It had 2 eyes and a mouth (the 3 holes you see on the coconut). Time went on and he said to bury him under the window. They did and then the coconut grew into a tree. That spread to a bunch of trees. That is the shortened version, but it is crazy some of the things they say to justify the origins of something.
