Greetings from Chuuk . . . LITERALLY!

This is the letter that arrived in the mail today! I'm sure I've slaughtered the spellings here because it was difficult to tell what some of the letters are. It's amazing that after only three months on Chuuk, Elder McEwan is able to write a three-page letter in Chuukese! How much do you understand?
