Have been reading some Nauruan history this past week. The island must have been a really beautiful place when the first outsiders came across it. I am always interested in history and how people relied upon their environment. In particular the coconut tree is called the "tree of life." Was told this week that you could build your entire house from the coconut tree plus sustain good health from the fruit. Think this is just amazing and what a testament to God's creation. The arrival of outsiders to this island cannot improve upon that!
