Episode 6: Braindead

Salut! Yet another week in paradise has gone by, and I swear they just keep going faster. How is it already Friday?? How do I only have one more full week of MTC?! If it's not clear, I'm kinda freaking out



But anyways this was a week! Honestly most of its been a bit of a blur. All we've really done this week is learn Tahitian, and oh boy, am I terrible at it hahahah. There's like this wall in my brain that absolutely nothing is getting through except for "yes" "no" "who, what, why" and "faaitoito", which has no direct translation but means something like bonne chance, which means good luck. That's an exaggeration of course, but honestly when I'm put on the spot those are the only words I got hahahaha



One of our teachers was eating lunch with us one day and telling us some stories about some of his stories from Tahiti and his investigators, and he brought up a man named Dave. Oh Dave. We love Dave. He said some crazy stuff like, "Well Facebook can turn me into a werewolf, can the SCRIPTURES do that??" and other classic quotes that I can't remember because the first one was just so good it took up all my brain space, but yeah. Turns out Dave is in jail now tho! Classic Dave. I would like to meet a Dave in Tahiti



There's not too much else to report on, like I said we've got another full week, and then we leave the next Wednesday, so it's kinda crazy! I'm so so excited to get there and get out into the field, but most of all I'm just so excited to start spreading this message we have. Missionary work doesn't end with missionaries, though; anyone can do it!! There's tons of opportunities to be a missionary without the little black tag! I know that God's elect and ready are out there, and I know they're in Tahiti, and Washington, and Utah, and in every corner of the earth; it's our job to find, serve, and guide them as best we can. So, if you can think of anyone who might need a little bit of service this week, please don't hesitate to help them! It can be big or small, but I know God will bless you and them for your efforts. 



Anyways, I hope you all have a great rest of the week! Bonne chance, faaitoito, et au revoir/nana!

wow look at me only a double email this time and not a triple!  anyways these past two weeks have been good. ill start with transfer news: unfortunately I left my wonderful wonderful magnificent Pare secteur and was transfered to Tiapa, in the Paea/Punaauia zone. but no biggie because I love it here too !! <3 WEEK 61: this week was pretty fun. we had no member meals tho so we asked our bestie Sœur Doris (the best member ever) if we could possibly eat with her one night. so she graciously brought us over, and it was really cool because we got to talk with this girl and her mom that she was hosting! they were from Utah and the girl is gonna start her mission here in March! so I'll just barely miss her, which is so weird. it was so cool getting to talk with them tho and help her find out what to bring/not bring! (pro tip, bring lots of nail polish) the next night we ate w Sœur Doris again and she brought us out to eat. after we'd finished our meals we were preparing to share a ...

Bonjour tout le monde ! This week was suuuper fast, but it was a great week! Didn't get sick this time, which is always a plus. We had an amazing visit with an inactive member this week.  The work in our sector has been suuuuper slow going, so this visit really boosted our morale. We went over with the Winters and one of our members, and shared cookies with the inactive member and her family. It was just a really great, friendly visit that reminded me how awesome the work is :^) On Saturday we were at the house of one of the missionary couples in our district, and the wife (Sœur Winter) takes my comps necklace and starts cleaning the chain with a rag. She pulls too hard though, and the chain breaks in three pieces. My comp looks thoroughly distressed as the chain for her favourite necklace is broken, so I quickly say something like "don't worry Sœur, I'm a master chain fixer", knowing full well I've never fixed a chain in my life. Anyways, soon I've got tw...

Episode 26: Dune

Well hello there, howdy, greetings ! I've officially moved into my new sector, Pirae 1. It's right next to Papeete, so it's city and suburbs. But our house is suuuuper far from our area so we gotta bike through like 3 areas just to get to ours hahah. My first day biking in the city was very scary, I thought for sure I was gonna smash into a big Ford Raptor and that'd be it, but now I'm doing great! Basically a pro. On Friday night our whole district got together and ate Macdo while our district leader explained the entire plot of all three Dune books to us for like 30 minutes. From what I understood, it's basically if Star Wars and the Bible had a baby? There may even be more than 3 books, but I wouldn't know, because we stopped him at the end of the third book after half an hour. Not gonna lie though... now I kinda wanna read Dune. We have a senior couple in our district, the Winters. They're so so nice! Theyre suuuper new to French Polynesia, and when ...
