Episode 7: Endgame

Salut! Comment ça va, tout le monde? J'espere très bien! 



This week went by at lightning speed. I feel like I just wrote one of these. I think I'm just going a bit stir crazy hahaha -- don't get me wrong, the MTC has been super great and so fun, but I know that myself and the rest of my district are for sure ready to ditch this place for Tahiti. 



Speaking of which, we got our flight plans, and a whole 21 of us are going to be flying to Tahiti on Tuesday! That is going to be a BUMPING plane ride hahahah, I can't wait. 



Happy late Thanksgiving as well! I hope you all had a great one -- ours was actually super good. We had a great devo, a surpringly alright lunch, a movie, some awesome service (our district crushed it), a concert by Jon Schmidt from The Piano Guys, and some suuuuper cool Christmas lights at night! It was honestly my favorite day of the MTC so far. 



We've also had a lot of shenanigans this week, pictured below. I think we're all just finally snapping hahahah



I feel like it would be wrong to not include something in here about thanksgiving/being grateful for things, soooo... I just wanted to say im so so grateful for so many things. Honestly, I'm grateful that I have so many things to be grateful for (grateful-ception?). I'm so endlessly thankful for my family, my friends, the life I've been able to live, this opportunity to be a missionary, the people and nation of Tahiti, and, most importantly, the Savior. He's the reason I have anything I just mentioned. I'm so grateful for Him as our perfect example of love, gratitude, vharity, patience, humility, faith, and so much more!



Again, I hope you all had a great week and are doing well -- next weeks email will be straight from Tahiti! I'll see you all then, au revoir!

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 ...

Episode 33: The Jeweler's Hands

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 ...
