Episode 16: So Many Cats

Alloooooo tout le monde, ça va? It's been a bit of a hot second. I don't really have an excuse, I've just been slacking on emails hahah Anyways these past few weeks have been super awesome!! It would take a pretty long time to list out everything from the past 3 weeks so I'll just go over stuff from this week (which was easily the best one anyways, so it works out).  Earlier this week things were not so awesome -- a lot of our friends were either canceling on us, not doing their invitations/progressing, or both. We had just tried to go to a lesson and our friend wasn't there, so we just sat on the side of the road in defeat for a second haha. Then my companion, soeur thelin, said a prayer and asked for Heavenly Father to lead us to those who needed our message. As soon as we opened our eyes, one of our friends who we haven't seen in weeks zooms past us on a moped. She stops and turns around and starts talking to us, and she was just having a pretty rough time wi...

Episode 13: Grind Time

Bonjour bonjour bonjourrrr  So this emails gonna be pretty short because 1.) Somehow the island/mission phones have all lost connection, so I fear if I send an email too big I might blow up the island and 2.) It's pretty crazy busy over here Anyways today's the last day of the transfer (aaaaah time is lightning fast) and I'm gonna be staying in Mataiea for this next transfer let's goooo! This is my companions last transfer so we're gonna just absolutely grind. It's gonna be awesome.  We found some awesome new friends this week, I'm really excited to see their progression. One of them is 17 and is going with 30 other people in our ward to America in April to go see General Conference, so we're excited to teach him. We're also gonna be doing an English class for our ward, mostly for the people going to America, but just for everyone in general! I'm pretty excited about it, I think it'll be fun. We also got to do our very first service project t...

Episode 12: Hotel California

Bonjourrrr tout le monde, bonne année aussi!! This week I played a lot of my new favorite game, "Is It A Giant Bug Or _____" (enter literally anything else in the blank space). Some fun examples from this week were: - dark spot on a wooden bedframe (could've been a cockroach) - wad of string on my bed (could've been a spider) - scrap of paper being blown away by our fan (could've been a flying white cockraoch, which probably don't exist, but you never know in Tahiti) - faraway pen on the floor (could've been a centipede, still traumatized) Sometimes the game gets turned on me though. Like when I went outside at night (always a mistake) and thought I saw a bunch of scraps of garbage on our porch but in reality it actually was like 9 big cockroaches  Once again we visited the Manutahi's this week, AKA the Elon Musk cat family. At this point it kinda just feels like I'm hanging out with my aunt and uncle. Soeur Thelin and I roll up to the house and se...
