Episode 20: Ed Sheeran Tim Tams

So my trainer, Soeur Thelin, died (finished her mission). RIP. I'm currently chilling in Mataiea for a third transfer with Soeur Sieverts. Yayyy! ... except I'm kinda freaking out lol. I feel like Spiderman when Iron Man died. I'm holding the area together by stringssss. It’s going good tho. We've still got all of our friends and we've got lessons and it's good. But sometimes it feels a little bit crazy lollll



I've only got a little bit of time to write this so this is gonna be a short one!! But it's always worth sharing some miracles of the week.



One of our friends, Vaitiare, has been having a really rough couple of weeks. Things have been really hard for her and her family and long story short she had nowhere to go. So we fasted with her that she'd find housing, and this week our prayers were answered! One of our members, the Wongs, took her in! It's not permanent housing of course, but it's such a huge blessing wrought by the power of fasting and prayer :^) if you guys could say some prayers for Vaitiare to continue to find joy and prepare for baptism that would be so so appreciated!



I just love all of our friends and members so much here and I'm so grateful for them! If I'm gonna put anything in this short email, I want it to be gratitude for those around me. Gratitude and charity are the cures to selfishness -- I invite you all to say a prayer of gratitude tonight for the people in your lives! 



Sorry again this was short hahah, I hope you all have a great week! I luv yall <3

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 ...
