Episode 69: Last Sprint

aloha kakou, pehea oe? no more 3-4 week emails. I'm a changed person now. so here's some weekly highlights! Monday was pretty cool, it was pday and we all got to come together as a zone for a little bit. that night we also went to a family home evening for the Tahito family, which was super fun. we played some games with them and had a really good meal at the end. we also got transfer news that my comp is going to Makemo, a tiny island way off of Tahiti! tuesday was pretty crazy since my comp now had like 24 hours to say goodbye to everyone haha. so we were basically just bouncing around the sector all day, except to go to the doctor, which was less bouncing and more waiting for 2.5 hours. I was there to ask about some back pain, and she told me to go swimming. it was kinda awkward and funny explaining that missionnaires aren't allowed to swim -- she looked really confused lol. we also had a huge miracle on Tuesday: we finally set a baptismal date for herehia !! sooo excite...

long time no see, my bad ! anyways, here's some glimpses of the last 4 weeks. WEEK 65, 66, 67 I'm only gonna put the best of the best in here for these past 3 weeks. you'll have to consult my mission journal for the rest. so, here's some highlights from these weeks: - we had a blitz in our area! that's basically when all the missionaries in our district go into one area to go contacting. we sent everyone to their own little spots and let them loose.  - we did some cooking with one of our members! I would say I learned how to make chow mein but I definitely dont remember how it was done - we filmer Facebook videos with the Facebook elders ! so just saying, keep an eye out for some fire videos on our mission's page - found some awesome new friends!  - new years was fun. well, we didn't really do anything except for wake up at midnight to celebrate for like 5 minutes and then go back to bed. but good luck on sleeping because literally everyone was blaring their...

WEEK 63 joyeux noël tout le monde ! I hope you guys had a wonderful christmas! kinda fun that it falls on pday/monday this year hahah.  this week we had our mission xmas conference -- it was super fun to see everyone! we had some talks given, some trainings, etc, then we ate and played some minute-to-win-it games. no mean to brag but I was the captain of my team so I'm basically super cool. I also did MyPlan this week, which is basically a course for planning your life after the mission. it was kinda crazy that we were already doing it, cause that means we're old missionaries, but again it was super fun to see all my MTC friends ! Christmas eve was super fun -- we started out with church, and church itself was pretty interesting. they had like a Christmas music program going on and they started sacrament meeting by singing "walking in a winter wonderland", which I'm pretty sure isn't very allowed lol. after that they sang a few more songs that weren't hymn...
