Week 61 - How Big is God?

BAPTEME!!!

You heard it here first folks ... the twins got  baptized!
Elder Larsen, Leia, Angele and me

Saturday Leia and Angele got baptized and on Sunday they were confirmed. I am SO happy for them! They are power! They have such strong testimonies and I know that they will do such great things in the church!

We went to the American store on Tahiti last week and bought fruity pebbles, Squirt, Pop Tarts and Pringles! It was a great day! Also, last P Day we had s'mores on Ritz crackers. I really like the salty and sweet mixture!
 YUM!
Making S'mores

We had breakfast with the twins one morning and literally ate cake, and drank Coke and hot chocolate! Yes, I felt sick after! But we took some great photos! LOL
Me, Elder Larsen and the twins

A Papi in our area made me a Ukulele ... HAND MADE!! It is the coolest thing ever! He is so nice! But now I need to learn how to play it!

I have a story to tell you today ... 
Once upon a time, there was a dad and his son. The son asked his dad, "How big is God?" The dad sat and thought for a second. He looked up in the sky and saw a plane and asked his son, "Well how big is that plane?" and the son replied, "It is small." The next day the dad took his son to the airport and asked the same question, "Well how big is that plane?", and this time the young boy replied, "It is huge!" The lesson we can learn from this story is the closer we are to God the bigger He is in our lives! If we continue to grow our faith each day, God will be "Huge" in our lives! I encourage you all this week to do the things that will help you be closer to God so that he has a bigger impact in your lives!

Je vous aime enormement!

Week 82 - Life in the Big City!

Bonjour tout le monde! I hope that you all had a great week and started off the New Year well! I am in my new area and I love it! It is a lot different then my last but I love my new companion! He is from France and we are literally the same person! It makes such a difference in the missionary work when you get along with your companion! The work goes so much smoother and it is a lot more fun! I love it! Like I said last week, I am in the city part of Tahiti, it is different, and there are a ton of people, but I like it! I will admit it is not the best being back on the bike again. I guess the workout is good! Elder Banthoud and I got some champagne this week for the New Year! Bien sur without alcohol! LOL Elder Banthoud and me This week we gave 13 blessings. It is crazy how often we go to the hospital to give blessings! During the week we went and blessed one of our investigators. He was having a lot of pain in his shoulder and lost feeling in his arm and couldn't really

Week 23, 24, 25, 26 - I AM STILL ALIVE!!

Image
I AM STILL ALIVE!! I apologize for no updates this past month! The internet on this little tiny island that I am on wasn't working, so I haven't been able to talk to ANYONE! But I am alive and well!! So much has happened this last month. One of our recent converts here just got married a few weeks ago and we were able to go the wedding! It was so much fun and we were able to eat a ton of weird foods. So, we were about to start eating and this person brings out this huge plate that is covered up and sets it right in the middle of the table. Then they proceeded to uncover this plate and BAM it is a cow head!! They just cooked a cow head for the center piece! And we literally just grabbed meat off the skull of this cow head with our hands and ate it! The craziest part is, it wasn't even that bad! Also, here on this tiny little island there are a TON of wild dogs, and they don't like the missionaries! So for our protection we decided it would be best to buy machetes! No

Week 28 & 29 - Miracles Really Do Happen!!

Image
This week was a week full of miracles! I don't even know which miracle to start with. So we have this investigator named William. He took the missionary lessons about 2 years ago but then he stopped. Then 3 weeks ago he showed up at church with his family, so of course we went over and talked to him and introduced ourselves. One thing leads to another and we are talking about his experience with the missionaries and wondering why he didn't get baptized. My companion, Elder Harrison, asked him why he hasn't been baptized yet and he answered and said it is because him and his wife are not yet married. So then I asked why they weren't married. He replies and says that his wife doesn't want to get married yet, then in the background she comes up and says no they aren't married because he doesn't want to get married. So it was a total misunderstanding between the two of them! So then I was like, ok well why don't you get married? And then Elder Harrison says,
