laroana Tatou! J'espere que vous allez bien et que vous avez passe une bonne semaine! Ca y ete mon semaine. Il y a pas beaucoup de nouvelle ici a Tahiti. C'est juste au'il faisais beaucoup chaud! Mais nous avons eu une bapteme samedi denier! C'etait magnifique! OK maintenait je vais vous parker en anglais! I hope you all had a great week! This week was pretty good! First things first, we ate at one of my favorite members house this week. A few weeks ago we stopped by their house and he was drinking a Mountain Dew. And just so y'all know that is my FAVORITE drink and it is SO difficult to find here on Tahiti! So, we show up to our dinner appointment and he pulls out 10 Mountain Dews from the fridge! I don't know how he found them but he did! Then he puts 4 of them in front of my plate of food. Yes you best believe I drank all 4 of them at dinner! LOL Si non, we also had a baptism that past weekend! His name is Mike and he is a young man. He is 19 yearl

Bonjour tout le monde! I hope you all had a great week! This week was a pretty crazy week for me. There was so much stuff going on and change! Elder Peck got transfered this week and I got my new companion today. His name is Elder Brown and he is from Utah! He seems like a great guy and I am excited to serve with him. I will send pictures of us next week! We also had a journee de nettoyage! AKA, a day of cleaning! DEEP cleaning! Our mission president told us to deep clean our house on Wednesday of last week. So that is what we did all day long. We scrubbed the walls and ceilings and anything you can think of! So now our house is CLEAN! On Saturday, we had our soiree zonia! AKA, a little family home evening with our zone. It was just to end our transfer together on a good note. Elder Danielson and I were on the grill! It was a great time!  Grilling it up! The Zone And then this morning I have done nothing but driving to go and get and drop off missionaries! Life is g

laorana!! I hope you have all had a great week! I heard about the fires going on in California! I hope that you are all safe and doing well! It is actually cool because all the members here know I am from California, so as soon as they saw on the news about the fires in California they told me! Gotta love the members here in Tahiti! This last week was a good one. We had a multi zone Conference. It is always such a great time. Elder Peck and I had to do a little formation on the importance of inviting people to be baptized and how to be bold. It was fun and I hope that it helped the other missionaries. One of the Elders in our house got REALLY sick this week, so I played mom and stayed at home with him while my companion and his companion went out and worked the 2 areas. I learned how to play chess and got pretty good at it this week! I can't tell you how many games we played! But all is well, I was a good mom and the Elder is up and working again. On Saturday we did a b

Happy Halloween to you all! I hope you all had a great week full of Joy! And I hope you all got a lot of candy from Halloween. It is really unfortunate that they don't celebrate that holiday here! But we went and bought some candy anyways! So I have a scary story for you all, since it was Halloween and all! So the other morning I was taking a shower and all was well. We finally had hot water since it was sunny! LOL Anyways, life was great! So I get out of the shower and grab my towel and as I am drying off my face I see a centipede crawling on my towel centimeters away from my face!! Let me tell you ... these aren't your average old centipedes. They are HUGE, SCARY and they BITE! Luckily I was quick enough and it didn't bite me. It fell on the ground and I quickly dried off and broomed it out of the house and killed it! But I did have my life flash before my eyes for a quick second! LOL Si non, this week was great! On Thursday morning we went to the Temple with one o
