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 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 11 - Sashimi (a.k.a. Raw Fish)

Image
THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!! So this week was super awesome! Let's just start with I FINALLY got a bed!! I am no longer sleeping on the tile floor! And I got a closet so I am no longer living out of my suitcase. I feel like I am starting to settle in. I am even getting use to this French keyboard that I am typing on. The French itself is getting better and better every day. It is still hard but I feel myself improving. My companions say that I speak French a lot better than they did at 2 weeks in the field. The food is still crazy and the majority of the time I have no idea what I am eating! But it is getting better and my stomach is getting use to it. This week we had a lot of fish! RAW FISH! If you know me well, you know that I do not like fish, especially raw fish! We had this fish called Sashimi, and it was actually pretty good! It is cut super thin and then they put it over white rice with some sauce on it. I ate 2 whole plates of it! The bread here is so good! I eat a lot of ...
