Week 101 - Serving Others is FUN!


HELLO Everyone!!!
I hope you all had a great week this last week! This was a fun week for Elder Harris and I! We had another baptism this last weekend. Her name is Maire. She is super awesome and the Lord totally prepared her to receive us. She was so accepting and progressed so easily! It was so good to see her get baptized.

Elder Harris, Maire and me
On Saturday morning our district decided to do a car wash! Is was SO much fun! We all had a great time! I love being able to have fun, but at the same time serve others. 
 Serving others is fun to do!

Yesterday we had the opportunity to have a conference where we watched a live broadcast of President Nelson in New Zealand. He was speaking to all the missionaries in the South Pacific! It was super great! He was with Elder Gong as well. It was interesting because the Prophet talked a lot about repentance and then the House of Jacob. He talked about the 12 Tribes of Israel as well! I thought it was interesting because out of all things he chose to speak on that. It is so awesome how we have found all 12 Tribes in the world today! It is such great evidence that His work is progressing!
Such a great conference!

I hope you all have a great week!

I love you all!

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!!

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,
