Iorana tatou! "My Living Room Wall that I Love" - Lindsay Raking Mangos and Climbing Trees Apparently I've been spelling that wrong this whole time. I feel like my whole life is a lie. So this week was kind of uneventful... JK, there's no such thing as uneventful in Huahine! So something that I'm coming to realize is when Soeur Wissocq wants something, she does everything in her power to get it. It's served her well in her life, straight A's, very popular, ect. It has a downside though, and I will demonstrate this in a story that definitely happened this week. It was a  Tuesday  night like any other. We were coming to the close of our English class when all of the sudden a tree full of unripe mangos caught Soeur Wissocq's eye. Ok, long story short after English class we were throwing rakes into this tree to get mangos down while members tried to climb it. It's moments like this where I wish my mission life was a TV show because ...

Iorana Tatou! (For those of you who are unaware, Tatou means everyone) Coconut Bread So this week flew by! That's what happens when you're busy! I learned how to make that wonderful coconut bread I love more than life, and unfortunately I cannot make it in the U.S. I'm pretty much heartbroken, but time heals all wounds... or so they say. Teaching with President and Sister Fox and Bug Bites Sister Wissocq's - When You Want to Study Outside But Happen to Be Allergic To Bug Bites Our mission president came this week! Since he's new he was meeting all the missionaries and touring all the islands so we got to be his chauffeurs for the day! It was really fun because Sister Fox is about where I'm at with French and President Fox was a little rusty, so we all got French lessons from Soeur Wissocq. We got to teach a couple lessons with him and his wife and that was super cool! Sam was like a little boy on Christmas when he found out he got to meet ...

These Pictures came from the New Mision President's Facebook Page . These are the pictures they took of Lindsay and her companion when visiting Huahine for the first time. The Fox's First Views of Huahine Huahine District with President Fox A Picture with Sister Fox Bug Bites?

Iorana Tatou! The Art of Flower Crowns So this week was another super awesome week so prepare yourself. It started out fabulous on P-day because we had the opportunity to learn how to make those awesome flower crowns! It's actually really easy and I think you could do it with any kind of flower. Souer Wissocq loves them and has made a couple since then to wear around and feel like an island princess. ;) Sister Wissocq's Birthday It was her birthday this week!!! I am so glad it's over because she was so worried people would forget so she reminded people constantly. ;) It was so awesome because some members bought her a cake (how sweet is that???) and we had pizza so it was a huge party. It was kinda funny actually because it was just us two in the house with a huge pizza and a gigantic cake. We broke out the bingo and listened to some intense Mormon Tabernacle Choir, so I think it was a birthday she won't soon forget. ;) Misfortune, Wild Dogs, ...

Iorana!!!  Breakfast at the House Picture with Papi Rodger Sister Wissocq and Food This week has been amazing, so buckle up! For starters Soeur Wissocq is a super good cook and I count my blessings everyday for that because I have no idea what to do with most of this foreign food. ;) T hey have AMAZING coconut bread here that I'm determined to learn how to make before I come home. It's to die for.   They call white people "Popa", only my companion has called me popa so far though. :) Soeur Wissocq is from Venezuela, but moved to France when she was 17 so she's fluent in French and Spanish.  I love having so much time to study in the mornings! This next week will not be like that at all. ;) My nose isn't stuffy anymore, but I have a cough still. :) Cow Horn Bestowal Another thing I'm really grateful for is how kind the people are here. Andre gave us some cow horns he had lying around because he knew that Soeur Wissocq loves cows....

Iorana! Winter In Fare on Huahine By Our House This week has been crazy awesome! It started out fairly rough because (surprise) I got sick again. It wasn't that bad, but it's already tough trying to speak French with a non-stuffy nose. ;)I t 's winter right now. I think I'm going to cry when summer comes in October/ November. We leave the windows open at night and have a ceiling fan so it's never too hot to sleep. I live in Fare , super close to the airport. We cover this island and have to cross a bridge to get to the elders' area. Sister Wissocq and I cover one ward. There are only two wards here, and the other ward meets where the elders are. Our church is  9:00 . Fast and testimony meeting is similar to ours in the States.   Polynesian Delicacies in Backyard Bananas So every week we have a district meeting with the Elders and switch who brings food every time. They brought in tupas (crabs) that they had caug...
