Iaorana Tatou!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I had an awesome Christmas so I hope you all did too!!! Let me start with yesterday... Christmas Eve! Christmas presents some members gave us! What cuties! Christmas Eve Dinner So Mamie made us so much food! All of the missionaries here on Raiatea came last night and we ate turkey, poisson cru, mussles, and tons of other goodies. It was a party. Anyway, this morning we opened presents at our house and then headed out to skype our parents. Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties and I was unable to be seen by my family, but I could see them. We were able to talk, so that's all that matters. After we Skyped we headed to the Hospital and sang for a bunch of the patients there. All in all it was an amazing Christmas and I was very lucky to spend it with the people I did.  Sorry I can't write more, I don't have very much time... Anyway, I love you all!!! Merry Christmas!!! Christmas Program Crazy...

Iaorana Tatou!!!  The Ride Over Staying Together So this week was a little rough... but a lot of awesome things happened!!! For starters we had transfers and BOTH SOEUR NICHOLLS AND I ARE STAYING!!! It was like a rule when President Bize was here that sisters didn't stay together longer than 2 transfers, but President Fox is turning things upside down! We're so excited to stay together because we get to be together for both of our birthday's, Christmas, New Years, both of our halfway marks (January 12), and who could forget Martin Luther King Day? It will be a non-stop party. Also, Merry Christmas everyone!!! I hope it's magical! C hristmas is actually pretty big here! Mamie is even going to buy a turkey and everything. Super stoked. I can't wait to be able to Skype my family!  Tahitian Oven. It's like a super huge dutch oven in the ground.  Heat Exhaustion So something crazy that happened this week was that I almost DIED. So r...

Iaorana Tatou!!! So this week has actually been bonkers. For starters the car is at Tahiti for repairs so now we're in our giant sector on bikes... I probably will come home looking like one of those Olympic gymnasts or Arnold Schwarzenegger. Be prepared. Good thing we have Mamie who has a cute little popa'a  (European) car.  So we had our Coin Feu (fireside) yesterday and the speakers and everything were good... But we had so many technological problems we started half an hour late. :') After that things went swimmingly... until our musical number. We have two tone deaf elders in our zone and it sounded really interesting. Anyway, right at the end a baby started crying (I wonder why?) and I just lost it. I started laughing so hard at how bad we were which was unfortunate because I was the only sister on melody that you could hear. Fail.  The talks were good though, and I hope our members who came were able to feel the Spirit and feel inspired ...

IAORANA TATOU!!! We made Book of Mormon Risk because we were really sick last week and had to stay home... It actually works super well! Dice here are like $5 each though, but I'd say it's a good investment. Singing Fireside So this week was actually the craziest! Well, I guess not this week but like the past couple days. Anyway, to start we had an awesome Coin Feu (fireside) with the theme "Light the World" in one of the Elders' wards. We all came and sang a musical number which sounded pretty good considering not very many of us can sing. ;) But it was so good, all of the 5 investigators there agreed to take the missionary lessons! I'd say that's a little miracle! We'll do one in our sector this Sunday.  Tracting! (There are some houses down there we can't get to by car) Meeting New Old Investigators The Crazy Amount of Eggs We Have in Our Fridge Our P-day was moved to Wednesday this week because we had a confe...
