Iaorana Tatou! First of all let me apologize for last weeks email... Emailing here is always a little crazy because we are in a room full of other missionaries and I end up talking the whole time. I am my mother's daughter!  For the past couple days this monster has been waking me up early by meowing right outside our second story bedroom window. Punk. Working in a Different Area for a Day Ok, so this week was actually really awesome! For starters I went on a split with Soeur Gandon who is from France so I spoke only French for 24 hours. I feel so accomplished. They are in a walking sector and it was like a whole new world for me! They knew like everyone who passed by name and their whole life story... Super weird. Anyway, it was super awesome! We taught a woman who was afraid to pray because every time she closed her eyes to pray she felt like Satan was coming to attack her. That was fun. People are incredibly receptive to the spirit here, both good and bad ...

Ioarana Tatou!! So this week was incredible! We had a baptism Saturday and it was so awesome! She's the one in the pink dress in the front. The rest of the family was baptized in November!  For P-day we just played games with Soeur ma and made cookies! It was super awesome!  Our Cookies Our P-day Game - Drawing Hidden Bodies Story time! Once upon a time two sister missionaries went to a meeting with the stake with high hopes. It was with all the missionaries in the zone of Papeete and all the stake and ward representatives. As soon as it commenced they knew it would be a memorable experience. Two brethren got into a 10-mintute argument and everything was chaos. If anything my mission has reinforced in me a desire to be a good member after my mission to help missionaries out. Good skill to have.   So we ate the most wonderful food this week. I can't express my love for it enough. We ate with this cute family and we had good fo...

Iaorana Tatou!!! A Baptism To Come This week was pretty intense so buckle up! First of all we're planning a baptism for a little girl in our ward and she's adorable! You will all be seeing pictures soon of her cute little face! The baptism is next Saturday and Soeur Bready will be giving her first talk in French!!! I'm so excited for her! My New Companion So I realize that I haven't really told you all about Soeur Bready yet so allow me to do so real quick. She is the most adorable human ever. She's from Utah, has an identical twin, annd plays the flute. This is her first transfer out of training and she's killing it! Her French is so much better than mine was out of training. I love her so much!!! Contacting is a Blast Something that was super fun this week was we did a lot of contacting. I thought it wouldn't be very effective, but we found so many people who had already talked with the missionaries before or have family ...

Iaorana tatou! A Strange Fruit at Dinner, Almost Like Grapes (We found these at Sprouts in Denver; can't remember the name) Last Monday I got shipped from the islands to a slightly bigger island (Tahiti) and it is like night and day here. First of all no one spoke in tahitian during testimony meeting. I bore my testimony and said "Iaorana Tatou" like the true Tahitian I am and I kid you not people came up to me and were so proud of the two tahitian words I pronounced correctly. It was actually kinda funny. Something else that's also really different is driving. All I need to say is that there are way too many roundabouts and random speed bumps. And I almost hit a pedestrian, but there were no casualties this week.  American Food to the Rescue Soeur Sellers mentioned McDonald's in the last post. Here is her picture of a "mobile" McNugget! Truly thought-provoking! Inside McDonald's - Bonding with Your Food  Guess who got...
