Iaorana Tatou!!!
So this email might be a little
short because we don't have a lot of time to email today, but know that I
love you all even if it's short and a little lame. ;) This p-day we
walked around a gigantic park in Papeete and Souer Bready got really
sunburned, but we got some pretty wonderful pictures so it was worth it.
No regrets. Unless she gets skin cancer. Then all the regret.

In other news... L_ AND T_ AGREED TO GET MARRIED THE 12 OF MAY!!!
(Fireworks and probably the national anthem in the background) It was
so cool because we just brought a member with us and once she heard
about the problem she knew exactly what to say. She bore her testimony
about the day she was sealed and at the end just said "being sealed for
time and all eternity is the best gift you can give to your daughter for
her birthday, because after that NOTHING can take her away from you."
T_ totally started crying and the spirit was so powerful. I'm so
grateful that I am sealed with my family and that I can help others
become sealed with theirs!!! It is such a blessing in my life!
We
got invited this week to go to a birthday for a one year old from a
semi-member family so we thought "why not?" we figured it would be a good
opportunity to bond with the investigators of the family and thought it
would be a pretty low key party. It was not. I repeat: nothing about
this party was low key. We showed up an there were decorations
everywhere, insane amounts of food, and over 40 adults and
300000000000000000000000 children running around everywhere. It was a
good time and we got to talk to a lot of people not of our faith. And
the food was really good.

So in case none of
you were aware this week was GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! Can we just talk
about the solemn assembly real fast? That's the first time I
participated in sustaining a new Prophet (I can't remember when
President Monson was called) and while standing up and sustaining him I
felt so strongly that he is the Prophet for the church at this time.
I've never gotten so emotional doing that before. Also: we got to watch
conference in English this time! I am so glad! We watched with a member
for the first session and at our mission presidents house for the second
session. We're so spoiled because we live in the zone where they live
we get to hang out with our mission mom and dad sometimes. So blessed.
On
the down side my mission president has now seen me cry. But afterward we
made and ate pancakes with Soeur Fox, so I'm not too torn up about it.
Also, all the new changes have me so excited!!! We really are coming
closer and closer to the coming of the Savior and we're so incredibly
blessed to be here at this time!!!
HAPPY
EASTER EVERYONE!!! We have literally over 70 chocolate eggs at home in
the freezer from kind members, and I have no idea when we'll eat them
all. If anyone wants to come get some we won't mind at all. ;) It was
kinda funny because we were waiting for our Faatamaara'a to come drop
off some food because they couldn't have us come to their house and I
thought to myself, "Wouldn't it be so funny if they dropped off some food
they had just bought?" and lo and behold she came and dropped off some
nice and warm McDonald's for our Easter Sunday meal. Classy and way to keep the Sabbath Day Holy, Tahiti. ;)
