4/9/18 Papeete Week 11 - New investigator, Easter Concert, Names
Iaorana tatou!!!
So
this week we found a new amie! Her name is V_ and she's awesome.
Both her parents are inactive members, and she's nine years old, so
we're trying to teach her and reactivate the parents. She's hilarious
and no matter what she's doing she drops everything to come and hug us.
So freaking cute. L_ and T_ are still really progressing. We
just need to help them come to church more. They used to come a lot and
I'm not sure what changed.
I hope you all had a fabulous week
because I sure did! For starters, last p-day we did the tour de l'ile! In
other words we drove around the entire island of Tahiti doing touristy
stuff. It was so cool! We got to go with members and since they know
everything we were able to get some of the stories behind some stuff.

We had mini
transfers this week and our dear Soeur Robinson who lives with us was
transferred to Raiatea!!! I'm so excited for her! But you know what that
means??? I had to drive to the airport again. Actually it was so much
better than last time, but we were driving all day since we're the
missionaries of Papeete taxi. ;)
So last night
our stake put together an Easter concert. It was so awesome!!! Our DMP
(ward mission leader) sang in a quartet and he rocked it. It was
honestly my favorite musical number of the night. Also: I found out what
my last name it Tahitian is!!! It's Selelerese. But you pronounce the "s"
like "t" and the "l" like an "r". So it's like "terererete". I like the name
DMP gave me better. Houhou (pronounced like Santa's ho ho ho merry
Christmas) because in Tahitian it means "to sell". He also gave Soeur
Bready the name "Frauti" because it's the word for "bread" with a "y" on the
end. Clever man.
With the concert last night
and everything I thought a lot about our Savior and everything he did
for us. He made it possible for us to live again with our Heavenly
Father!!! With that knowledge goes any fear we could have about the
future. No matter what happens God is in charge and if we trust in him
we will have our happy ending without any pain or sadness, just endless
joy. That's what we celebrate each Easter! I am incredibly grateful for
His gift of life.
Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week!!! I love you all so much!!!
