Iaorana Tatou!!! Mommy daughter selfie So this week was kinda slow because poor Soeur Fowers got pretty sick (I'm blaming it on the hike) and we took it kinda slow. Some funny things did happen this week though! Mostly just yesterday. So yesterday for our Faatamaaraa we ate with a cute family who had a super cute puppy from the underworld. He kept playing with our feet under the table (so like little puppy bites), and then he left. We continued eating and out of nowhere the puppy bites my foot and I was so surprised my knees hit the table with a solid thud. I'm so grateful that everyone thought it was funny because EVERYONE stopped and stared at me for a good couple seconds. My feet are weak and not chew toys. We just had a pause in our emailing because Soeur Fowers noticed someone stealing the elders mangos who live right next to where we email. We went out and yelled at them and they did nothing and then a mamie came out and yelled at them in tahiti...

Iaorana Tatou!!! This week was honestly one of the best weeks of my mission! We have been working so hard this transfer and the Lord is seeing fit to bless us! First of all we found 4 new amis who are so amazing! The first two are a young couple who are living together who randomly came to church a couple weeks ago even though they aren't members. They're so freaking cute and we started teaching them this week, and later she called us and asked us to come and teach her father the Plan of Salvation because she liked it so much! The other two are references from some less active members who are starting to come back to church. Honestly he has been so prepared by God to change his life around like his older brother (the member who gave us the reference) and we can't wait to start teaching him and his son! We dropped by to see if we could start teaching them and he literally had a cake made for us and they treated us like queens. They're so cute!!! Anoth...

Iaorana Tatou! So I totally wrote out a nice and long, glorious email with stories and everything, and then it all got deleted and now I hate everything. I'm so mad. Pas grave, it just wasn't meant to be!  So this week was really weird. We never had just a normal day. In summary: Soeur Fowers ran away from all the dogs, and I ran away from all the drunk people. I ate fish eyes for the first time, and it's just as disgusting as it looks. You don't want to know what this is... Soeur Fowers has a hidden talent of being able to play anything on a child's music recorder flute thing that she found randomly in the house. Soeur Fowers' Wonderful Hammock A member assumed that R__ was getting baptized soon because we've had a lot of lessons with him and literally said to his face, "Oh, you've have 5 lessons so far? So you'll be baptized soon, right?" Don't ask me how we got out of that one because to this day I s...
