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.  Before We Got Sunburned 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 ...

2/5/18 Papeete Week 2 - Chickens at McDonald's, The Gospel Changes Lives

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...

9/25/17 Huahine Week 15 (Week 24 To Date) - Being Transferred to Neighboring Island Raiatea

Iaorana Tatou!!! BREAKING NEWS: I am leaving the beautiful island of Huahine and my wonderful companion Soeur Miller to go next door to Raiatea. It’s kind of funny because that’s exactly what Soeur Wissocq (my trainer) did, and it’s normal for sisters to serve in the islands only once. I guess it runs in the family! ;) Also, I’m going to the area Soeur Kendall (my MTC comp) was just in! Talk about a small world! We’re also doing a whitewash which means that both me and my companion will both be new to the sector. Pray for us, she’s only been in French Polynesia for 3 weeks longer than me. Maybe a special fast is in order… Just kidding, it’ll be great! Also we’ll be in a car and  neither of us know how to drive manual , so you might hear more driving adventures. Normally I would fly today, but I fly out  on Wednesday  morning because SOEUR MILLER IS GOING TO BE A MOM! She’s training someone new when I leave! I’m so excited for her, and I know she’s going to be awe...
