6/11/18 Pirae 2 Week 19 - V_ is Baptized, Cockroach, Chick, Child, Singing to Drunk Teens

Iaorana tatou! Sorry there was no email last week, but somehow my email account got disactivated? If I haven't been responding it's because I'm currently emailing from Soeur Fowers email. Hopefully they get my email situation figured out soon because it stinks having no news whatsoever. Anyway, these past couple weeks have been amazing! I don't have a lot of time today, but here's a petit summary: We rescued a baby chicken, found a lot of new amis, V__ GOT BAPTIZED, a child peed on Soeur Fowers backpack, I killed a cockroach without crying, I watched a 5 year old child pick up a cockroach after stomping on it with her bare feet, I ate at least my weight in cake, and Soeur Fowers and I sang a hymn really loud in an attempt to wake up some hungover teenage boys who we were supposed to teach. Oh the joys of serving a mission. Anyway, I'm still loving being here!!! I love you all and have an awesome week!!! Sorry no pictures or anything, I kno...

5/28/18 Pirae 2 Week 18 - Great Week, Machete Surprise

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...

5/21/18 Pirae 2 Week 17 - Computer Trouble, Fish Eyes, Upcoming Baptisms

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...

5/7/18 Pirae 2 Week 15 - Great Things & One Crazy Rooster

Iaorana Tatou!!! So much has happened this week and to be honest I forgot about 95% of it. Desolé. In summary: we fixed the baptism of V_, a family we've been teaching for a while ALL came to church for the first time, T_ is officially not interested but L_ still wants the lessons, we saw a crazy chicken (more on that later), we went to V_'s house and looked at pictures of Jerusalem TWICE and she agreed to talk with Soeur Ma (her missionaries), and we found out an amie we had been teaching for a long time is actually a member. 😩 In other words this week was actually great. V_ is the daughter of less active parents who are starting to come back to church and she's so excited to get baptized! She's nine and didn't really grow up with the gospel so it's been so fun to see her learn and grow!!!  Totally Adorable V_ Ok, honestly everything was so awesome this week, but the real highlight of this week came from a really stressed out rooster...
