Iaorana Tatou!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I had an awesome Christmas so I hope you all did too!!! Let me start with yesterday... Christmas Eve! Christmas presents some members gave us! What cuties! Christmas Eve Dinner So Mamie made us so much food! All of the missionaries here on Raiatea came last night and we ate turkey, poisson cru, mussles, and tons of other goodies. It was a party. Anyway, this morning we opened presents at our house and then headed out to skype our parents. Unfortunately we had some technical difficulties and I was unable to be seen by my family, but I could see them. We were able to talk, so that's all that matters. After we Skyped we headed to the Hospital and sang for a bunch of the patients there. All in all it was an amazing Christmas and I was very lucky to spend it with the people I did.  Sorry I can't write more, I don't have very much time... Anyway, I love you all!!! Merry Christmas!!! Christmas Program Crazy...

IAORANA TATOU!  Sorry that the email came a little late this week, we had a conference  on Monday  so our P-day got moved.  Recreating snapchat filters with our gigantic flower crowns Our Super Cute District Miracles Finding People & Driving is Better How y'all doing? Everything is going fantabulous here in Raiatea! We actually have seen a lot of miracles this week! Like we've tried to go contacting a couple different times and each time we find less-active members who need a little reminder of what the spirit feels like. Two of them even came to church last week! Another big miracle is that I can kind of drive stick now. I am for sure feeling all those prayers on my behalf. ;) Shoutout to my siblings who now start their prayers "Please help Lindsay learn how to drive stick." Also huge shoutout to Ben who sent me stickers in the MTC. Turns out kids here will love you forever if you give them stickers. Who knew?  Stake Women's Activity...

Iaorana Tatou!  So this week was super exciting and interesting. Soeur Nicholls was sick so we stayed at home a lot when we didn't have lessons, so I ended up studying a lot of Tahitian. I feel like I don't remember any of it, though. Help.  Taaha Island From Our Hike Neighboring Islands P-day was super awesome! We ended up doing a pretty easy hike that had an amazing view! It's so cool being able to see Bora and Tahaa just next door! Pretty soon we'll have the Hawaiki Nui which is the biggest Va'a race ever. They go from Huahine to Raiatea and then to Bora or something like that which is super crazy long. Anyway, people get super pumped about it so I can't wait to see it!  Us at our finest... (aka when half of my face is gone) Car Troubles Continue STORYTIME!!! Once upon a time there was a sister from America and because she was from America she didn't have to drive manual and her life was perfect up until the day she suddenly ha...

Bonjour tout le monde!!! The stones are like a sacred place here. Their ancestors placed them here in that way and now people get married and stuff there. Pretty cool stuff. Packages from America So this week was awesome! For starters both Soeur Miller and I got packages from our families! So blessed! And I got something in said package that will allow me to upload pictures, so life is good again!!! Be prepared for tons of pictures!!!  Bicycles Bad!! So you know how I was so excited we weren't going to be on bikes? I spoke too soon. Our new elder has knee problems and can't bike everyday so we're sharing with the elders now. They have it every  Friday -M onday  and we have it the rest of the week. And surprise surprise: Riding a bike in a skirt is not easy. I am really impressed with all of those sister missionaries who have come before us because it is actually the worst. I think I've managed to flash everyone on this island.    oh well, what ...
