Aloha Kakou,

Pretty quick email this week because we have a whole lot going on during this P-Day. We are currently trying to cook up 15 lbs of fries for a BBQ.


Highlights:

- Had another lesson with a family we found a week ago. They mentioned how they have seen a change in their son after he started going to church and taking lessons. The little boy is still very quiet but smiles all the time at church and is very intelligent.


- We had Stake Conférence this past weekend and were blessed to hear from some pretty amazing speakers who gave great talks.


- Found out transfer news and it turns out my companion will be leaving and I'll be staying. He's going to be headed off to the island of Huahine and I couldn't be more happier because he was dreaming of serving in that zone.


- Went to the market to pick up some new pants for Elder Spencer, slippers for Elder Brown and music stuff for Elder Neilson and took a quick stop to check out some pearls.


Lowlights:

- Invited one of our friends to be baptized and she said she needs to think about it more because she loves the church, Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ but has had bad experiences with religion in the past.




- Went around and said goodbye to a bunch of our friends this past week Sunday after stake conference. There was a whole lot of tears shed between Elder Neilson and our friends.


Spiritual Thought:

Joshua 1:9 "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."


The Lord is always there my friends faaitoito e haere imua. (Good luck and keep on pressing forward).

Ua Here au ia 'oe,

Elder Ellis

KFC in Tahiti?!?!

Yes, I am talking about good old Kentucky Fried Chicken. One of friends just got baptized and one of her sons flies for Air Tahiti Nui and brought back KFC because another Mami at the luncheon really loves KFC. We showed up and they started bringing out the food and I thought I was dreaming for a second. Like there's no way that's actually KFC, the best part was just seeing how excited the Mami was about it. Anyways that was a nice little highlight from the other day. Also just realized I didn't get a picture of it, sorry bout it, but was good. :) Highlights: - Elder Brown made me some special drink for my throat but he didn't have the actual ingredients to make it so he improvised and mixed Water, Hot sauce, Salt, and Honey. He heated that bad boy up and it started frothing and smelt like warm vinegar. It didn't taste the best but wasn't too bad. It also kinda looked like beer.  - We got Facebook back thanks to the amazing work of the Elders in The Office. - We...

Alohaaaaaa ko'u 'ohana, This past week was absolutely magical. First off, we just had general conference and they announced so many new temples. One of them is over on Raiatea and another one is going to be in Honolulu, Hawaii!!! Like what a great blessing that is for people all over the pacific and especially my beloved Polynesians that are scattered across the various islands in the sea.  Highlights: - Went on a split with Elder Christensen and it was pretty fire. We biked back from the port to our house and the poor guy was sweating so much. We had a pretty good time filled with lessons, contacting and following the spirit. The man even drank half a vaimato 5 gallon jug when we were together. Pretty impressive if you ask me. - Elder Tingey and I were so hyped after our split we decided to go contacting. We entered a neighborhood at around 10am and didn't leave till it was almost 6pm. We both thought it was only going to take 2 maybe three hours max but we were so wrong. ...
