Aloha kakou!!!


Pretty solid week with some few key events!


Highlights:

- Started off the week by going on a pretty sick nature walk with the district. Wouldn't say it was too much of a hike because the thing was pretty fast just 30ish mins there and another 30 mins back. None the less it was pretty sick and it got everyone together to do something.




- It has been crazy hot lately and we've been biking all over our sector lately. We've been chugging water like crazy and always end up showing up to lessons looking like a wet dog with a face of a tomato


- We went to see one of our friends but he wasn't home then this other guy right next door invited us to come talk with his brother and their friend. The brother and friend were drinking and smoking while the other guy was just vibing and thinking about life. We talked about life. We ended up connecting the Bob Marley and UB40 music they were playing to a message about the gospel. It was also pretty nice hearing Kingston Town as well as some Ziggy Marley and Gregory Isaac's








- Went on a split with Elder Tidball and we were able to have some solid lessons and a great time contacting trying to find new people


Lowlights:

- We had a few of our lessons cancel on us this past week because it has been a week long vacation for the kids here


- We left our house and biked 40 minutes to one of the last areas in our sector got there at 8:30am and the person we went to see was still knocked out and had no desire to get up. It was a little sad just because we knew we had another 40 minute bike ride ahead of us to get back to our house and then right after we had our district council with the other missionaries




- We had a pretty good split up the last 20 minutes when we got a call from our companions saying, "Something happened and we'd like to say we're sorry.... But we're still alive." We heard that and we thought they were just joking around about something but it turned out Elder Tingey had ran over Elder Murray's foot. Luckily nothing was broken by some miracle, the doctor just gave him some medicine and called it good






Spiritual Thought:

Mark 4:39 "And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm."


"Vents favorables et mer suivants"

"Mata'i haumaru e moana mania"

"Fair winds and following seas"


Vamos, Envoyons!!!

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. ...
