..... and I love every second of it!!!
I am Elder Squires. I am a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ. I know this church is true. It is the only way to return to live with Heavenly Father. I'm grateful to be a member.
I am serving in the Tavararo ward in the Faaa stake. The only international airport in Tahiti is in my area. I love it here!
I have to back up to the flight here. Two weeks ago 15 teenagers left the MTC and headed for Tahiti. We had to leave two elders behind in SLC because the plane couldn't hold the weight (they caught a later flight to LAX). I think I'm not going to use periods, it's too much effort on these French keyboards, The flight to Tahiti was long but it was good. We arrived and the first thing I smelled was hickory smoke, I think that's just how it smells around here.
My companion is Elder Tau, he has a strong desire to serve the Lord and to do his best. We bike 6ish kilometers everyday, we had a baptism my first Saturday here. The people here are incredible. Everyone is so nice and loving. Our investigators are incredible. The view of Moorea is stunning. The langauges are coming.
Quick story: we were in a Tahitian lesson and I prayed to understand what was being said. All of a sudden the investigator started speaking French! No one knew he could speak French!!!!!
I love this gospel. I love the Lord. I know He leads this church. I again don't have a ton of time but I love you all!
And yes, the food is incredible.
