Things are going well. It's like trying to pronounce
the name of the stake I'm in. It's difficult at first but once you
figure out that people just saw fa-ah, it's much simpler. Missionary work
is simple. Be obediant, pray lots, laugh a lot more and bring people to
Christ.
This week was great.
On Monday we had a Tahitian lesson, it wouldn't be so bad if there weren't words that have several meaning and then you get slang on top of that and it's a little harder. But I have learned that no tree ever grew full height overnight. Same with Tahitian and same with myself. The lesson went really well. His name is Oscar he wants to get sealed in the temple! But his girlfriend (most couples aren't married in Tahiti) is slowing him down. We are going to give him a baptismal date today, I really hope he accepts and his wife softens her heart.
Tuesday we had a lesson with an inactive family and the Spirit was so strong.
Wednesday we taught an inactive who is living with his cousins and two of his cousins came in for the lesson. We gave them the Book of Mormon and challenged them to read it.
Thursday we had a lesson in the highest part of our sector. It takes a good 30 minutes on bike to go clear up there. But the view is amazing!
Friday we had a lot of things to do and it ended up being a great day.
Saturday was my birthday and for my birthday we had another lesson with the inactive and his cousins. One of them actually read! And Wilfred, the inactive, his aunt invited us over for a family night lesson with the whole family. I'm so excited. This work is incredible and I love it.
It rained the past few days. It only seems to rain when we are inside for which I am very grateful. I know this is a great work. It is hot down here but you're not alone when you start sweating. Almost all the world sweats around here. I love you all!
I know that Christ lives, this is His church. I know that God loves us! He wants us to be happy. Obedience is how He is able to bless us.
