Laughs, Rain, and Bikes - February 3, 2014

This week has been a lot of fun. I love living with the other three elders in our house. There is Elder Lee Chip Sao from Tahiti, who is Phillipino, but was born in Hawaii. Elder Bagley from Arizona, and Elder Poheroa from Tahiti (my companion). Every night we have a lot of fun together. I will send a few pictures of our adventures.

My companion...no words.





Elder Lee Chip Sao preaching in his soap box. Oh, and I got my package from Dad! Thanks a lot Dad!





It has rained quite a bit as well this week. Every night it rains. During the day it doesn';t rain so much, except for today, today is has been raining off and on since last night.

Tuesday of this week we did two lessons and after we came home and took a nap because I was really tired. Then we did two more lessons, one of which was on the other side of the island. That lesson was with Myrta who wanted to be baptized this week. We went over the interview questions and had a good lesson on the beach! It is so cool to do lessons on the beach. The water is coming in, the sky is blue and clear, it's in the shade, and we are sharing the gospel.





Wednesday my companion got sick so we came home early. We think it was caused by the not so well cooked steak that we ate the day before. It was unfortunate to cancel our lessons but I was happy to be able to take some time to write in my journal.

Thursday I went to the other side of the island with Elder Lee Chip Sao. He doesn't like riding quickly and so I would speed up and almost leave him and he would threaten to call president, ha. We had a good time. He did the interview for Myrta, and.....she passed!!

Friday was fun, we ate with our ward mission leader and took some pictures with his gun. That is the first gun I have seen since I arrived here in Tahiti, except for the police.





Saturday I was with Elder Bagley and he didn't let me race this time. We had a couple of lessons cancelled but we had our baptism. Myrta was so happy that she started crying during her testimony. I love knowing that God really wants us to be happy, and that is a good example.

And Sunday we fixed the baptism for Victor. He has been following the lessons for a very long time. I really hope he gets baptized this time.

I see the doctor this week and I will let you know what happens next week, normally. I love you all!

Elder Squires
