Another week on Tubuai has passed. This one was a good one. We had five lessons in the week. One almost every day. That was really nice. We had good weather, except for Wednesday night when a lot of rain came down.
On Monday night we had a family night with the district president. We shared a Mormon Message about choosing what is right and then we talked about it. It ended up being a good night.
Tuesday we went with our branch (it's not a ward out here) mission leader. We taught a lesson with the elderly Tahitian woman. We talked to her about the apostasy and the restoration.
Wednesday we taught our shy investigator. We tried doing a shorter lesson to help him better understand. We invited them to come to church. They said that they will come fast Sunday. However this week their baby come to church! That's one out of three. We also had our English class. We had a good number of students and we talked about the vocab in the house. Then that night we were woken up by the rain. It was a serious downpour.
Thursday we were supposed to do our service project. We arrived at the member's house a little before seven. He was supposed to have left at six and we would meet him up where we work. But when we passed his house we saw that his house was still shut. We called out for him but he didn't answer. Turns out he was still asleep. When we talked to him he decided that we would not be working that day. NO! Working with him was our plan for the whole day. And then in one instant we had nothing to do. It was a bummer. But we survived.
Friday we had our district meeting. We then went home taking the long way home. We took the long way so that we could visit the member in charge of the family night for the elder's quorum. It was bad news when we talked to him and he said that he was still waiting for the calendar despite that we had told him the week before. Oh well. It's okay. We went and played basketball with one of our branches.
Saturday was interesting. We visited the couple Michel and Karina. They fixed their marriage for the 15th of May. Michel, an excommunicated member, will be baptized that weekend and then his wife the week after. We also went on an adventure. We were looking for a shortcut to one end of the island when we ended up in a field leading into a swamp. Once we arrived at the swamp my companion did his best to push through the thick brush to get through the swamp. I did not realize that it was a swamp until my companion fell over his handlebars into the swampy field. Haha. It was so funny. We went back home in shame but laughing nonetheless.
Sunday we went the church, did our meetings and had a good day. I like Sunday's. I'll see you all soon! I love you all!
