This week was a good one. Monday we started it off playing basketball. And doing a family night where we talked about forgiveness and watched mormon messages. Not to mention that we helped kill a pig. That was a crazy experience.
Tuesday we had our ward mission leader come with us and we did a lesson in Tahitan where we talked about eternal life and another lesson with a young couple where we talked about the Book of Mormon. Then we encouraged another couple to advance the date for the soon-to-be wife's baptism. She wants to be baptized by her excommunicated soon-to-be husband once he is a member again. We explained that it could take years and years but she was pretty stubborn about it. Hopefully she'll change her mind.
Wednesday we did a Tahitian language study with our district president. Since he used to teach teachers how to teach Tahitian, he is a good resource in Tahitian.We did our English class again. There were more people and we taught them a song. Good stuff.
Thursday we spent the day shoveling and wheelbarrowing gravel from one side of a yard to the other. Funny how manual labor seems to be putting things from one spot to another.
Friday we had our district meeting. It's always a challenge for the elders of Rurutu to hear us as we do skype for some reason. So in order for them to hear us we have to speak really loudly or close to the computer. You would have to be there to be able to enjoy the humor of the situation and our ways of working with it.
Saturday we did a young men's activity for wrestling. The young men wanted to learn and so we taught them. It was fun. They had a lot of fun and we did too.
Sunday was pretty normal. Church, meeting, then we headed out the airport to wait for a giant banner that the missionaries use to teach the plan of salvation and the restoration all in one. That was a fun thing to get. We spent an hour with the sisters learning how to explain things and teach with it. I'll have to send a picture.
And today we hiked to the top of Tubuai. Again. It's still pretty, that hasn't changed.
I'm doing well, thanks for everything,
Love you all,
Elder Squires
