 Hey everybody! Hope you all had a great week! I just want to start out saying sorry!. The adapter thing for my camera is officially broken, so I don't know when I am gonna be able to send more pictures. Super sorry. Just look up a picture of Tahaa then imagine nerdy ol' me standing there eating some steak frites. Boom, no need for pictures from me.   This week was pretty sweet. We got transfer calls! Normally transfer calls come  Friday  night, so  Thursday  I wasn't really thinking about the call. But that night when I was in the bathroom, we got called, and I missed it! Bummer. But the news is I'm staying in Haamene, which means I am gonna be breaking some records for staying on Tahaa forever, that's also the reason for the subject line, I outlasted everyone I came with. And I am also gonna be training! I am super excited for that. I feel like it is a big responsability, but I think I am ready for it, so I am pumped to get going with a new Elder!   An

Everyone who came in with me from the MTC who are still in the same zone! Man it feels like forever since I have written anything. That being said, not a lot new has happened, so I guess that's about all. Have a great week everyone!   Na just kidding, I will share a few stories for you all. First off, for the subject line.

The water is so beautiful. It is perfectly clear near the shore, then it is a deep blue further out. I am always just looking out in awe at how amazing it is. But now that I say that, I need to confess that I am really bad at taking picture, so you will need to wait for next week for the proof on that.    We had our Zone conference last week and it was awesome! I always love those. Just getting to learn from President and Sister Fox is amazing, it always inspires me to

Elder, Il Pluet -- Sent February 19th

When I left on my mission, I told myself I wasn't going to put French or Tahitian in my subject lines, but I couldn't help this one, it is too good. So, the rain hasn't stopped. Nor is it planning on stopping any time soon. And the subject line is what literally everyone tells us. We will be biking in the pouring rain, and anyone who see's us will yell,  "Elder! Il Pleut!"  Which just means "Elder, it's raining". The first responses that always come to mind are things like "No, really?" "Ya don't say" "Well, I hadn't noticed, thank you for the help". But being the good little Elder I am the response is always something simple like "Yup" or "Thanks". The language barrier might be partially to blame, but we don't have to think about that.   Another fun story that involves the rain. It has been pouring buckets since I got here, I now know where the ocean gets all its water from, but t
