And then there was one! / Sent July 22, 2019

 Not gonna lie, I always wanted to title an email with that, but I never really got the chance. I figure since I have one week left, that works. And voila, this is gonna be the last email that you all get from me, so I'm gonna try to make it a good one.   Alrighty, let's see, what inspirational stuff could I share from my two years in Tahiti. I'll make a list. 1)    Well, that didn't quite inspire me like I thought it would, I guess I will just keep writing in paragraphs. Honestly, I can't put in words all that I have learned and felt, but the biggest thing that I need to share is how REAL the gospel is! I KNOW that Jesus Christ lives and that he atoned for all of our sins. Thanks to him we can be saved! We can live one day with our Heavenly Father and our families for all of eternity. And to help us follow the right path, our Savoir has restored his church on the earth and has called his prophet to guide us. All we need to do is keep the commandments, f...

Attacked by Puppies / Sent Sept. 3, 2018

Had a great week this week! Serving with a French companion has been awesome, I'm gonna be so much better at French by the end of this transfer! Lots of good stuff has been happening here in Papara.   One good story for you all. We went to visit a reference that lived really far into the mountain, and when we got there, they weren't home, but they had three way cute little puppies that came out to play with us. We spent a couple minutes with them and then went to leave, but they would not go back home! We tried everything, we tried blocking their path, we tried running, but they just followed us everywhere we went. Finally we decided to walk back to the car, which was about halfway up the mountain to the house, and we went their and just waited to see if they would go home. Finally after sitting in the car for a while they started going back, so we drove away. But then near the bottom I saw them in the rear view mirror chasing us! Finally we had to just go find a neigbor...

It's So Cold! / Sent July 8, 2019

 Well, the last three weeks it has rained every day, and holy moly is it cold! I never thought that I would be freezing here in Tahiti, but voilà there you have it. Honestly, though, we got a little bit of sun yesterday and that was awesome. We got some today too, so good stuff. Life goes on.   It was a pretty hard week, I think we taught a total of 5 lessons, but we had a few miracles that showed us that the Lord was with us. Thursday was a really long hard day where it was dumping rain and EVERYTHING was canceled. At 6pm we had one hour left and we had literally no idea what to do. We said a prayer for help, and the name of one family came to mind, and we were like, well, let's go. We went to their house and the dad let us in, and the spirit was immediately super strong and we knew that everything was canceled to lead us to that place at that moment. It is a member family who has a ton of trials right now. We saw that the mom was holding some hymn books, and we knew im...
