Short e-mail sent February 11, 2019

Thanks a million for the email! Sounds like life is a party over there! Wow Megan and Dawson are growing up like crazy! It is gonna be nuts when we all get back together, so much fun. Soeur Battezzato leaves tonight, and she started with us. She actually started 3 weeks after because she already knew French, so it's weird seeing her leave. I am in no ways ready to leave, I still feel like I have so much to do here.

 Today was nuts! We had transfers, and we drove all over getting peoples stuff and dropping it off. It was pretty stressful going all through the city not really knowing where I was with tons of bags and bikes in the back of the manual truck, but we survived without any accidents! We literally spent hours in the car though, EFY music is only good for so long...

  Thanks to transfers, I don't have a ton of time to write emails, but I will let you all know that nothing changed with me and Elder Brown, so that's great news! Elder Danielson will get a companion later today, so that's nice we won't be in a trio, those are always crazy. Also, his new companion is Tahitian, so I'm excited to live with him, I have had far too few transfers living with non Americans

  Life is great, the mission is even better! I am going to kill it these last 6 months/ 4 transfers!!! Voila quoi.

  Na na! Gros Bisous!! 

P.S.(The picture above) This is some way funny guy who spent all night showing us his mission pictures, and telling us how important it is to take pictures during the mission, so we all got a picture with him.

8 Months!

   Holy cow can you guys believe that today is my 8 Month mark!?! That means I am already a third of the way done with the mission! It goes too fast! It feels like I just got here!    But man, this week was pretty awesome, we were so busy. We have been working so hard at getting the branch hyped on missionary work, and it is working! We have members who come and knock doors with us, members who go and visit the investigators, and who come on splits with us! It is the best! The members here are so nice and humble, I am so inspired by them and by their service, it is incredible.   I need to give a shout out to one of my favorite members, and to his truck. His name is Frère Tetuanui (Frère just means brother), and he is awesome. He is a big guy, no front teeth (super common), and he is missing an ear (less common). Anyway, two stories about him and his truck. So his truck is totally like something you would see in an Indiana Jones movie or...

Crazy Week / Sent Nov. 5, 2018

Well, this week definitely felt a little nuts. I will try to sum it up the best I can. Wish me luck!    The hardest part of this week was having to say goodbye to Elder Hurd. He had to go home this week and it was really hard to see him go. But I have to give him a huge shout out for being a great missionary, even though he was dealing with a lot of stuff we didn't even know about, and I am sure he will be able to come back one day and kill it as a great missionary.    Me and Elder Clarke have been doing good though, and we thought we were going to finish out the last two weeks of the transfer like that, but nope, plot twist! The assistants called and let me know that later today I am going to go get another companion, someone who is waiting for a visa. So starting later today I will be in a trio again, with a tahitian who probably doesn't speak english, and Elder Clarke who is still learning french, so that's gonna be an experience. Just when I thought my ...

Rain, Rain, Rain - Sent January 8, 2018

  It rains a lot in Tahaa. Especially this week for some reason. The biggest problem with rain is that everybody just camps at home and tells you to go home too. Even bishop saw us out and was like, "what are you guys doing out here!?" so that was funny. At one point it was storming SUPER hard and I had to bike around the island for a split. I decided to whip out my handy dandy poncho, and everyone was getting pretty good laughs out of how it looked. But they sure weren't laughing when I made it all the way to the other side of the island (about 90 minutes on bike) completely dry! Well, that's what I would have said if it was true, but unfortunately the poncho didn't stop the rain at all and I was totally soaked. Got some funny pictures though!   So apparently in French Polynesia there is a tradition. It goes something like this: "The new years party goes half way through January and nobody talks to the missionaries." That's just a rough tr...
