Week 2 in Tahiti: Explaining to people that there is such a better place than McDonald's.

Bonjour! 

Okay so first off my keyboard is very broken and it's french so there will be lots of erors because they have a different keyboard layout and its frustrating haha.

This week was a blast! we had three baptisms and one of our amis(hes 10) asked if i would confirm him. I said yes of course but that wqs the most stressful sunday of my life haha. But a truly humbling and spiritual experience nonetheless. I forgot to say that I get fed by members almost every night and its always great. I never thought Id enjoy cow heart:) haha. also sending pictures here is realy hqrd so i hope i can send some today. We had lots of lesons and we found some new amis too. overall q good week; president Bize cqlled my companion and i alma and amulek (im amulek) that was so cool to hear from the president. from what ive heard hes sometimes a no nonsense person and i realy like that actually. Also i only get warm showers if its sunny. notice how i said warm and not hot. our roof has a solar panel that heats up the water sort of. I can count on one hand how many hot showers Ive had. Makes me feel like i took the mtc showers for granted.  No one here has lawn mowers except for one man ive seen. they al use weed wackers to mow their huge lawn type things. I will never complain again about using a lawn mower. one of our &amis got married friday night and then she was baptized right after by her husband which was the coolest thing ever. their names are Alma and Ruths. We then ate lots of food after the weding:) and po'e which for those who were at my farewell my mom made some but the stuff here was totally different ONLY because the ingredients they use here just don't realy exist in the states. we have the same stuff but like everything here is natural and awesome. 

Because i don't have much time left, i will sign of with my spiritual thought! 

When i was talking with president bize and he caled us alma and amulek, my companion said that its not us dolnig the work, its the spirit. I realy liked that because its so true. Missionaires can work and work, but without the spirit, we're all just young adults bearing testimony and hoping people want to listen. but with the spirit, mirqcles can be acomplished. Ive already sen plenty of litle ones. the spirit is the most important part of this work. 

thats all for this week. Love you all lots
