Eaha to'outou huru teie mahana?
That means how are you all doing today in Tahitian. I can sort of speak the language I was half called to speak.
It's hot here.
Anyway this week was full of just interesting things. To start Elder Murdock and I found out that we teach a drug dealer:) We still love her to death we were just kinda shocked. Also last week we found this Papi (a papi is a very old Tahitian man) who only speaks Tahitian and let me tell you all that teaching a papi in tahitian is already hard and my tahitian is getting there but there's a lot to work on still especially concerning comprehension but also this papi is convinced that there were only three prophets who ever lived. Amos, Isaiah, and Joel. He reads out of the Tahitian Bible only. I'm not going to say that the Tahitian Bible is an abomination, but it's just been changed so so so so so much. It's made by Jehovah's Witnesses and it's just not the same bible we have. But anyway there's that trial. Jk this papi is super nice.
It's mango season.....(mangos are his favourite)
Also yesterday at the chapel the sacrament bread was banana bread...Apparently they do that every fast sunday. All I'm going to say is that they broke it into the biggest pieces I have ever seen for sacrament bread.
Our investigators are doing great. We think she will get baptized if she keeps doing the things she's doing. The people we teach are just great.
Spiritual thought for the week. We had a zone meeting and our zone leaders gave the training and talked about the little things in our lives as missionaries. I thought it was funny because I say all the time to investigators that they need to recognize the little blessings in their lives and also they need to do the little things to grow their r faith. It was only until friday that I finally realized how important that is. I definitely felt that I needed to put that into practice as a missionary here in French Polynesia. But it's true. It's all the little things that matter. Little blessings and little actions that we do that augment our faith are so so so important for our mortal progression.
So that's pretty much it.
I love you all so much.
