E tai'o te misioni taato'a i te Buka A Mormona na roto i te na ava'e e toru!

Translation:
The whole mission is going to read the Book of Mormon in a span 3 months!!


Ia ora na tatou!!

This week was really short considering the fact that our pday was on wednesday. 

Anyway. During our mission conference President Fox and Soeur Fox challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in 3 months. We're going to do it as a mission starting on the 1 of November. We get to read something like 7 pages a day. We are all soooo stoked!!

I was sick on friday and saturday so saturday We did a split so I could sleep all day. My comp went with Elder Jenkins and they fixed a baptism with our ami Gervais. Our secteur is starting to explode and it's aweeessommmee. We are seeing lots of miracles. 

We have two new amis names Tini and Roméo. Tini was a reference from another ami called Moetu. Anyway. We did a lesson with Tini and she said the prayer at the end and was in tears and said that she felt so great and a burning in her heart. It was awesome. Turns out her boyfriend knows our church and all of the sudden he wants to get married to her cause they live together but he ended up reading one of the chapters that we gave her. and he felt the spirit. They're awesome. Also we had 8 amis at church yesterday. Soooo great. 

I also received a call the other day from a member in Bora Bora. Her husband Etau and her son Etau are getting baptized next weekend. I'm so happy for them. It's sad that I'll miss the baptism. But I'm still super happy all the same.

Sorry no pictures this week. I love you all!!

Ua tae mai te hoê Hitu Ahuru. O Elder Ardern to'na i'oa

(A member of the 70 came to our mission. His name is Elder Ardern. 

It was great. Next week I'll explain more cause we really don't have time. But he came with my comp and I to visit some investigators. And he gave me a hug when we had our mission conference. He's awesome. 

Nothing huge to report other than my comp is a stud. He's seriously so great. I have so much respect for him. I love the mission. i love what I'm doing. Couldn't be happier:)

I love you all!!

It was a great week. Not much to report. My comp is awesome(see pic attached) and his english is really good too. I love serving with him and I'm learning so much. I love the way that he teaches and he has so much purpose too.!!

things are going great!!

We saw all of our progressing investigators this week and most of them came to church yesterday too!! IT was soooo awesome. We also just made a plan for the ward to be more involved with missionary work and Elder Donadier and I feel like things are going to skyrocket soon. This ward is great. I love the Bishopric as well. Our Bishop has so much love and charity. He's so smiley and really brightens my day when I see him. 

Not much else to report. I love you all!!

E mea puai roa te Varua Maita'i a hi'o ai au i te Amuiraa Rahi!

Translation( the spirit was strong while I was watching General conference!!)

So this week was great. A little slow to start because all of tuesday I had to wait at the parking lot outside of the mission home to pick up the new of the 30 missionnaires in the mission. Our zone is now 20 missionaries. 5 are being trained which is not too bad actually. the zone next to us, every missionary is training there. There are even missionaries that did 6 weeks of training and they got a new missionary. It's nuts BUT awesome!!!

Got my comp Elder Donadier Wednesday. He's so awesome and French. My accent will be so great by the end of our companionship because we told him to correct us in even the littlest things. 

Anyway. We saw our investigators Jeanne, Moetu, Liliokalani, Tarome, Rava and Tivini this week. they all had some hard moments this week and I just felt sad. Keep them in  your prayers please.

Conference was great as well. I loved the first talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf and the talk y Russell M. Nelson. After his talk my comp and I just looked at each other and asked ,"did you feel what I just felt" It was so powerful and heartwarming. Wow the spirit was seriously there. Won't ever forget those moments. I know that our apostles are called of God and that they lead us and guide us through revelation. I also know that Thomas S. Monson is the prophet living today. We need him. I know that God loves us and I love you all too!!
