Joyeux Noël and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! This week went by so fast! It was filled with really amazing miracles! One being we had 3 baptisms today for Christmas, and it was so amazing to experience that within the first week of being here! They had so much light after they were baptized, and they were just so happy! It made me so grateful to be here for that experience! Other highlights for the week were:
Tuesday I think it was, we were biking in the rain and I was absolutely drenched but it was great! We got to our lesson and my companion asked her to be baptized after our lesson and she accepted and I didn’t understand what they were saying in the moment but my companion said after that he asked her to be baptized and she said yes! And I was like no way! I didn’t even know! It was super funny but I could feel the spirit so strong and now I know why!
Wednesday was our Mission Christmas Conference! It was so amazing to see some of those in my old district and be able to meet many others in this mission! Also it was amazing to hear from President and Sœur Tuahu even though I couldn’t understand everything I understood what they said in English! Then after we played some games and then went back to our sectors! It was so fun and great to have that time with everyone!
Thursday we did language study with this amazing family the Colombel’s! They are incredible and have helped me so much! After we then ate crepes and it was so amazing to be with such a loving family!
Friday we had a gift exchange with our district and it was so fun and we also did my first district council! It was great to set goals and discuss together how we can do better! We also ate Vini Vini which is this amazing fish place! It was a Papa’ina burger and it was this fried fish on bread with lettuce and an amazing vinaigrette! It was incredible!
Sunday was Christmas Eve and it was an amazing sacrament meeting and especially truly focusing on Jesus Christ this Christmas and how my life would not be the same without Him! It amazing and then we had a wonderful dinner with my companion’s aunt and uncle! We had Sashimi and Poisson Cru Coco! Also I ate my first Muscle and it was actually really good!
That’s about it for this week! It was so great and it’s crazy it’s already Christmas! Every day gets a little bit better and every day I see my testimony grow and see the amazing miracles if I have the eyes to see them and see that Jesus Christ is always walking hand in hand with me each day and every second of every day! Also I have been trying to be more patient with myself and Thinking Celestial and know that I can only control my focus and make sure it is always on Jesus Christ and know that I am in His hands as His instrument! This isn’t about me and I need to forget myself and go to work each day! He is always the answer and I am so grateful for Him and couldn’t be here without Him!
