Last week of the transfer!! Man it went by so fast! I can’t believe this week is transfers! So much has happened from being super sick to my ingrown toenail surgery to the screaming lady that keeps attacking random people and won’t leave the missionaries alone so now the elders that lived by the church are now in our house because another crazy experience happened with her and so they are here temporarily and possibly permanent until we figure out this crazy situation so yeah! Many crazy experiences but they have all brought me closer to my Savior Jesus Christ in ways only through the hard I’ve been able to become closer! He is truly our perfect Savior and gives us strength to endure through all the hard! 

Some highlights from the week:

I had my first split with Elder Hobbs and it was so amazing to meet their friends of the church! They were so sweet and being able to see their area was cool as well! Their house is right next to the ocean so you could hear the waves crashing and it was the best!

We had an amazing lesson with one of our friends Teaki Teng who accepted to be baptized and our next lesson we will be setting a date for him which is so amazing! It was such a spiritual lesson!

I learned how to make sushi at an activity we went to and it was so much fun! 

I gave my first talk in church in French and it was scary but I was able to have strength from the Lord and did it! The area authority was their too so that was crazy and also many of our friends of the church came! My companion spoke as well and it was super spiritual! Even though it was hard for me to pronounce everything the spirit was able to be felt and it was an amazing experience. 

My toe is continuing to get better each day and I’m actually able to walk now without a limp! 

We had a Soirée Familiale with our friends of the church Alexandre and Hitimahana and it was so amazing to be with them and continue to teach and answer their questions about the church and we played a game with them and it was very fun! Also Hitimahana made my companion, Kaia Colombel, and me a bracelet for us that all match and it is so cool! It’s a Tiger’s eye bead that is for courage and to help us be strong as she says! It was such a sweet gift and they are such an amazing family!

I was feeling pretty homesick this week and it was kinda hard but I had such an amazing experience where I was doing my personal study and everything I was studying was answering my questions and just making me feel better and it was such an amazing experience! I felt Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ’s love for me and it was just an amazing study and just helped me get through the rest of the week!

That’s about it! I know this is a lot smaller email this week but it was a great week and getting ready to start my 2nd transfer here! So grateful for all of you and miss you like crazy! Also so grateful for my family each and every week especially my parents and for their amazing support and help when I may doubt they always help me turn to my Savior and are the BESTEST PARENTS IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!! I am so grateful for this Gospel and for being able to grow my testimony each and every day in ways I can’t even put into words! I am also so grateful for the Plan of Salvation and for that perfect plan from Heavenly Father and through Jesus Christ it is perfect and I am so grateful I will be with my family for all time and eternity! Talk to y’all next week!! Beaucoup d’amour! Ua here au ia outou!💙
