TRANSFERS!!! Wow it’s crazy that I have been here for a whole transfer!! So much happened! And it also flew by! It was sad to say goodbye to Elder Adams because he was transferred to Papeete and my first companion here! But my new companion is Elder Whetten and he is very nice and speaks great French and Tahitian! He’s an American from Oregon and goes home in November! I’m excited to see how this transfer goes with him and to continue to get to know him! 

Now for some Highlights from this last week:

-I had a split with the DZ(Zone Leader) Elder Niger and it was so amazing to be with him since he taught me so much because he was going home that week! I asked him what advice he would give me since he was going home and he said enjoy every moment you get here because it goes by fast! He said try everything and do everything so you have no regrets! It was such good advice and I was so grateful for that opportunity to be with him! 

-Tuesday was transfer calls and so we had our Fatams at the Colombel family’s house with pizza and then we got our assignments! The food was so yummy! But I was so nervous for the calls because it was my first one and I knew my companion would be transferred and was nervous for my new companion! But he’s great and I didn’t need to be nervous!

-We had a bunch of Fatams (Faatamaraa) with families that Elder Adams wanted to say goodbye to and the food was so good but it was sad because he was leaving!

-Transfers were Thursday and it was crazy because we just stayed home all day and didn’t do anything because we had to just wait for my companion to get here and it took all the way till 19:00(7:00pm)! 

-We put one of our friends Teaki Teng on date for baptism on March 29th! It was such an amazing experience and it’s a far date because he’s still not all the way ready but it’s amazing because he really wants and feels good about baptism! He’s 17 years old and it was amazing because he was like I feel so much joy in my heart when he agreed to that date!

That’s about it! Kinda crazy because with transfers our week was kinda not normal so not too much happened! Sorry for the short email! I’ll try and make a longer one next week! But all is well and Elder Whetten has been very kind and I’m excited to have this next transfer with him! I really saw God’s hand in my life this last week with being able to have my nerves calmed and being able to not freak out because of the change! It’s amazing how God always answers my prayers and it’s not always how I expect it but He is always there! It’s all the same work no matter who I’m with and to always trust in His perfect plan that He has for me! I’m excited for this next transfer and for what’s in store! All I can do is keep moving forward with faith and trusting! He is with me always and with everyone always if we have the eyes to see Him!
