August 19, 2024 FAUTAUA TAHITI (WEEK 24)

TRANSFER CALLS!!!! So I’m being TRANSFERED!!! IM GOING TO THE ISLANDS!!!!! So I’m going to the society islands or the Raromatai! It’s Raiatea and my secteur is Avera! So it’s by Bora Bora! And what’s so cool is it’s right next to Uturoa which is where the new temple is going because that’s the capital of Raiatea! So that’s super exciting! I actually won’t get there till next week because all those going to the islands this transfer will wait until after the Mission Tour with the general authority! So we’ll see how it goes not sure where I’m going to stay for this time😂 But I know it’ll be great!

Now for some Highlights from this week:

-Had a exchange with the Elders of Fautaua B who are with us and I got to be with Elder Taaroa-Tahiata who I love so much he’s literally the best! He’s Tahitian and literally super cool! Then got to trade ties with him and got a sick tie!

-Had another exchange this week with Facebook mā and it went great as well and it was fun to be with them! I got to be with Elder Sudduth and it was amazing because last time I was with him we found someone during contacting and that same person is now getting baptized and it was so cool to see him again! Literally huge miracle and then got to meet his wife that’s also getting baptized with him!

-Also got to go to a wedding so that was cool! The food was great and it was during the exchange with Facebook mā! It was great and then just after he got baptized the next day and it was such a beautiful baptism because I also got to teach him for a lesson we had again on the last split with Elder Sudduth last transfer which was also a great miracle and he asked me to pray for his baptism so we got to go and see that beautiful experience!

-Transfer calls! So yeah going to Avera, Raiatea! And my new companion is Elder Tenney so I’m excited to see him and it’s cool because I’ve already met him when I was at Taravao in my first secteur!

-Had a huge faatamaaraa with our Ward to say goodbye to me and it was so good but also so sad! They gave me shells and then I got a black pearl necklace that a member gave me and it was the sweetest! Then took many photos!

-Made a beautiful connection with Sœur Juliana Maro who is making my family Local Tahiti shirts, dresses for my sister’s and mom, and then ties for my brothers and dad and found out that her dad is from Avera where I’m being transferred and she started to get teary and was so happy that I’ll be able to meet him! Beautiful connection!

That’s about it for the week but yeah don’t have much time to write a big email because we are going to the temple for P-day and will be busy packing for the transfers but the Lord is in the details and He knows exactly where I need to be and I see the importance of true trust in Him we see miracles happen and don’t need to worry! I know change is hard but I’ve seen how much change has helped me grow! The Savior is there to comfort us and to always give us the beautiful example of how to when we have to experience new go with a smile and know that I’m not alone and He’s there to help me! I can just control my attitude and I know that when I have a positive one positive things will come! He lives and loves us all so much! More than we can imagine and He has a beautiful perfect plan for all of us! I love you all SO MUCH!!!! And miss you all like crazy!!! Beaucoup d’amour! Ua here au ia outou! Faaitoito!💙

-Elder LeBaron☺️🤙🏻🌺
