JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE BENNY! Today’s my brother’s birthday and it fell just right to be on P-day! Shout out to him my homie for life! Love you! Crazy week that I had and it flew by! Filled with surprises and wonderful miracles! 

Now for some Highlights:

– Surprising split with Elder Larsen (the greenie of our DZs) and he was with us for 2 days! The DZs were in Tahiti for MLC and then had an exchange in Bora Bora after so Elder Larsen just stayed with us! It was great being with him and had a great time together!

– Blitz in our secteur! A Blitz is when all the missionaries in your district come together in another secteur and then we go contacting to help find references for them and it’s so fun to do! This time around it was for our secteur and sadly didn’t have much success but it was still a great day full of little miracles!

– Exchange with Elder Jefferies who’s in Faaroa normally and it was great to be with him! We had an exchange within an exchange! With Elder Larsen and Elder Jefferies but it all was great!

– Wonderful Faatamaraa(member meal) with the family Laufatte (the son of one of my companions)! Also Winter mā(Senior Missionary Couple) came and ate with us and it was so good! Love them and had a wonderful night together!

– Miracle lesson with one of our inactive members that’s coming back to church invited her boyfriend to a lesson so we found a new ami and it was great to meet him! We was very open and liked our message! So we’ll see what happens next!

– Ended our P-day today with a fun hike and got to see all the Islands of the Raromata’i! Or the Society Islands! But we did it as a zone! It was wonderful!

That’s about it for this week but it went by in a flash! 3 weeks till Thanksgiving and 6 till Christmas is crazy! Time is literally flying by! And it’s all my lasts right now! In a weird whirlwind of emotions when you hit your year mark because you start seeing everything you’ve done and how much more I can still experience and so it’s this beautiful time to reflect and see how I can give my all in this time that I have left! I was then reading in my personal studies and read Sister Browning talk titled, “Seeking Answers to Spiritual Questions” and it really touched me and this is a part that I loved that she said, “I testify that placing your trust in Heavenly Father and in His prophets, whom He has sent, will help you to spiritually elevate and push you forward toward God’s expanded horizon. Your vantage will change because you will change. God knows that the higher you are, the farther you can see. Our Savior invites you to make that climb.” I love that analogy of being on this climb of life and to see that the Savior wants us to all climb to see this beautiful view of the miracles and blessings in our lives! I know that when we truly expand our view and trust in this climb of life that the Savior is right by us hand in hand helping us make it to Heavenly Father again! Through our struggles and trials in life we aren’t alone and this climb may be steep and scary at times but we aren’t in it alone but have the Savior right by helping us! That’s it for this week but I love you all SO MUCH!!!! And miss you all like crazy!!! Till next week! Beaucoup d’amour! Ua here au ia outou! Faaitoito!💙
