Santa Clause is coming. Fun fact- I got to hear the Elvis Christmas Album (a timeless gem) cause it was playing at the mission office!! And in "here comes santa clause" he sings "Santa knows that we're God's children, and that makes everything right". And that's so cool cause how true is that!!
I still miss snow and such, but there are a lot of christmas concerts the church puts on, and those are so much fun! Even if all the songs are in French!
I'm rereading the General Conference talks in La Liahona and ya'll should do the same! Like they are straight gold!!! You can read a talk in just like 5 mins and feel uplifted and learn something! It's such great knowledge, how lucky we are to have prophets on the earth to teach us!
Taught Feliz Navidad during the English/Spanish class! My comp teaches spanish, and since the American version of the song has english words we thought it'd be easy to just do that! They all loved it, and of course I danced like a fool to make everyone laugh.
Went to a music shop and played an actual nice guitar! Haha the worker in broken english told me to play "cooly" cause I guess I was gettin a little too into it!
Ok so interesting thing about hair. Back in the US, I was used to lots of comments about my hair, when it was very volumus and curly. But here, everyone has the same hair as me haha! So the style is straight hair. ALL the Tahitians love straight hair. So I go to get my haircut, and the lady cutting my hair just starts straightening it. I was like "What?????" haha I started laughing cause it looked so funny to me but I didn't say anything cause I didn't know how to explain that I thought it was odd. She probably thought that I always straighten my hair, cause that's the style here! So I had straight hair for a day.
Got unreasonably soaked the other day. Rode bikes for a while while it was dumping, and it's like I literally stepped into a shower. My socks were soaked. For the rest of the day. I love Tahiti
Been out for 4 months now!!!
I hope everyone has a great Christmas!!! You're all amazing children of God! Do something nice for someone every day. CHARITY IS THE KEY
All the loves,
Elder Jenkins
