tour de l'isle - Bora Bora

iaorana tatou!

I love Bora so so much.  It is so pretty!  We did a tour de l'isle (biked around the island) and it was so fun! except one of our colleagues got a flat tire haha so I took a nap on the grass next to the ocean.  My mission is so hard.

We never get to use technology but one family that I love has an iPad and we showed them a few videos of the church on it and it was so great.  I miss videos! We watched the because of Him video and I tear up literally every single time.  IL VIT!

We had one investigator who was having relationship problems and we aren't really ordained to talk about that stuff but we do talk about Christ. So we read together in 3 Nephi 12 and Jesus teaches us how to have a good happy wholesome relationship. I love the book of Mormon.  I dont read it enough.  IT IS TRUE!!  Following the teachings of Jesus Christ is the number 1 way to be happy.  My mission has shown me that so clearly. I am so grateful for the church and gospel.  I am grateful for my Heavenly Father who loves me and I know that if I follow Him everything will work out fine.  Every trial has a blessing at the end.  STAY FAITHFUL!

All the loves

5 months - Bora Bora

No group email from Elder Ethan this week, but here are some bits from my letter:

So emails are on an iPad so idk how to do this help. I am good and am with elder Irvine who went to Alta.

I miss you guys all so much! It’s weird. Home seems so close. Like I can totally imagine going to Owens play. I have 5 months what the heck. 

We baptisés a kid Saturday and there was a rainbow yay.  We have so much work. We teach like at least 5 lessons a day. Wednesday we have 8. There is no breathe time. A bunch of Mormons from Provo came to church and after they saw us on our bikes and cheered us on and I felt so famous. 

I love you!  Elder Ethan

transfers!!! - Bora Bora

This week was so great!! I seriously love all these people so much.  It's so fun once you become real friends with your investigators and all the members it just feels like you have a giant tahitian family.  

Im staying in my wonderful ward of Faanui but my comp is leaving to the sector next door.  My new comp arrives wednesday.

We were supposed to do a hike today but Im sick and that is fiu. 

We had an awesome activity with the ward and played volleyball and footsal and it was great.  

I love missions because by teaching the gospel it allows you to understand the gospel so much deeper.    I love teaching repentance because repentance is great hahaha.  Alma 34 32.  

I love you all!!!  Have a great week!!
