This week was wonderful! We had some fun, worked, biked, loved, lived, studied, taught, and life is good :)
So this week the stake of bora bora was created! So awesome! Its combined from three islands. Maupiti, bora, and Tahaa- where I served a year ago!! Its cool cause back in Tahaa they were telling us to work hard so the stake could be created. And now its finally happened!
There was an awesome dance/ talent show friday, a fireside saturday and the stake creation sunday. And since our chapel is too small it all happened under a giant tent in downtown bora!
Our ami Veena got to bare testimony at the fireside and it was so awesome! I feel like I'm her parent and am just so proud seeing her up on the stand for the first time!
Spiritual thought! God's work is moving and we are all invited to be a part of it. The GA who came down from SL explained that even if we live in paradise, we still need to work. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that he is accomplishing miracles through humble people every day. If we pray and ask to be a part of His work He will make us into what He needs us to be.
We hiked up into the mountain to see if anyone lived up some creepy dark trail and at the top we found some ancient sacrificing grounds and our buddy Teiva showed us their "taro" farm. Taro is super yummy. Its like a purple or green potato that is sweet.
I'm sorry I don't take more pictures!
