transfers! - Papeete

Transfers this week! I said goodbye to Elder Coxhead my new zealand son, and I am now with Elder Opuu from Tahiti! And now I only live with 1 other american so hopefully we'll be speaking a lot more French!

The Gospel makes us happier than anything else in life and that is a fact.  And the gospel revolves around Christ.  And Christ's character is one that is never selfish.  I invite you all to think only of others this week.  Pray for them, do nice things for them.  And you will see great changes in your life.

YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER LOVES YOU!

 I've been spending a lot of time doing language study with Elder Coxhead because since he went to the New Zealand MTC, he never really learned French grammar. Cause everyone there normally already speaks french. So I'm taking on the role of French teacher which is really fun haha.  I can teach French much better than I can teach English.  Cause who actually knows English grammar rules???

We're finding so many new people!  There's this one lady that we've seen walk around our sector and every time we think, "we have GOT to talk to her!"  It was an obvious prompting from the spirit.  But every time we would see her we were on our way to a lesson and didn't have time.  But yesterday we saw her at the bus stop and sat down next to her and she told us about how she had recently been excommunicated from the Temoin de Jehovah church and ever since her life has taken a down spiral.  She is always surrounded by drugs and alcohol not the best people and she wants out.  And we had an awesome conversation about the Savior and how through the Atonement EVERYTHING that we've done can be forgiven and forgotten.  We have a lesson fixed Tuesday morning.  I LOVE THE ATONEMENT!!!! I LOVE THIS MISSION!!!!

Pray for others and you'll see miracles

please pray! - Papeete

So not a whole lot has happened in this past week! But things are good!

We fixed the marriage/ baptism of a great couple. Pray that they make it!!!

Also pray for a girl who is 15 and is so so ready to be baptized but has lots of bad influences and she just needs a little push to find the right path!

And for a guy who wants to be baptized but he can't ever make it to church cause he works on a little island hotel and only comes back to Tahiti for a week every 3 weeks!

And for a lady who is ready to be baptized but still isn't 100% sure about Joseph Smith being a prophet. 

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE AND ALL OF YOU!!!!!

Faaitoito,

follow the prophet - Papeete

This week was jolly good!

A seventy Elder Ardern gave us a great formation this past Monday! Which is why I didn't write monday cause p day is today. 

God loves us.  He really is our Father and all He wants is for us to keep the commandments so we can become great and go back home to Him.  Don't look past the mark.  Just follow the scriptures and the prophets.  

Speaking of, President Monson and Nelson's most recent talks have been about the Book of Mormon. READ IT EVERY DAY I BEG YOU!!!!! It is the key to happiness I swear.  It's a rule of life that if we read the BoM everyday we are happy and everything goes smoothly.  I know this is true because I have seen it in my life a hundred times. Just do it.  

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!

The best and only important thing that happened this week was General Conference.

LITERALLY it's like you can have a one on one conversation with Jesus Christ. You pray to ask questions, and then He talks back through the prophets.  So great. 

I loved Nelson, both of Uchtdorfs, and one of Elder Hales last lines hit me so hard.

"when we choose faith, we are preparing ourselves to return to the Savior"

So many plan of salvation themes this conference.  God is our Father and He loves us.  He is perfect and wants us to have perfect joy like him.  The ONLY WAY to achieve this is through His Son Jesus Christ.  

I love you all
