so....
i just finished reading all
these things about marriage and broken trucks and what not. hahaha i screamed a
lot and started crying and all of the sisters in our office here just freaked
out too. we love the ring AJ hahahaha and they say you are beautiful. "ooooooh
ils sont beau!!!!!!"
Ian i really hope you had a
good birthday too!! i ate a piece of cake on the 8th in your honor but i forgot
my camera so you cant see the ah man... im not gonna hide it from you guys that
i just hate missing things. i hate it hate it hate it i just wanna be present
for these fun times in the life of my family. and sometimes i dont know what im
doing here. like, i get all worried that maybe i am doing everything TOTALLY
WRONG and i am failing the Lord because of these silly personal problems i cant
overcome. how does one overcome so many all at the same time while also trying
to learn two languages, motivating an unmotivated ward with an unmotivated
bishop, and unmotivated investigators with thousands of problems of their own?
then i feel... unmotivated. and selfish.
at the same time, i will NOT
deny that i have had some of the most personally spiritual and edifying
experiences of my life here. I have felt the most love and comfort in my very
worst moments. i have been driven to my knees so many times to simply ask for
the strength and motivation to keep smiling. if anything, i know that HE
LISTENS. that this church is true and that God loves his children. i know that
jesus christ our savior and he will not leave us stranded. he has done
everything and so much more. he has already conquered these things that are
hard for me.

"Not the centipedes"
hey world, the bigger world
outside of a tiny island in the ocean someplace :)
this week. same old same old.
actually there isnt really a same old in tahiti. too much stuff happens. for
example, i have this allergy to mosquitos or something and so my bites
sometimes turn into infectious owies... sorry not too pretty. its really not a
big deal but the tahitians decide that they are going to save my life. each
different tahitian. you have to understand that they are very loving and very
determined to really fix this problem for me with their strange remedies... so
far they have tried:
-slathering me in mono'i (locally made oil that
smells good but doesnt do smack)
- making me drink ginger and water and i hope
not other things
- rubbing garlic on my skin
- coming to our house with all kinds of
medicine that has no relation to infections
- heres the winner. someone
killed the giant centipedes that live here, put them in a jar with alcohol and
ginger and water, and let it sit there for a long time. then they PUT IT ON
MEEEEE noooooooooooo
theres always a new story
like this. i cant tell them all.
but anyways. there is a
transfer and im staying here in vaiari but bye bye sr xowi, my favorite new
caledonian. i have no idea actually when my new companion will come because
shes actually on a different island right now! oh no. but her name is sr ho and
shes from china! like the only chinese missionary in the whole ocean i think :)
im pumped to meet her one day.... for now i will be alone with the other
sisters and work with my members. :) pray for me the little lonely just
finished training missionary.
also pray for my bro who just got
HITCHED!!! or just attack him or something.

it real and remember that christ has done it all for us already, we just need
to show an effort.
