fighting for Jesus, and for dishes 11/7/16



 I think i cried when i read that story that dad sent me. thank you fam for still embarrassing yourselves endlessly hahahahaha i cant even stand it. oh man im excited to receive moms version also. sr james was like "what the heck is so funny"
good job isaac keeping the family proud. if no one else is proud of you guys, i sure am. stay the way you all are hahahaha im still giggling about it. i have this image in my head of poor sister authority "oh my" hahaha lol 

i have an experiece like that maybe ill tell you one time when i have more time 

mom to answer that question, i dont get letters for like a month after they are sent and then they all come at once usually. since im on a different island right now we have to wait for the boats to come with our things that are shipped from tahiti. so theres that lol island probs 

for halloween sr james and i made some hilarious videos about our strange experiences on mission already. it was like our videos we make at home hahaha ill find a way to send them to you but they wont make sense

ok love you all really i do :) REALLY A TON AND IM NOT KID

 sorry short email this week! but its SO GOOD lolol read me

We fixed a couple of baptisms on Friday because of this AMAZING spiritual lesson we had (actually with pres of the mission and his wife). All we did was talk about christ and sing a song and bear testimony and cry a little. Incredible how just the knowledge of our savior brings that heart softening spirit into a room. I will never forget all of these experiences I have where all that Was needed to change the course of s lesson is just a picture. Just a picture of his face and a small testimony of his love. This changes people so quickly and so powerfully. It's one of the most profound things I have learned here on my mission. I know he lives and cares for INDIVIDUALS. he is there and his presence is physically there when he is testified of, which is why we have his name on our hearts. i feel so so grateful to be able to do this great work!! HE LIVES! he is real! i just wanna shout it from the tops of mountains! which works because we did a cool hike today to the top of a raiatean mountain. so pretty. why am i so lucky

Turns out that spirit doesn't last forever unless you make the efforts, because yesterday they told us they want to stay catholic. They didn't even have a good reason but we know it's because they just thought too much and went back to their comfort zone! After tons of talking and encouragement and sharing, they agreed to give it another go and keep praying and reading. Man it's hard to see things like this. I KNOW they are ready. They just have to do their part also. Step out of the comfort zone and into the miracle zone. 

Other deets... 
Every day I see the ocean and that's cool. 
There's a cute little Mami who lives here with us in our cute pink house 
Yesterday a woman fought me physically when I tried to do her dishes. This happens more often than it should 
Mangoes are GOOD 
Tahitian is hard hahahaha how am I Gonna learn it. Prolly just the same way I learned French lol

we watched a part of a thing that happens only once a year only in certain islands of polynesia, the hawaikinui. its when large amounts of muscular people canoe from island to island and its insane.
