There are 3 main religions
other than LDS that rule the french polynesian culture
protestant, adventist, and
catholic
they are VERY traditional
hahaha and its been cool learning so very much about other religions cause
before my mission i was mostly concentrated on studying, well, the one i was
gonna go teach.
its also really interesting learning why there is one religion
that has the FULNESS of the gospel, love, and blessings of Jesus Christ. Ive
learned this through trying to explain to angry parents why we are trying to
take their honorable kids out of the family tradition. "he was born
protestant and he will die protestant because thats what my great grandpa
did." well, where is the honor if your child is unhappy, addicted to weed
and is out on the road doing who knows what? once he decides to change and
accept this fulness of christ in his life, thats when you want to throw him on
the street?
when he changes from bad to
good?
ive put a lot of thought into this lately. That change from
unhappy to happy, bad to good, depends on our FAITH in Jesus Christ and in our
ACTIONS we take to show it. our friend Pierre, a single 50 year old bad a
fisherman was just baptised on Saturday after showing every ounce of humility
ive ever seen in a person to get on his knees and commit to follow the
commandments. stop drinking, which is really hard, and to REMEMBER his savior
through his actions. it was incredible. We went through a lot of stressful
moments trying to help him and organize his baptism hahaha but those things shy
in comparison to what he said with tears running down his cheeks after he was
baptised;
"I'd like to thank these
two angels and my Heavenly Father for getting me out of this gulf i was
in."
i dont have much time left or
my camera to send pics this week, but know that there is no one in this world
who deserves to feel lonely or forsaken. GOD IS THERE AND HE EXISTS AND HE
LOVES YOU!!!!! im not a hippie im just someone who tells the truth because i
have found it for me :) helping other people find this truth and get out of
their "gulfs" is literally the best thing in the world. i couldnt ask
for a better life. everything is worth it for blessings like these here
thank you to all of my fans. lol this week sr
dumouchel and i decided that i was a frog and she was a sloth. ive never felt
so sure of myself in my life. frog durrant
