2-27-17 Start off with some SWAG

 

quote of the week: "anything is better than a butt crack!" -us 

there. thats a good starting. where shall i begin. well there is a transfer and i am not staying here like i was praying for but sometimes heavenly father answers no, you know? :( it's all good it's what needs to happen but the saddest parts are that: *

im leaving my daughter. sr dumouchel, hasta luego baby. na na. ua here vau ia oe. eaha to oe i hinaaro? I LOVE YOUUUUUU CRYING POHE ROA 

the other sad thing is that SR AUGUSTINE LARSEN IS REPLACING ME FREAK

all i wanted to to was to live with her. and sr dumouchel. that would be rad. but now, shes just gonna come live with all of my favorite people and voila. bye world 

but yeah im going to Faaa in the ward of Oremu! ill be on tahiti again really close to the city. so no more peaceful drives for me hahaha darn 

i will forever be so so so grateful for this time i spent on a little island named Raiatea (which means the bright sky). its fitting and as we can see my poor sunburned skin knew it too. hahaha i wont ever forget all of the funny and crazy and INSANE and hard and best life experiences ive had here. its so hard to leave knowing maybe i wont be able to come back cause, well, pacific ocean and money and such. but i came to know my Savior here. 

funny how that works

i felt like this week took 3 years actually. so many funny things happened, three weeks worth of funny things. and tahitians have the biggest hearts. as soon as they found out i was leaving suddenly we had 5 meal appointments a day and a thousand necklaces... oh man. 

funny things:

- we made (tried to make) a butternut squash soup with the squashes that sr james and i bought at halloween. but butternut squash soup doesnt work when youre using spaghetti squashes (which we found out after we cooked them and were smashing them up with spoons and our hands). it still tasted really good, par contre. 

- got into a flour fight 

- tried to take some pictures with a mami in our ward but instead she ran out of the pic to go and whack a cat off the table

- mcfreakin lost it. 

- made some stinkin cool t shirts  

- mami got trapped in the bathroom while we were singing at maihi's house so we couldnt hear her screaming for help until she said "HEYOOOOO MARIE ANNE" so loud in her little froggy voice 

- sr dumouchel taught mami some english. she can now say "shut up" and "smelly pig!" way to go. teacher of the year award goes to gwen dumouchel. 

im excited to move on to other things but i just cant seem to breathe it all in right now. i wanna just take one day and look at this island and these people again! ah theres no time on the mission. but everything is ok its all recorded in heaven :) i cant wait to see these people again maybe when we all speak the same language fluently. just imagine how happy we will all be :)

love you all i hope everything is well
