2 hours late to zone conference

sorry everyone for the late email, prez made tmr our p day so we could find ppl today cause memorial day but crazy week! 
So yes we were 2 hours late to zone conference....after we got ready we thought it was going to be held in naperville (for reference we will say farmington from provo) So we put in the address and saw that we were gonna be late, we were like "freak we're screwed" so im like texting the STL's and zone leaders telling them we had food poisoning cause sister vi was freaking out like "no one is ever late to zone conference" So when we finally got to naperville we pulled in and there was not one car in the parking lot. We looked at each other and our jaws dropped..apparently zone conference was being held in Woodstock (springville) so then we had to drive all the way back. When we got there we looked in one of the doors and everyone was sitting in a circle..so freaking awkward also we totally forgot we lied to everyone and told them we had food poisoning hahah it's funny now buttt let me tell you that car ride from naperville to woodstock was dead silent we were stressedddd.
To follow up with katie, last monday she texted us and legit said sikkkeee. It was so depressing but hopefully one day she will be ready. On a good note something kinda cool happened, so we went to go visit some members and we knocked on the wrong door but the guy who answered was super cool so we started talking to him and we were like would you be interested in meeting with us/ hearing our message and he was like no...but I've been sick of ppl saying no so I decided that I was gonna start saying why not and I asked him and he gave some lame excuse that he doesn't like organized religion and I was like bruh you haven't even heard our message yet so then we asked again and he said yes. He is legit so cool I can't wait to teach him!!
Anyways love y'all write me tmr cause its my actually p day

Elder $oares à Tahiti

Image
YOOO my time is running out as a missionary. I'm gonna miss it. Especially when we have weeks like this one. God decided I needed to go out with a bang for my last transfer. Elder Soares came to Tahiti and spoke for my very last zone conference. It was exactly what I needed. I'll drop some good quotes. - Missionary work is not a sacrifice, it's a privilege. - If we want to know God, we have to serve him -There's a difference between helping someone be baptized and helping them become a disciple of Christ. -Discipleship comes from hard work -You can leave the mission field but don't let the mission field leave your heart -Live a life that attracts people to the gospel -Have the courage to be different - weekly accountability letter to the savior after the mish (you missionaries will understand) Man the list goes on but those were some of my favorites. We are currently teaching the cutest family and walked around the temple with them after our lesson and they told us ...

You and me go fishin in the dark 🐟🌛

Image
Yes I did indeed go fishing in the dark but it ain't the same vibe as the song :// Also jokes on all you of who drop hundos on fishing gear, all you need here is an empty water bottle, string and bait. Man I think I'm obsessed with fishing now. This week was exhausting. Our days start with lessons at 8am and goes until 8pm. It's non stop all day long. It is work! Sometimes all I want to do is take a nap in a cold dark room but it's all worth it when the amis change because of Jesus Christ, and you can see the fruits from your labors. We've been working with another family and just yesterday they decided to get married and baptised April 30th. I told them I was getting transferred at the beginning of May and what do you know it! I guess they want me to be here for it  I know you are all so sick of me talking about the Book of Mormon but legit everytime I read it, I think to myself "this is amazing how have I never read this before" A quote that I found this...

Provo, draper, and alpine

Image putting 3 sisters from provo, draper and alpine together. Don't worry we've already laughed about it hahaha but yes a sister get ETed into our companionship. I love trios so no complaints! This week we got to drive around all of Tahiti for some filmings. One mans example really touched me. Some background: He doesn't have a lot of things in life, no phone no car, no bike. His house was made out of cement with sometimes no roof covering it. His conversion story is amazing, but after we were done filming we saw that he had a big table of fruits. (Usually pretty common for people here to sell fruit for a living) Next thing we know he's putting together a whole bag for us. I run out to the car to get some money and when i tried to give it to him, he very sternly refused. He said " i know that charity is the pure love of christ" I felt so bad for taking this big bag of fruit. It's literally his income. Over my mission I've noticed that the people who ...
