PHILIPÉ!!

Heyoooo another great week in the best place....so Philipé! He is Essies cousin (the one from Togo) we stopped by her house to invite her to the trunk or treat. She wasn't home but Philipé answered. He was like I don't speak very good English and I was like JE PARLE FRANCAIS!! And it was so cool he lit up and we started chatting....anyway long story short we got on the subject of religion and I was like well have you ever seen missionaries back in Togo (he's only been here for 1 month) and he said that he had heard some things about the church but wants me to explain it more to him and I was like SAY LESS. So like pray for me lol...I have to teach a whole lesson in French by myself.....but yeah basically he is the biggest answer to my prayers. In every aspect. 

-funny quote: this is from a Ukrainian family..the parents are immigrants but the kids were born here. So they were arguing about something and the mom was like "this is a democracy" and one of the boys was like "oh really? Cause last time I checked you guys left the Soviet union" I've never laughed so hard hahah 
Its currently freezing here...they did not lie..50 degrees feels like 30 BUT c'est pas grave! 
Love y'all 🤟

Pics! Basically just a bunch of mirror selfies

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 ...
