Koli poki and Feki

Ou la la la la what a Week! So remember how we had a baptism on the 5th? Well not anymore cuz her dad said no :// imagine standing in the way of your daughters salvation...I cannot (keep Kianavay in your prayers)

Other things:

•Tahitian weddings are lit. Somehow I got stuck with the job of doing the brides makeup....like idek how to do mine but okay
•Everyone here keeps asking me if everyone in America is obese and eats McDonald's for every meal HAHAH okay thank you I know im tubby these days
•You know that ice cream you can buy from Costco that has the coconut shell (you eat with a little White spoon) FAKE!! I shaved the outside of a coconut and wow that's a lot of work. 
•weaved some coconut leaves! All these years of making friendship bracelets paid off  😎

Sorry my emails are all over the place....here is a little spiritual thought

I've been thinking a lot about praying in faith and the will of God. There is a fine line sometimes between these 2 things. You simply cannot control the will of God, even when you pray in faith. Praying in faith is followed by action; it's a verb. SO if something in your life is not going the way you want it to and it's out of your control; that is God's will for you. Something you CAN do is pray to love your situation. Do not underestimate the power of prayer.

Love YOU ALL!! -Soeur Oveson

If you only look at pics its okay hahah i still love you

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 ...
