Tahitian dogs are evil

Umm so I tried to pet a dog and all the sudden it grabed my hand and bit me. I've never wanted to smack something so hard in my entire life. And I like dogs!! But they are are legit evil here...I miss you mimi..
So this week was better than the last one, it's still been an adjustment trying to figure out how to find people here and we honestly came up with some really good stuff for this next week that I'm excited to try!

Idk if you all watched the devo by president Nelson yesterday but it was SO GOOD. That man is called of God...go watch it if you haven't

Here's another story that I forgot to write about. This happened a couple weeks ago at Makemo but we were meeting with a woman who is a member of the community of Christ but since there isn't her church at Makemo she came to ours since it was the closest thing (lol) so the first lesson we were kinda just asking her questions to know what she knew. She told us that they believe in all the scriptures we do (Bom, D&C, Bible, and pearl of great price) so then we were like "oh so y'all belive in the plan of salvation then too?" And she had no idea what we were talking about. I didn't get to teach all of it because I got transferred but it really grew my testimony. Not just of the church but of the scriptures. There is no way you can claim to believe in all those scriptures and not know about the plan of salvation. Or ANY OF THE DOCTRINE. If a church's doctrine doesn't line up with scriptures....well sorry it's not a true church....The church of Jésus Christ of latter day Saints IS the only true church.

In the Words of Joseph Smith "I knew it, and I knew that God knew it, and I could not deny it."

J'espère que vous allez passer une bonne semaine!! Avec amour,

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 ...
