Not being in America for my fav American holiday πŸ₯²πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

This week was very rough but we also had a baptism so I'll talk about that first.

So when I got to the area Ravahere was on date and was only missing a couple key lessons we had to do before baptism. She is the most elect person I've met on my mission. Everything we taught her she was so willing to obey without any doubt. She was basically crying the whole time during her baptism. You should have seen the smile on her face when we told her about receiving the holy ghost and that should could have the same feeling she had at her baptism for the rest of her life. Usually at our baptisms I always feel really accomplished because it took a lot of work to get them there but with her i feel like i did absolutely nothing. She has such a strong testimony and has read the book of mormon twice already. Andddd she said she wants to serve a mission πŸ₯²πŸ₯²πŸ₯²  I love her and her love for Jesus Christ.

Well I don't need to talk about all the bad things that happened this week because the good days always make the bad days worth it!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY  πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ  nothing makes me more grateful for my country than living outside of it  πŸ™ƒ  

LOVE - SΕ“ur Oveson !

Elder $oares Γ  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 πŸŸπŸŒ›

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 ...
