Week Twooooooooo

Okay, being honest the first couple days were a little rough. Adjusting was fairly difficult, but this last week has been awesome!! (Probably going to jinx myself.) There's just so many awesome people here and such a cool and strong spirit. French has been coming along alright, I can now pray in French and bear my testimony in French. We've been practicing conversing and teaching lessons which has been coming along alright. My favorite part of each day is probably our time for personal study though. There's so much peace, revelation and understanding that comes from time spent with just you and the scriptures. I don't know why I haven't been studying with this kind of intent before.

Funny moment of the week:  I made my super shy and sweet companion laugh so hard at dinner that she cried, sooo I would call that a success! Anyway all is well!

Oh spiritual thought of the week: God truly does give us hard times so that we might appreciate the good ones. After each struggle or hard moment these last days it's not till I overcame it till I realize that that struggle is what makes the happy moments so good and makes you appreciate the little things in life. So find the happy, and if things are hard know that that means that there will be joy to come. Even if it's just the joy of being able to persevere.

All You Need is LOVE

yes my package came yesterday!! perfect timing in fact!  Anyway all is well here, normal missionary work, not much to report on this week. Bermos and Linda i think are going to have to wait to go to vanuatu to get married, we tried getting all their paperwork and everything together so that they could get married here but with having to translate a lot of stuff (because their papers were in english and would have to be in french) and what not it became a little too complicated and we wouldnt have enough time, so i think they are going to go back to vanuatu and get married over there and then have Bermos's baptism over there as well. Veronica is doing good, we had to reschedule our lesson for this week, but we are praying that she willl be coming to church this sunday anyway.  Something ive learned in the mission is just how to love everyone, how to accept peoples imperfections and not let their weaknesses get in the way of seeing the good in people, and seeing their di...

elloooooo bonjourrrrr saluuuut  hows it going? all is well here in new cal, workin away in same old koutio! things are going well though, i feel like i dont really have much to report. We did see Bermos this week, and hes doing great! And guess what my dream when i was younger of being a wedding planner, its come true!!! haha we are in the middle of helping Bermos and Linda get married! I dont think it will be quite as exciting as the TLC wedding planning shows pretty sure itll just be a civil marriage so our job is just to help them get the papers together but still! anyway we shall see how it goes over but wish us luck!  other than that all is well, we had a lesson with veronica yesterday that was awesome, she is this really sweet mami (grandma) from wallis, she dosent speak great french so we have been having a member who speaks wallesian come and translate for us during the lesson so that she can understand better, and she is starting to progress! love her...
