Sister Rodriguez Mission Adventures in New Caledonia

okayyyy, this week has been pretty good. Last p  day we went bowling as a district, and even thougyh for the tahtians it was their first time bowling (apparently they dont have bowling in tahiti) all 3 of the tahitians scored better than us 3 americans haha so that was funny. I had my exchanges with our sister training leader Soeur Chard which was fun, I just spent a day in her district and doing missionary work but with her. She is awesome, she is from utah i believe, but also lived in the east cost as well. we made pizza, at some mcdonalds, knocked on lots of doors, and also played our ukes and sang at the bus stops giving out some books of mormon, it was a good day. sunday night we had a fireside for the young men in our ward, and one of our amis Boris he gave a talk, it was so good! he is super close with a lot of the young men in our ward which is great and listening to him give a talk was way cool. 5 minutes before the fireside though one of the young men leaders ...

for relief society we discussed the talk from last conference about lifting up your eyes and opening your mouth, and coincidentally its been raining all this week so we took picutres of us lifting up our eyes and opening our mouths haha that was the talk from president choi from seattle! i love that talk 

okay this week hmmmmm what happened this week, oh! okay so we have a new investigator, her name is Terese, we found an old fils (or paper that we use to keep track of the lessons that we have taught to people) from 2012, she had already had 3 lessons but it was a long time ago, so we went to knock on the door, and she welcomed us to come back another day, she said that the missionaries had just never come back after the 3 lessons, and that she had seen missionaires on the street mutliple times since then but never talked to them. The first lesser on went well, we taught the restoration of the church, and i asked her if she believed in Christ, and she said, "yes, i saw jesus" my companion and i were kind of taken aback and we said, "oh, wait actually" from there she told her story. between the time she had last seen the missionaires and now, she had been in an accident and was in a coma for a week, she said that during this time she had talked to jesus...

okay this week, hmmmmm well transfers happened, spent most of last week with both my last companion and my new companion in a trio because my first companions new companion wouldnt be coming for a couple of days. haha did that make any sense...any way point is i spent a week in a trio with two tahitian companions! and spent my birthday with them too! since my birthday was p day we emailed, we ate at my favorite sandwhich place, and we went  home and played uno and made donuts it was a pretty solid day. this weekend there was a releif society activity for the stake. it was way cool they had each ward do an island dance as a show for everyone, the dances were way cool. and it reminded me of hawaii and the pcc. Besides that not much else is new, same invesitagators and same less actives that we visit since i am still in the same area, but new companion, so we are figuring things out together and discovering some new places. oh the flower crowns - apparently in tahiti ma...

This week has been pretty interesting, we did a hike called Kuendu beach as a district, it was way fun! since we had two that were finishing their missions this transfer, the tahitian sisters in our district made flower crowns for everybody it was way fun, and that view from the top of the hike was gorgeous, we were sad to say goodbye to Sœur davis and Sœur decady but still happy for them. oh! at the top of the hike i got my headstand ill send a picture! Besides that, there were lots of changes this week, we had transfers on monday! I am going to be staying in ouemo but i have a new companion, Sœur Carbayal, she is from Tahiti, she is really nice and laughs a lot. She actually got to New caledonia at the same time that i did, just 6 weeks ago. Not just that but technically i am training her, haha which is kind of weird but fun haha. the first 12 weeks in the mission field you are trained by another missionary, my 12 weeks got cut short i guess, and will technically be finish...
