Cookies make everybody happy


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 asked if i would play the piano for the fireside i agreed when he told me the opening and the closing songs. But it wasnt till during the fireside that i found out there were about 4 other musical numbers that i would also be accompanying, some of them went alright but some of them were pretty rough haha everyone is too nice and relaxed here to really care thoguh thankfully. so yah that was kind of embarassing, but "casse pas la tete"
besides that our week was pretty normal, i think i am kind of sort of getting used to how things work here, how missionary life works, how to talk in french...kind of haha. My companion is not one that like silence and she loves to listen to stories (especially stories that are about the movies) she asked me if america is like the movies, and if high school is like it is in all the movies, and i told eh not really. she asked me if i was a cheerleader and i told her no but that becky, my sister, was and she started going crazy asking if she dated a football player and things like that, she asked how becky met her husband and how they decided to get married in the temple and how the wedding was, she was funny, so there you go becky you made my companions day yesterday haha. but yah i end up practicing lots of french just from telling stories to my companion haha
other than that, things are just going, working working working, oh i taugh my companion how to make cookies! She liked that a lot, and we brought some to a member to say thanks for feeding us every monday night and working with us and i guess other members saw and now they want cookies too haha but we are poor missionaries, and choclate is far too expensive here sooooo yahhhhhh but cookies, they make everybody happy.

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...

As for Bernadette she is doing great! and a plus her sister, who isnt a member has seen how bernadette has stopped smoking and now wants to meet with us so we can help her stop smoking as well, so now we are teaching her sister too!
