a little miracle in Ouemo


Bonjouuuuuuuuuur

This week was pretty good! Lots of changes and stuff happening, it has been a busy week. Soeur Carbayal and I worked really hard together our last week, and it payed off. One day we were out contacting in a neighborhood where there was literally no one and every house had a gate on it so we couldnt knock on any doors or anything, it was hot and we were tired, we had walked around for a long time not seeing anyone to talk to. So we walked towards the ocean and just looked across the bay for some time, not really knowing what to do this next. then this younger lady came next to us, she was collecting rocks for something (she explained what, but it was in french so i missed that) my companion and i went up to talk to her, and just see if she would be interested in the gospel or the book of mormon, we gave her the book of mormon and asked her if she would read it and she said, definitley, she said that she thought we were a sign sent to her right then in the middle of this empty neighborhood. She was really sweet, and said we could come by and talk to her more about the gospel. She was definitley our little miracle that day, our efforts had paid off. Unfortunately I wont have the oppurunity to teacher her though, because i was transferred this weekend, but i am happy we found her, and hope the other missionaries keep in contact with her. If nothing else, she made my day

I am now in Koutio! With Soeur chard, so new companion, and new area! i am stocked! She is from utah, shes been out for about 15 months and yah! it should be good i am excited for some change. Other than that my week has been pretty good, all is well things are going great. It was hard saying good bye to al the people we were teaching in ouemo but i am also excited for koutio and for some change!

 Soeur carbayal and i ordered pizza together our last friday. i am the one that ordered on the phone, and i just went with traditional because i thought that it must be normal and yummy, and i knew even if he explained to me the other options on the phone, i probably wouldnt understand cause you know french. it ended up being a pizza with hard boiled eggs, potatoes, and bacon on it which was kind of weird but it tasted pretty good still

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...

But yah its been RAINING!! i love it! i forgot how happy the rain makes me :) the sun had been stressing me out! 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! This week was good! we had an exchange on monday, i was with Soeur Tuaone for the day and she is awesome, shes part tongan part samoan but she grew up in texas, and she went to byu hawaii for a year! we had a lot in common so we had a lot to talk about. We did contacting for like the entire day but it was so fun, we sang songs for people with the uke, we did some...
