Tours de Magenta




okay this week! hmmmm
we are getting toward the end of transfers, so its possible that change will be a coming! but still dont know, we find out friday.
First photo is a picture of us at the "tours de magenta" pretty much the high light of our area. Its about 7 or 8 big and kind of sketchy apartment buildings. A lot of the missionaries dont really like the tours, but their not bad. the elevators kind of remind me of tower of terror thoguh, they are all dimmed and, small and its just a metal box with lots of graffitti on it taking us up to a lesson where we are hoping to share the gospel with someone. Soeur Carbayal and i like the tours though, not necessarily because of the buildings but because there are a lot of people there that we like a lot.
The other photos are of our two youth investigators, Boris, who has been doing really good (although anytime we commit him to do something, he says hell do it if we make him cookies haha). And the other is Kura. they are both awesome.
Last week for p day we had a district activity where we did Quen Toro, and then ate at the top. little miracle of our p day though, when we went to buy our food in town at a little quick restaurant before the hike, a member walked in and said that she wanted to pay for all of our meals (that was all 6 of us missionaries) we were super happy, and the hike was pretty good, i got pretty sunburnt i think haha i need to wear more sunscreen.
what else has been happening, hmm we have a family that we are teaching, the mom is a member but the two kids(9 and 10) arent, and the reason the kids arent baptised is because the father wont allow it. But the family is always so nice, and the kids are so smart! they came to a soiree familliale, family night, at the chapel which went really well. family nights are the best.
in other news, there is a little goat that has been wandering around our neighborhood, not really sure how he got to new caledonia, we think he is someones pet in our neighborhood. but he is so cute, it always makes my day when i see the little goat wandering around the streets.
I am doing good though, all is well, people dont progress here very quickly, everyone is quite slow when it comes to recieving the gospel and acting upon things, but we just do the best we can and try to share as much joy and hope by the gospel as we can. It truley is a message of joy.

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...

This week i got the letters from the ward! so sweet!  Bermos is still  doing good, they live kind of in the woods and its been raining lately making the roads kind of sketchy for us to take our car on, so we havent been able to see him, we are hoping later today though. 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...
