A feeling like no other

On Sunday we had lunch with the Sun family and with a new investigator Bermos! i think i told you about him last week, he is awesome! He really just wants to get baptised so hes willing to do anything to get baptised, he isnt married yet so Linda and Bermos are working on that but other than that they are doing great.
This week has been good! Soeur Chung Tien and i have been working hard and praying and fasting a lot for our area, and we have already seen the blessings. Saturday we saw an ami who we invited to church, she said not this sunday but maybe the next, but then sunday morning comes around and she had changed her mind and decided to come to church with us! Also another ami, Bernadette has been working on getting baptised for a while now but hasnt been able to stop smoking, sunday she told us that she hasnt smoked for the last 5 days (and thats the first time she has ever gone that long without smoking) we are stocked for her and continue to pray for her everyday! We have lots of potential new amis and a lot of people who are either continuing or starting to progress. I love the people here and i love seeing the changes that start in them when they start to accpet the gospêl. I dont think theres ever been a time in my life where someone telling me they read the book of mormon, or that they stopped smoking, or the fact that someone came to church, were things that made me so happy. But honestly seeing people making decisions to come unto Christ because the spirit touched them is a feeling like no other. ohhhhh missionary work!
all is well here in new cal. since the escargot i havent eaten any weird food or anything. But yah not much to report, all is well! 

Time is weird here, parts of me just want to be done and come home and enjoy home life again, but then i love what i am doing here and this tiny little island with such awesome weird people, time will come.

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...
