Soeurs in the park (Koutio)


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 porte a porte and gave out lots of books of mormons, and at the end of the day we set up a table at the park, with the banner that said "do you love your family" we had a lot of people come up to us, and a lot of people just smile at us, and this one guy who was doing laps around the park, had a lot of good questions, he would ask a qyestion, we would respond and then he would think for a second then say okay, i am doing to do another lap and then i will come back, he would do a lap, come back and then hed have another question, wed give our response and then hed say "really??" then hed say hold on a second i need to do another lap so can think about this. That went on for atleast 4 or 5 laps, his name was Danny, he was way cool. we had orginally started talking about eternal families, and baptisms for the dead,but he had a question about authority so then we talked about the restoration of the church, he did a lap, came back and said, "so if this is really the church of christ that means you guys have apostles and stuff because, christ he called apostles?" and we responded with yes, we have a prophet and we also have 12 apostles, he was quite suprised, and felt the need to take another lap before he gave his next question. anyway this went on, he was way cool, he was scared to take a book of mormon because he was scared that he would take it, read it, and feel that it actually was true. anyway long story short he took the book of mormon and said that he would have to read and then find us once he knew it was true. when he took it though and opened it up he saw the picture of christ, and was shocked for a second, he said he couldnt figure out what exactly but something touched him when he saw his face. I know that Jesus Christ is our redeemer, I know that this is his church and being able to represent him everyday is something that has brought me a whole other kind of joy. Jesus Christ lives! 

Anyway, life is good all is well, i am enjoying the rain! i love and miss you guys lots!

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...
