Sister Rodriguez Mission Adventures in New Caledonia

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...

okay this week has been pretty normal. We got transfers and i am staying in the same area (excpet it got cut down a little bit) and with the same companion, so nothing too exciting there. cyclone, was about ten minutes of rain and then i think it might have rained a bit that night, so also nothing too exciting there haha. but probably good, because that means every one is safe! the weekend was good though, not much to report on actually, i feel like not much has happened...hmmm oh! we did have a lesson with bernadette, an investigator who is about to go to lifou to get baptised with her family there, and we had a lesson about preservering, where you have "maizena" you add water and its like putty, when you squeeze it it becomes hard but as you release it starts to melt again so you have to continue to squeeze it and squeeze it and swueeze it for it to become like a rock, and she loved it! she pretty much taught us the lesson, saying how she has to continue to preserv...
