            Well, this week has been really good! For such a little island, we have a decent amount of lessons; this week we had 20 which is double the usual! The Lord has really been blessing us! This week Elder Raiau and I got to be a part of another miracle! He told me on Monday that there is an investigator that he and his old companion have been trying to get ahold of for the past three months. So the other day he said, "Okay, lets swing by her house one last time" So, we rode our bikes to her house and sat in the front for about 10 minutes screaming Ia ora na! and Bonjour! Without any success. Elder Raiau then looked at me and said, okay, I’ve lost hope, let’s move on... I can understand why he felt that way, I mean, three months is a long time to go without success! But I i told him, let’s try one last thing before we give up, lets pray. He looked at me as though I was joking, But when I started to pray I think he realized I wasn’t haha! Anyway, I kid you not, less than 20 seconds after we said amen, she walked out of her house! Elder Raiau was dumbfounded and I just sat there and laughed. For the past three months they have been missing one simple thing, a prayer! I think we all at one point or another forget the power of prayer. At least I have. But here on my mission, I’ve come to rely on prayer, and it really has blessed me and my companions immensely! He told me later that that was the first real miracle that he has seen with his own eyes on his mission like that! after almost 18 months!

            I’m so glad that I was able to be an instrument in the Lord’s hands, not only to find a new investigator, but to also strengthen the testimony of my companion! I Love my mission so much! I hope that you are all staying safe and healthy; I love you all so much!  

            As for the adventures this week, I included the photos from last week because they didn’t send last time, also just some adventures this week. I made that hat by the way! Okay, outta time, Love you all! Ua here au ia outou atoa; Je vous aime tous!
