                Well this week really has flown by. My companion and I really have been working pretty dang hard. We have 10 baptisms fixed at the moment, 9 of them shall come to pass in the month of November. It makes me so happy to say that I was a part of these people’s lives! I got one of the coolest surprises on my mission thus far this past Sunday. A family came up to me, (I baptized their daughter) and they told me that they have started going to temple prep classes and that they will be sealed as a family for time and all eternity in December. They invited me to go with them into the sealing!!! If my tear ducts weren’t clogged with Tahitian food I probably would have teared up a little. I got to see first had how much of a difference one missionary can make. I never thought that one person could make a difference, especially not me. But now I know that God sent me here for a reason, to make a difference in this family’s life!! I am so blessed to be his servant!!

            I remember the first time I went through the temple, I had all of the people I loved with me, family friends, all the people I wanted to see after this life. The only way that experience would have been better, much, much better, is if my sister was there. But hey, I will take her to the temple with me soon after my mission! I can’t wait to go to the Temple again, it’s been about a year since I last went... too long.

            We should be celebrating Christmas here on the 16th of December. I realized too, that All these next holidays, are my last holidays in Tahiti on my mission! It’s my last Halloween, last Thanksgiving and last Christmas- Crazy.

            Anyway, for the pictures this week, Elder Lee and I had to be traveling assistants and dropped off all of the baggage for all of the new missionaries. So along the way as we drove around the whole island of Tahiti, we stopped and some cool sites and took pictures. It’s crazy pretty here, and I can’t wait to show it all off to my family when we come back together after my mission. Well I think that’s pretty much it for this week, I have probably forgotten a few things, but hey, I should be able to remember them and tell you in next week’s letter.  I love you all so much and Pray about you all the time, Stay safe this week!
