            This week has actually been crazy, I got transferred again. I’m a Zone Leader in Punaauia, the cool thing is, Bora Bora is in my zone! I hope that I get to serve out in the outer islands again before I come home; the islands are a lot different than the main island of Tahiti. Anyway, in my new companionship, I’m with two Elders for the moment, just until president figures out where to put them; Elder Fitzsimmons and Elder Garvasi. Both Americans, Crazy thing is, Elder Fitzsimmons is from Lehi and knows a lot of my childhood friends like Tanner Eastmond and Andrew Massey! He's really cool, I’m glad the Lord put me with those two, we have a lot of phun together, all while doing the work of the Lord. We recently got 22 new missionaries here, that puts us up to 150 or so missionaries in Tahiti. It’s more than tripled ever since I arrived! There were only about 50 missionaries when I got here. This mission is growing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if another person from alpine got called here.

            I baptized a little boy this week who was in my old zone, he kept changing his mind on wanting to be baptized. He said that I was the only one who could baptize him haha. It was really awesome to go back and see my old ward, I miss them all a ton. I had a really cool experience this week with door to door. For the first time on my mission, I knocked on a door! We were on the tallest mountain in Tahiti and after trying multiple doors, I had the pleasure to knock on the final door. When I knocked someone yelled "come in!" which kinda threw us all off guard, so we decided to just wait for the lady to open the door. When she opened the door, we presented ourselves and asked if she had already met with the missionaries. She stared at us for a second and then finally answered with" I’m a member" It was really phuni to see how the Lord led us to some old abandoned apartments at the top of the tallest mountain in Tahiti just to find one of his wandering sheep. We invited them to come to church the next day. Not only did they come, but they brought an investigator with them! Thanks for all that you guys do for me! Let me know if there is anything you guys want or need! I love you all! I don’t have much time left, so I will end my email right.... now.
