Hey first off before I forget, Happy Birthday Grandma I love you!
So here is an
update on what is going to happen these last few months of my mission. First
I'm going to the mission home for a training reunion, since I will be training
a new missionary out there. When the reunion is over, we will have the occasion
to go to the temple, I'm not sure if we will have time though, since the member
that is feeding us for my birthday, planned the dinner a little earlier in the
day so that we could take our time eating ha. I'm so spoiled here for my birthday;
this ward (like all of the other wards) has really become my family.
Today we spent
most of our P-Day with a member family; they are making us hamburgers and fries
for dinner! Next- I return back to Papeete and I stay the night there because
my flight is the next day. That's when I will be out of contact for a while.
The deal with that is (and I confirmed yesterday) there is no internet on
Taenga. The nearest island that has internet is Makemo, which is an hour boat
ride away. So I got permission from the president to go to Makemo if I needed
at times, to send you all updates. But for the most part, I'm not going to be
in contact with you guys.
I'm really excited
to go; I remember the last time I was out in the islands I was really on a
spiritual high. So I'm excited for that. The only concerns that I have are for
my new companion. That's a lot to handle as a first sector. Fresh from the MTC
then not being able to speak the language or talk to your family... So, pray
for my comp.
I should be coming
back to Tahiti a few days before the end of my mission; I will try to contact
you all then. I love you all so much and thank the Lord every day for this time
He has given me to grow in His gospel. I've definitely been so blessed and know
that as I continue to put my trust in Him, no
matter what the situation, I will be guided and protected; so Ma, don't
worry, I will be coming home this year!
I'm selling my bike
and hope it will get me some extra cash when I come home. Do you think I will
be able to exchange Tahitian money into American money without being too ripped
off when I get home? Well, I'm probably going to find time to email you guys
one last time before I leave. I love you all, I love my mission! The church is
definitely true.
