READY SET GO TO THE TEMPLE!

OK seriously let's just talk about the temple for a second. I got to go with Sr Bready for her last week and wow. The changes they made are incredible! So beautiful! I was so touched, I know that the temple is literally the Lord's house and He's directing His prophets and man He loves His children! Everyone- go to the temple this week!!!

This week we had a fireside given by the missionaries in the stake and it was awesome! It was all in Tahitian, themed on the Living Christ. we sang and watched Mormon messages and had members share testimonies and read quotes from the Living Christ. And I gave the closing prayer in Tahtitian #killedit #giftoftongues We had lots of members, a good number of inactive members and a few amis come! Not a ton but numbers are not the point! 

Afterward we went to a faatamaaraa and they asked me to pray in Tahitian cuz they thought I did a really good job haha. It's the Spirit not me but thanks quand même. 

We went to the beach/mini dock one day and there were ton of people fishing and it was so cool! There were tons and tons of little fish, like all the fish you'd find in a drs office aquarium #dory and there'd be kids with a string of fishing line and a piece of chicken on a hook and they'd catch like a fish a minute. Haha we were such Americans watching them... 

I got soooo sunburned this week. Literally tomato red. We had ward council and everyone came up to us afterward SO worried cuz we were so red! They were like ya know it's important to work but take care of yourselves and don't die ok? haha gotchya merci beaucoup

My comp Soeur Bready is gonna be in the states tomorrow agh! My new comp's name is Soeur Anderson, excited to meet her!

Had a really good, busy week. It's so important to stay focused on the Lord. Life is so much better when you life in His light. You're just simply happier and life works out better. When we do the things we're supposed to, and we keep going with patience and love for others, life is just better. 

Love you all! Faaitoito!

Soeur Isaacson

Iaorana!!!!!!!!  Can I just say I loooooooove Tahitian!!!!  Fave words:  haamahanahana (enlighten)  nehenehe (can/beautiful)  haamaruuru (to thank)  faaamu (to feed)  faahaamana'oraa (reminder)  it's so weird and hard but I LOVE IT! Absolutely beautiful and fun and genius! We taught Tahitian members and RMs (TRC) on the SECOND DAY of Tahitian and it was awesome! That would've freaked out my pre-mission self but now I was just excited to get thrown in the deep end right off the bat. We literally just read phrases off our paper (after kind of learning how to pray and the pronunciation of words) and said maitai (good) to everything. It really helped because I'm a lot less scared to teach my teachers and learn Tahitian in general.It's super backwards and like caveman talk but SO beautiful and really humbling and mind blowing. Love learning about other cultures and their ways.  I loved this Halloween! My mom sen...

10 MORE DAYS UNTIL I GO TO TE FITI  - I MEAN TAHITI!!!!!!!  Whose counting down? I'm not counting down whaaaaaaa....... This week has been hard and amazing and busy and good and all the things. I leave on the 19th and I cannot wait!!!! We taught a cute old brother that served in Tahiti  and I loved it! I might have only known what he was saying because he was acting out half of everything and translating the other half into french BUT that's beside the point! The spirit is DEFINITELY a universal language! I didn't need to understand what he, or my comp or I was saying to understand the the Spirit was present. We found out Soeur Brown does yoga and is boss. So now she's our cool yoga instructor and we do yoga on a little loft thing above the volleyball courts inside. So if one was to look up at said loft you'd see a yoga samurai doing hand stands and twisting like pretzel cobra and then me doing... not that... and maybe falling on face... tw...
