Bye ocean, hello maggots!

How many sisters does it take to clean up a kitchen full of maggots? Not enough cuz we still found maggots the next day. Let's just say they got into our garbage and spawned like none other and there were hundreds all over the floor and a nest of them in one of the cupboards. Mmm gotta love the great outdoors.

Anyway happy pi day and St Patrick's day and Walker's birthday and Soeur Anderson's birthday and the Relief Society's birthday this week! Yes I wore green, no I didn't eat pie, yes we celebrated all the bdays.

For Soeur Andersons bday we decorated in a really really ghetto manner and had hot cocoa eggs fruit and pastries for breakfast then went to zone conference and sang there then ate pina coladas and banana cake. Happy day of birth my companion--I love you with all my heart!!!

For the Relief Society's birthday we had a ward activity with some fun games. At the end they had SO much cake. I kid you not I have never seen such big cakes and that many of them in my life. And here they don't believe in lines and waiting for someone else to go first, it was an all for all. It was almost curfew so we were on our way to leave and the sister talking over the mic stopped mid sentence and said: "sister missionaries you cannot leave without food. Missionaries get priority, we have plates wrapped and ready for you, get food and cake and then you can leave" sooo yeah we got food and then we left. haha it is seriously a sin if we leave anywhere without eating first.

Saturday I got the flu from the vaccines we got this week so that was a party. My comp and sisters in my house were literally angels. 

Happy birthday, Walker!!!! Thought of you lots. What the heck you're an adult. 

So this week they changed the rules and we can't touch the water anymore. Byyyyee ocean! But huge blessing I've always wanted to go to this shallow area with tons of fish and coral and walk through it and we finally got around to it 2 days before they changed the rules! So that was so so fun. A stingray swam like 3 feet in front of us and I almost stepped on like 7 sea cucumbers.

We had another fireside in Tahitian and a member made us all matching dresses and I love mine! The fireside was awesome and our ami came and was super touched. Families are eternal people! God loves us so much and He shows us His love by putting us in families. Cherish and love them my friends.


Peace out!

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...
