FEARLESS FAITH! Last time, on Hoarders

Had a really awesome week! 

Found out that the Prophet is coming to Tahiti at the end of May for the anniversary of the church being brought here (first foreign mission of the church, 1840ish!) and I'm SOOOOO EXCITED!












Went to the mission President's house last pday and painted with Soeur Fox and that was awesome. We talked and talked and painted a beach picture and ate american candy and talked some more. Love Soeur Fox sooooo much!














On Thursday we went with a member family to clean a old lady's house. She lives alone and is sick so she can't really clean. I went in thinking "ok it'll probably take 1 maybe 2 hours just some basic cleaning"... nope. Turns out she's kind of a hoarder and we spent 3 hours just trying to clean up the food shelves and a little bit of the kitchen. There were sooo many spiders and spider webs and mold and rat poop, etc. We also found food that expired from almost every year since 2002. But she's not a member so we're gonna visit her this week! She was really touched and it was actually really fun.





Saturday we had another sport activity and that was a blast. Played ball prisoner, kickball, basketball on the grass, and sweated way to much but represented america well. Thank you you're welcome.













Also happy happy happy birthday Soeur Semerau!!! You're a magnificent human and i love you.

Our motto for this week was Fearless Faith. We worked on being a lot more bold and acting on spiritual promptings immediately and exactly and we could totally see the difference! Just giving it all to God and being open to receive His guidance.

That's all folks! Bye!

Soeur Isaacson

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH H.  Tahiti. That's it. I LOVE TAHITI SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO MUCH!!!!!!!!  IT'S LITERALLY ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLACES ON EARTH!!!! It's SO Pretty!!!!!! My zone is literally just a road that starts at the base and goes up into the mountain. My constant backdrop is GORGEOUS green mountains with a waterfall way off in the distance. We ride our bikes up and down with jungles and shacks and fruit trees all around and I'm just in awe.  It's just so pretty here and the food is awesome, the fish doesn't even taste like fish IT'S WAY BETTER and there are flowers everywhere. every tree has either fruit or flowers on it. It is INSANELY HOT THOUGH.  You kind of just always sweat. Also I have at least 125 mosquito bites on my legs. ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE, PEOPLE. Mamis literally run over to me and freak out and touch my legs and tell me to put sugar on them and stuff haha. It's so cute and fu...

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...

Oh yeah I'm a missionary...

OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE THIS!!! It's seriously just so much fun and so exciting. It's honestly not as hard or busy as I thought it would be (thank you all for your tips and advice). It's like EFY or college just with a spiritual typhoon. You have a full day, but we have down time and freedom to choose when we do things. The first week was awesome! I said my first prayer in French so WAHOO! Missionary life is seriously just normal life with the spirit helping you accomplish a specific purpose. The first two days I'd be walking with ma collegue (companion) and I'd see to elders with name tags and thing 'Wow look! Missionaries!...' then remember that we're all missionaries, including me. Haha good times... I love finally being here and wearing a name tag and learning the gospel en francais. I still feel like me though. Just regular old Shaustia wearing cute dresses and saying #worthit and ' je ne sais pas ' too many times to admit. So far Fren...
