Is it a crime to turn on a car heater in Tahiti?

It's been really rainy and windy this week and I almost turn on the heater in the car but then I thought that would be like a crime in Tahiti so I didn't.

Our dear friend Maeva FINALLY got baptized!!! Wahooo! She's been following the church for 3 years and has seen SO many huge miracles to get her to this point! Her son got converted 3 years ago, and left on a mission a year later and throughout his entire mission she'd been taking the lessons and the ward had been doing everything possible to help her be converted. Finally her son came back and baptized her!!! Both of them had lots of tears shed that night, it was simply beautiful.

We had a Preach My Gospel fireside for all the ward leaders and ward missionaries and it was awesome! We helped them be more comfortable and motivated to do missionary work and help the wards do the same. Afterwards we had sooooo much pizza, we basically took a whole box home... pizza breakfast for days whooo!

Had the cutest lesson with a less active member's kids, Kimihere and Tuihana, and their 3 friends Kaylan, Tearemanaaitu, and Tavaiti all between the ages 5 and 7. We played charades and sang "I Am a Child of God" and talked about Jesus. They were all so sweet and joyful and precious. Children are so pure love them. I totally think they have the gift of discernment and can see the light of Christ in people and places better then adults can.

Had lots of fun this week with our ward, they work so hard and they're SO unified and pretty sure their love language is sarcasm, but in a good way. So goals.

Me and the other sisters in our house have been teaching soeur Faatau English slang and all week she's been saying "are you kidding me!" every time something even slightly inconvenient happens and I die ever time.

btw HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOEUR WINDER TODAY!!!!!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING loooooove youuuu

Yep that's all I got. Peace out
Soeur Isaacson

p.s. you're welcome Elder Morrison

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...
