You want revelation? Ok let me just dump an ocean of it on you

“The joy set before us is the joy of assisting the Savior in His work of Redemption”. 
He then cited Alma 29:9, “…and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.”  

WOW what a crazy week!

For P-day we had a foam archery war activity and it was epic! Low key shot the last winning point while stand on a chair behind a blow up target. Just sayin. #katnisswho










Friday we went to the temple and I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!!!! I miss it so much, literally best place on earth. Just being in the one place I know I'm the closest to God, free from the temptations of Satan for a little while. Got lots and lots of revelation. 

Afterwards we stopped by a pizza place, then went to bed to wake up at 3:50. THREE FIFTY IN THE MORNING PEOPLE. Why you might ask? GENERAL CONFERENCE baby :) literally my favorite weekend EVER. 

Can we just take a moment and appreciate how incredibly powerful and wonderful and just WOW general conference was? ...... ok thank you.

I LOVE how much they talked about JOY and following Christ. Us as missionaries in Tahiti are reading the BofM in 3 months and underlining every title of Christ and every mention of joy and it's incredible. And then everyone talked about it in conference! "the joy set before us is the joy of assisting the Savior in His work of Redemption." I had questions I brought to conference and EVERY SINGLE ONE was addressed directly and I just love my Savior and the prophet and this work. I just had the overwhelming feeling that the Lord is REALLY preparing His church to be ready for His coming. How blessed we are to be a part!

Me and soeur Ulunga learned a lot about receiving revelation this week. We had an ami that we weren't getting the same impressions about and we are really searching. But we stayed open and humble and prayed that we could receive the same revelation and it happened! In different ways at different times but it happened and it turned out to be EXACTLY what the ami needed.

Man I love this gospel, never leave it. We are working right next to the Savior to progress His great work. And I love it. It is His joy, and it is mine.

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...
