Soeur Isaacson's Mission

Ok Heavenly Father loves  w orking His magic holy cow. This week w e've been praying for the family of our ami Tepiu to accept her decision to get baptized  for weeks now. Saturday we fasted for her and another ami and when we showed up for the lesson, bishop, his 1st counselor and his wife, our ami, an inactive member in her family, and FOUR other members of her family (not members) were all there waiting for us for the lesson!!!!!! Before, they wanted NOTHING to do with God or us or anything. They had a huge trial the night before and through that, they all started praying and reading the B of M and all wanted to hear the word of God. At the end of the lesson, bishop gave them priesthood blessings and we gave them as many B of M as we had in the car. Fasting and prayer works!!!!! The Lord always hears and works with our prayers if we're patient and keep working. Sunday, Tepiu and her nephew came to church and they were both starry eyed, the nephew found answers to his qu...

E ua roa mea ma! Its raining tons people! I felt like we were running through peanut butter this week holy cow! Lots and lots of work, not a lot of progress. But that's ok, we ain't stoppin anytime soon! We saw our friend Tepiu again, and as always, she is so strong and in-tune with the spirit and amazing. We talked about covenants and she was in tears. Excited for her to finally make these covenants with the Father. Tuesday we visited our ami and they have a cacao tree IN THEIR YARD and they gave us cacao fruit! Haven't opened it yet but cacao people! legit or what? Did a split with a Tahitian missionary, soeur Gendron and she is SOOOOO powerful and energetic and AMAZING! She hasn't gone to the MTC cus visa problems but she teaches with more faith and authority that I've ever seen. The Lord loves working with the humblest of His children.  Sunday we had 8 of our amis come to church and they loved it! I gave a talk and it was awesome to see all t...

"Personal revelation! The secret to Tahitian is that the eyebrows are in the books!" -me and Soeur Ruiz trying to understand Tahitian We've decided that the accents in written Tahitian are actually eyebrow movement indicators. So secret of the universe is discovered. You're welcome. Went to the temple and as always, it was wonderful. The temple here is like an island castle, seriously. Yay for personal revelation. It rained a ton this week! We spent a super super rainy day planning and visiting bishop. He cut us some cane sugar (on the cane yes!) and we chewed on it while we talked about how to help the ward progress. Awesome bishop! We had SO many miracles this week seeing our amis progress and grow all on their own. The Spirit is so amazing, He guides us and them constantly without us even realizing. The Lord really just takes care of our lives if we focus on the small things He asks us to do.    Yes I do eat coconuts! I drank almost the whole...

Achuru everybody?  Went to the dentist and I still have all my teeth! Wahoo! Low key was pretty sure I'd leave with less teeth that I came with and more root canals than I ever wanted and maybe a couple magic spells but LUCKILY I was wrong haha. We helped our ami make bouquets for Halloween and they kind of judged us and our lack of Tahitian bouquet-making skills but they were still grateful and we had a good time! We visited our wonderful ami Tepiu several times this week and wow she's amazing!! We were prompted to give her a scripture at the end of a visit and she read it that night. Then that scripture applied EXACTLY to a situation she fell into THAT NIGHT. Thanks to her faith and that scripture she chose to follow Christ and help others around her even if Satan was telling her that they don't deserve it. She was in tears, so thankful for the opportunity to become more like Christ and help others which then later had a huge impact on her family and others...

I love Papeari!!! It is sososososo pretty here holy mango guacamole and coconut water. Here’s some of the billions of pics I’ve taken so far.   Yo girl is a professional manual driver now! Yesterday I only stalled the car 3 times and that’s a new record. There’s a road that has a suuuper steep hill to get off the main road and we almost died. Twice. We were trying to get back on the main road on a 80° uphill slant with gutters on both sides waiting for cars to pass so I could try to start the car. There’d be a clear and I’d try to start it while my comp hold the e-brake until another car would pass then we’d wait for another clear, then wait, then go again... it took almost 10 min... but now I’m basically ready for a Tom cruise car chase. Happy bday Soeur Ruiz!!!!! Our amis gave her a palm tree for her birthday. Yes a real palm tree. Yes it was a small new one. Yes we put it in our car. No do not tell the people in charge of our car here. Yes we planted it at 8:00 at night....
