Chocolate... the true VIP

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 their bright faces. It was all thanks to the members and the work they did to get them there. Do missionary work people it's the best!

That's about it, we were supposed to go on a hike but it's pouring rain so we're gonna go polish seashells... haha cant really complain can I? #paradise

Remember that no matter what's happening in your life, a prayer, a moment alone to breath, and some dark hot chocolate can fix more problems that you think. Heavenly Father wants us to be happy. That's our nature.

Ua here au ia outou!

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...
