Tahitian eyebrows

"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 thing and afterward we took a trip to the gas station bathroom...

K welp I love y'all! Have a FAntabulous week!

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...

10 MORE DAYS UNTIL I GO TO TE FITI  - I MEAN TAHITI!!!!!!!  Whose counting down? I'm not counting down whaaaaaaa....... This week has been hard and amazing and busy and good and all the things. I leave on the 19th and I cannot wait!!!! We taught a cute old brother that served in Tahiti  and I loved it! I might have only known what he was saying because he was acting out half of everything and translating the other half into french BUT that's beside the point! The spirit is DEFINITELY a universal language! I didn't need to understand what he, or my comp or I was saying to understand the the Spirit was present. We found out Soeur Brown does yoga and is boss. So now she's our cool yoga instructor and we do yoga on a little loft thing above the volleyball courts inside. So if one was to look up at said loft you'd see a yoga samurai doing hand stands and twisting like pretzel cobra and then me doing... not that... and maybe falling on face... tw...
