Pink Pineapple is back

Happy 2020! What a beautifully symmetric year. Loved that I got to spend all 365 days of 2019 in tahiti!

This week Heitiare and Tumata got married and baptized and it was wonderful! They were beautiful together and they were so happy. Afterward we had a huge dinner with Tahitian food (which is soooooo heavy holy cow). Their testimonies were so powerful, nothing but joy and gratitude for the choice they took to follow Christ. They were brought to tears saying "I know this church is true and that Christ is our Savior." I'm happy :)

I spent a day with soeur Agustin, a filipino on a bike! I haven't ridden a bike in 8 months so that was a change. But she's such a cutie love her :)

ALSO I found a PINK PINEAPPLE (12 yr old dream fulfilled) literally it was a pineapple... and it was pink... and I almost cried.

And we had a good new year. I didn't hear the fireworks at midnight but my comp did. We ate waayyyy too many mussels and oysters for the 31st and sparkling cider. We made tons of crepes to give to our members.

For pday last week we went to the big market at Papeete and I bought fabric... again... oops. 

Welp I love you guys and I know that God lives! He has given us sooo many blessings and gifts to help us come back to Him. Everyone, READ THE COME FOLLOW ME PROGRAM!!! it's amazing. Find someone this year that could benefit from the blessings of the gospel that you could share just little pieces of joy with. You won't regret it.

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...
