Ia oraaaaaa naaaa tout le
mondeeeee!!!!
First off I just want to say
Mauruuru roa, Merci beaucoup, et Thank you so much for the many birthday
wishes!! It was truely an amazing birthday away from home! Yesterday afternoon
we had a faatamaaraa with a membre family and they didn't know it was my birthday,
but when my comp told them the wife said "oh my...it is? That's so
awesome, because some random membre who was visiting the ward today just gave
us this cake and told me to share it with the famille, so this is your birthday
cake." No lie it was such a blessing and really sweet!
This past Tuesday afternoon and
half of Wednesday Sr. Shariatmadari had to go en ville into Papeete for an
appointment with the doctor for her toe (just like ME in the MTC but here in
Polynesia). SO I was able to take charge of the sector for about 24 hours. No
lie...it was fun and stressful, but I was able to find 2 NEW AMIS and fix a
bapteme with the little help I had from a jeune fille who came with me on a
split.
SO this Saturday we had a
bapteme. His name is George, and he's 14 and literally one of the sweetest
people you will ever meet. He loved the lecons and immediately wanted to be
baptized. So Saturday we went to his house to wait with him for Bishop to come
pick him up. Bishop got there first and told us that "he is no where to be
found." And this is 30 ish minutes before his bapteme. SO we found his mom
who was as drunk as ever (no joke) and got here to call George on his new phone
and find out where he was. He was like "vous etes a la maison? pour mon
bapteme? oh nooooo desole desole. je suis chez ma copine! j'arrive!!" eh
eh He so lost track of the time he was spending with his girlfriend.
THEN....this drunk guy comes up to our car as we are waiting and points down
the road and says "George." POOR thing ran all the way from his
copine's house to make it for his bapteme. Eh eh bless his heart. But we were
able to make it. He got baptized, and confirmed yesterday. He came up to us
yesterday to thank us for all that he was doing, and as he spoke he started to
cry. He didn't know such a strong feeling of love and happiness could be found
anywhere, until he entered into the church.
We had our last concert de Noel
last night, and after all the missionaries gathered around me in this tiny
little circle and sand Happy Birthday to me in French, Tahitian, and English.
#blessed
y'all I'm so excited for
Christmas, and the Spirit that is here. It's gonna be awesome!!
I hope all of y'all have a
fantabulous Noel and se souvenir l'importance de Noel. L'Esprit de Christ!!
Jusqu'au semaine prochain!
Toujours,
Tuahine/Soeur Morrill :)
