Ia ora na tout le monde!!
How was everyone's week? Great? I hope so!
This week was great, but OH SO
SO HOT!! It was even hotter than Alabama summers!
This past Wednesday I went on a
split with Soeur Lawrence ON BIKE!! I have been blessed to have my first two
sectors in car, but the bike was super great even though I was way sore at the
end! Soeur Anderson was sick that day so Shariatamadari and I offered to do a
split so Soeur Anderson could get the car. Soeur Lawrence is still in training,
so in a way I was able to help train her that day and for her to get a chance
to take charge of her sector (taravao 2).
This past Thursday we found a
new ami named Kawai, she's 17 years old and Adventiste but non-practiquant. She
is super cute and sweet and accepted the lecons before we could even give her
more of a background of why we were there. We went back the next day and told
her about the story of Joseph Smith. No jokes...it was started to rain all
around us but none of us got wet. It was as if there was a little imaginary
cirlce around us keeping us dry. She accepted to be baptized and said she would
pray about her date du bapteme! Ugh...I just can't get over how much of a gold
investigator she is!
Also, our good ole Frenchman
amis...Jean. We had our lecon with him and all he did was try and argue why
"getting baptized isn't that simple." BUT get this...the first lecon
we had with him (He talks a TON btw) my comp told him "Fr. Jean lorsque tu
resent le Saint-Esprit, vas tu arreter avec tous les questions et se faire
baptiser?" "Fr. Jean when you feel the Spirit, will you (shut up)
with all the questions and just get baptized?" ...and yes everyone my comp
used the French version of "shut up" but I can't spell it haha. And
Fr. Jean was like "d'accord." Well.....last week he definitely felt
the spirit and he didn't deny that he felt it, but he still weaves around the
concept of bapteme. He's a difficult ami, but one day....one day him and his
famille will be baptized and sealed in the temple!
Saturday! we had our first
Concert de Noel pour le pieu starting in our two wards Taravao 1 and 2. it was
great, though a rough start. I played the piano for some songs and so did Sr.
Lawrence. It was great seeing the amis we invited come and feel the spirit of
Christmas during that event!!
Y'all I just love the holidays!
Seriously it's my favorite time of year! And I'm so glad I'm here in Polynesia
Francaise to share Christ's message!! IT'S JUST SO GREAT!!
I hope y'all are having a great
time with famille and friends and not dying from final exams!
Ua here au ia outou!
-Soeur McKenzie Morrill out!
p.s. y'all should watch the church's Christmas Devotional

I'm wrong but you can probs find it on www.lds.org
