Week 32 - When the Weeks Fly

Wow, every so often you can feel the time slipping through your fingers out here. This is crazy. I feel like if I don't hold on tight enough, it'll all just be over before I know it.

Well, this week we saw miracles all over the place! The biggest miracle was at the very beginning of the week, when we finally did a lesson with Miretta. Miretta is the daughter of one of our recent baptisms, and she's wonderful! To sum up our lessons with her, we invited her to pray if the church was true, and she'd already prayed about it; the next lesson, we started to introduce the history behind the Book of Mormon and she interrupted us and said "I know this story!" and then perfectly summed it up and told us she'd read all the introductory information to the Book. Every lesson, we're stunned. Already, she has such a love of and desire to know the truth! She's amazing.

(at the chapel in Vaiari. All of that on the sign is Tahitian! I'm understanding Tahitian as I read it, which is great! It's a little harder to understand when people speak it - it's just so fast)

(me and my companion at a faatamaaraa on Sunday. We wear Tahitian dresses on Sundays, so voila. We love it)

Tons of love from the middle of the Pacific,
