Week 43 - Oops! Excusez-moi

Iaorana tatou! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm sorry it's been a moment since I've been able to write, and I truly think my english is suffering because writing this has been a special kind of challenge. That's alright - I hope you'll forgive a rushed and overworked missionary.

This week (and this past couple weeks) has been incredible. I have a new companion - her name is Soeur Whiting, she comes from Arizona, and we're basically the same person. We have a TON of fun working together, and our secteur loves us.

I'm dying to send pictures, but we'll see if it works. Some thoughts from this week -

Seeing the absolute joy of someone who realizes it's possible to have an eternal family for the first time makes everything worth it

The family is truly the most important thing in this life. To strengthen our families is one of the greatest works we can do here and now, and the best way to strengthen our families is through the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

And... I finished the Book of Mormon a few days ago. I adore this Book, and I know that the stories and themes taught inside are true. I can't encourage everyone at home enough to take advantage of any little moment you have to read a few verses in the Book of Mormon - this Book has changed my life, and I've watched it change the lives of others.

Tons of love from across the Pacific,

Soeur Sperry

Moorea, which we can see from our secteur. It's beautiful.

Not an incredible picture, but there are more to come. I say that, but we'll see, huh? Don't hold me to that.
