hah! just kidding.
this week went by really quick and i have a feeling this
next week is gonna go quick too.
went on exchanges with the zone leaders! and they have a
truck! made me miss my old red truck that i drove back in santo... :'( i'll
miss you big red. anywho. the zone leader that i went on exchanges with is
elder piol! when he and his batch got off the plane the travel elders dumped
them at our house! and i went on splits with him for like 2 days before his
plane to santo! so being comps back with him for like a day was deja vu! so
great and we taught 8 lessons in one day! them zl's are on fire!
so you guys remember mama lona? she was baptized like a week
or two ago. so now we're teaching her daughter and she's literally the best.
like she's read every chapter we've given her to read from the book of mormon
and she is absorbing the doctrine and feeling the spirit like a sponge! she's
the best. i already said that. we have a family house night with them tonight.
such a amazing lil family.
so! we made a dinner appointment calendar of sorts to try
and meet all the members like members who wanna feed us can sign up. a thing
that's like literally everywhere in the US but it's not here. but! it's the
best cuz we've been eating with members a lot more and im getting #fat. they
give us a mountain literally every time. and it's kinda rude to not finish it.
but i finish it every time! im not a #quitter! when i eat icecream i throw away
the lid! lol jk i don't eat ice cream. cuz it's fetchin expensive and i'd
rather eat pancakes and good bread than have ice cream. #priorities. why am i
talking about this.
do you guys wanna hear a funny story? well i don't have time
to wait for you to reply so i'll tell you anyway. so. in tanna (island that is
- in the southern most province of vanuatu and has a very active volcano) they
have a custom that whenever a girl has her first period. they cut down some
banana trees and cut up the ends on the tree into basically a flog. and then
they flog the girl with the cut up banana tree until her whole back is all
swollen. i asked a bunch of different members from tanna and also some of our
investigators are from there and they were all like. yep. i remember that, yep
yep. customs here really confuse me sometimes.
i should probably put some doctrine or quote or something in
here. this week we've been teaching the plan of salvation a lot. but that's not
how i like to refer to it. i've felt the spirit a lot this week testifying
about how it's the plan of happiness. that through a correct understanding of
said plan, we can have happiness and peace in this life despite all the
challenges that we face all the time. 'i am the way the truth and the light'
the atonement of christ is so amazing. i'm so grateful to have been able to feel
it's effect in my life and see how it has been able to effect the lives of my
investigators.
yep. that's all for now.
my comp had a sd card reader that works that was basically
gathering dust! so. pictures!!!!
