hi friends.
so one day this week it rained allllllll night and then in
the morning it was nothing but MUD and flipflops with mud makes my pants really
dirty. but! didn't fall down again. so that was nice.
this week was pretty great. got to spend a whole day with
the celestial light of a seventy's tutelage/ testimony. and that seventy just
happened to be my former stake president! and he made a bunch of references to
how awesome texas is during his trainings! and i felt a lil awk but it's all
good.
so the one thing that's really different about vanuatu vs
the US is that the family is like CENTRAL to social life. so like. cousins.
great aunts. second cousins in laws. all are family and they all know your
business and you know all of their business. so this week there was a old grandma(?)
of the big tanna family and like. almost all of our investigators are somehow
tied to this family. so the second news spread of the death all
program/schedule besides work(maybe) is suspended to respect the customs of
someone who just died. which is very respectful and all but people don't really
wanna see the missionaries when they're grieving.
cool story that happened. we walk up to a house that we're
pretty sure is a member's house. some kids are playing in the yard. we were
going to hopefully find/ teach some less active members of the church. but one
of the kids (10 to 12 year olds)asks us. 'do you wanna teach a non member?' and
we're kinda suprised and say. uhm... yes? he then points us to his friend who
has already been coming to church and wants to get baptized. now we're teaching
him. true story. #miracle #whatarethechances #etas #efatezone

ahem. sorry. anywho. 'nother cool thing that happened this
week. the ward mission leader! he just got called and he's super stoked about
the work and so are we and yeah. it's great.
