Hi all!
This
week has been a good one. Elder Bakow and I had about twenty five
lessons this week ( 10 With less active members ). We were stoked. We
fixed a baptismal date with one of our amis, and we even found some new
people. We've talked with like everyone on the whole island. And almost
everyone has let us come share a message. Yesterday we met the pastor
of the local Catholic church, and we got to know him. Nice dude. He told
us about the island back in the day, when pearl and mother of pearl
were Huge here. He worked with lots of people who came from all over the
world. Even Japan. Apparently a huge storm came and killed the
industry here, when it wiped out the lagoon. Sad stuff.
This
week, we had THE boat come. Only one boat came this month . A mid-sized cargo ship. Because of the boat's late arrival, (it came Sunday,
but was supposed to come Saturday ) the whole island was at the docks
instead of being at church. Our branch's sacrament meeting was held at
six PM after the boat had gone. If you miss the boat, there's no red
meat and you can't get your stuff from Papeete. So we spent all of
Sunday morning at the dock with the whole branch. On the bright side, we
got our bikes and laundry soap! :)
Today's P-day was relaxed. We took some food photos that I'll have to show you
later. We found some cool crabs, and we helped a friend understand the
instructions for his appliance which came on the boat. I don't have much
time to write, but thank you all for the e-mails and for the prayers. I
love you all!!! I was happy to hear from you all, about graduation and
fishing, and about all the adventures in your lives. Know that I love
you, and I look forward to seeing you all again. It is getting closer
and closer but I don't know if I can be excited for that day or not. I
just want to do my best as a missionary and though I don't want to
finish it will be so nice to be with you!
Have a good week!
