Fun fact of the week: If you ever go to Kiribati, don't say "komaremare Kiribati!" Apparently people will get mad...

So transfers happened... and I am staying in Rototuna for a fourth transfer with Sister Mariteragi! I am actually killing her, which is kind of sad, but I am so pumped to be with her another one! Shes very hard working and I know I'll continue to learn lots from her. A lot of sisters left to go home which was so hard for me but I know that they're in a better place now :,)

As a new transfer has come, we have made new transfer goals for baptism. One thing I love that our Zone leaders did was ask for a plan of how we are going to reach our goal! So we have a girl we've been working with for some time, and we usually teach a lesson to her each week with her siblings, who are recent concerts. Well recently weve started doing lessons with just her and we feel it will definitely help her faith progress!

Another highlight of my week was Sunday evening! Since the Tahitian sisters go on exchanges to work on the French queue, I go on exchanges with the other sisters to continue to get work done. Yesterday I went to a lesson in the Tuhikaramea ward with someone who speaks Spanish! So I was able to translate the whole lesson! It was exciting as I haven't been able to teach a Spanish lesson  yet. That was a miracle for me!

Hope yous all have a great week !!

Ofa atu!

Hello From The Other Side... Of The Equator

Fun fact of the week: Tahitians eat banana with everything! Even chicken...

Heyyya toks!

So it's been two weeks! Noice. Sorry bout that haha.

So fun story from P day two weeks ago: We decided to go to a beach because that would be lots of fun right? Well half way up the steep hill to the beautiful beach (where they filmed parts of Narnia??? look up Coromandel), our car decided to stop working. It just gave up. So the Elders had to push our car until it had enough momentum to go down by itself (thx physics/gravity), and then we spent the rest of the day stranded. In a beautiful countryside with a fun park in New Zealand, so I wasn't too upset, but stranded no less.

The other main highlight was trunk or treat! Me and my companion dressed up as each other (I'm in Islander clothing with a flower in my hair and Sis Mariteragi is wearing my dress and illuminati earrings...), and for trunk or treat we had a booth for the first time! We had a "good better best" option where if you played a game you got some candy, if you gave our number to a friend you got a cookie, and if you gave away a Book of Mormon, gave us a referral, or invited a nonmember to church you could pie us in the face! You already know which one all the kids wanted to do... Needless to say many copies of the Book of Mormon (no one finna argue with me on whether its "Books of Mormon or Book of Mormons" today...) were given away, and I left with whipped cream in my hair :')

Another cool thing (this is kinda boring so you can skip it if you want haha) was we had someone from Salt Lake come down and give us a training on OTC stuff! She also came and watched us do weekly planning, and we gave her and her mom their first NZ ice cream which is a big deal... but we learned so much about how to improve our online teaching and individual areas. It was awesome because basically everything we learned was from the Book of Mormon. (now to turn this into my spiritual thought...) I just love that no matter what the topic, the Book of Mormon is always related. It truly can help fix all our problems if we turn to it :)

love yous all ! Have a semana superbien!
