Hello week one! Okay, my typing is awful on French keyboards. Ignore all my lovely mistakes.
My
week has been crazy. I cant believe im actually here first of all. How
was your first week? I ate more strange things than I expected, Sheep
heart is delicious, I never ever thought I would say those words, I
scaled my first fish, I ate fish... I didnt gag, so I consider it an
achievement, i smelled fafaroo but the family decided to let it rot for
another week before we eat it, ah,,,
My companion is amazing, she scares me, But she is
really an angel and very very patient and a great teacher, I am
thankful to have her,
My house is epic! Mwahaha, i
was going to send you pictures but i totally forgot my cqmera cord,
next week; we have grapefruit and coconut at our house and members keep
giving me delicious fruits to eat, i have a bunch of bananas hanging
from our garage beaucoup of mango and papaya, Breadfruit, nono, and
star apples are next on the list de manger, Oh and there is a cat, I
couldnt be happier,
The French is coming little by little. The first day
teaching, was awful. I didnt understand anything they were saying. Sœur
Li would look at me when it was time to share my testimony. Thats it.
But last night One of our investigators, shes 15 and lives with the ward
mission leader and i had a great conversation. I love that girl, she is
incredible, and would be baptised if she werent waiting for her
boyfriend to turn 18 in december and be able to confirm her a member.
Sigh... We are working on that...
i learned the words for slippery, wrist, and break very
well this week: i was trying to ask how to say road, slipped, fell on
my wrist and broke the glass on my Watch, sigh,,, it still works, all
is well
Tahiti is intense, Really. WHen you think of Tahiti
you think of the beaches and water. That is not Tahiti. Tahiti is third
world. The area I am in is about 30 km outside of Papeete. People live
in shacks made of plywood and tin roof. Our house is the nicest place I
have seen. It is crazy, but I am loving it. Im thankful I have tons of
tee shirts. I already stand out a lot, and my clothes even as simple as
they are; are ridiculiously nice here. You feel pretty guilty walking
into someones home and eating ribs, and hamburgers, and drinking soda
and knowing this is the only time the family would eat this food. Its
humbling and amazing. I couldnt have been called to a better mission.
That is for sure.
Love,
Sœur Taylor
