Tahiti - Week 15

DILIGENCE

"ye shall reap the rewards of your faith and your diligence and your patience."

Alma 32:43

Mickey said she was doing well and that unfortunately nothing exciting happened this week. She was a bit discouraged because she and Sr. Dumouchel tried to be extra hard to be diligent this week and nearly 80% of their appointments fell through and they learned that it's hard to be diligent when you have to rely on so many others.  

Mickey's best part of the week was that she was happy. She and her companion laugh a lot.

She advised us to "enjoy the moment. Oliver Cowdery said, 

'These are the days never to be forgotten.'

 ---live them to the fullest."

Mickey has really been trying to "chill" and enjoy the moments that she has. 

"The more I 'chill', the faster time flies and before I know it, 

I'll be going home and I'm not ready for that yet." 

^^This is Mickey's new Ami! Her boyfriend is inactive, but asked if the missionaries could start teaching her so that he can be sealed with her in the temple one day. haha. I can't help but wonder why he is inactive. 

Mickey thought a lot about obedience this week and she was reminded of a past experience of being asked to clean the fridge and doing things with a good attitude. She said it is also important that when someone asks you to do something, you shouldn't wait - you just do it when you're asked. 

^^Above is Rio and his wife. He was baptized this past weekend! 

He was excited to take the sacrament as a baptized member of the Church!

This week, Mickey was asked to play the piano for a Zone Conference. She said nobody plays piano in Tahiti. Because she is limited in the songs she can play, she was only able to play twice, but she said it was pretty good. 

A language lesson:

"ehh ehh" is an expression in Tahiti. It's used for everything. To say: cute, or sad, or thank you, or pretty much everything.

Funny story:

Mickey asked if anyone in the family was pregnant. haha. Just so everyone is aware, Mickey said nobody was allowed to even think about getting pregnant for at least 3 1/2 more months. She said if she has been out for 5 1/2 months, we can all wait another 3 1/2. 

She said, "It's selfish, but it's the goal." She clearly doesn't want to miss any of the big events!

Well, that's it folks! Keep supporting Sr. Wright, she appreciates it!
