helloooo,
welp this week's email is going to be short
and sweet, because yesterday was tahitian mother's day, meaning that i got to
SKYPE. so mom and dad and fambly, you've gotten your fill of me i'm sure. as
for the rest of you, sorry you couldn't see my tan missionary face, but i hope
you will be consoled by these pictures of a beautiful tahitian sunset and a
crazy tahitian fruit that i honestly don't know the name of in english
because i'm pretty sure it only exists here. (also, i don't know why i'm
partially transparent in this picture, so just ignore that...)
this week was a pretty good one. slowly but
surely the work is moving along, and we're getting some new potential
investigators. the other investigators that we have right now are doing pretty
good, some are progressing, some are not. it can be pretty frustrating
sometimes when you feel like you're doing your best to teach the gospel and
they still just don't get it, but i've found a lot of insight and comfort
through the stories of missionaries in the book of mormon--even THEY had
struggles during the mission, and they were like...really awesome. sometimes
i'm way too impatient with myself in the sense that i feel like i need to be
perfect all the time and that if i'm not perfect by the time my mission is over,
i'm a FAILURRRRRE! obviously this is not true. it's part of the process of
learning patience, i guess. anyway, we're trying our best out here on this lil'
island and i know that God is going to bless us for our diligence. that's about
all i got for now.
hope everyone is doing well and being happy!
enjoy the pitchas and write me ok? love!
love,
soeur hansen
