5 Great Things From Takapoto This Week

Dear everybody,

  Yay! For this week

  Sr. Stosich and I just picked up a package that the mission home sent on the boat. It took two weeks to get here. And we received Books of Mormon in it! No there wasn't any letters from home, but now we have things to give our investigators.

   I am just going to lay this letter out in a list of 5 great things that happened this week.

1. Yesterday, Jean-Paul came to church for the first time and stayed all the three hours. This is awesome because, Jean-Paul had been mad at God for decades, yet yesterday he found himself at church.

2. We taught some members, Sr. Marie-Louise and Sr. Perepere, how to make brownies. They thought it was the best cake ever when they ate it. (the cakes here usually don't have frosting, so it fit the description of a cake) 

3. It rained a ton. Sunday we rode our bikes to Gloria's lesson. It is a 2 min bike ride from our house to her's, and by the time we got to her house we were soaked. I literally wrong out my skirt before walking into  the house. The rain is great, though, because it means we have water to shower!!

4. Sr. Stosich and I have realized genealogy is a great way to get people excited to keep records. We found some "My Family" books (the booklets FamilySearch has distributed to promote family history) and have been helping people to fill them out. It is awesome because record keeping is not a thing here, so helping out to fill out these booklets with their ancestor's names and birthdates is just a wonderful thing. 

5. For Sunday dinner, we ate chow mein. I love chow mein here because it has veggies in it. Veggies are very hard to come by here. It was great to sit down and eat some of those things. 

Well, that is pretty much it for this week. We have been working on fixing baptisms for the month to come. God has really been working some miracles for us.  I love you all!

Love,
Soeur Campbell
