Thank you to everybody who came to Tyler's farewell today. It was a great time, and he said he felt loved. Stay tuned for more exciting news from the MTC later this week!
I find it a bit inappropriate to merely say what I did in this last week, here in my last real email, so I wanted instead to use this occasion to reflect and look back. ... and then yesterday we went into the city and afterwards spent a bunch of time with missionaries from some other zones, so we ended up having no time to do mail. Classy. So today I find myself pressed for time and without many words. I feel like the greatest summary of all I've felt and learned will be in my homecoming talk, but even so, I would honestly just like to take the time to say how much I love this gospel and how different my attitude towards the gospel and how to handle what's really important in life has changed so much, and I can't wait to continue to share this same beautiful and wholly real light that exists in this world, and is all that really counts. Please everyone that reads this, know that I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the only way to even stay ...
This week has been the hugest blur. The highlight was definitely our zone's family home evening. It's transfer season again (a little early because the batch of newbies is coming in early), and we had some people peacing out in our zone, so we decided to eat together, and Elder Tekurio (being the stud that he is) had like a nice spiritual thought that had us all sentimental about our zone and the time that we'd spent together. It's one of the perks of being a missionary on Tahiti. You just get to see more of your "family". Also Mexican food. Lots of Mexican food. Elder Lloyd is getting sent home (we still don't know what's wrong with him and he is just not getting better). I'm really sad to see him go. It's been so fun having him around the house. The people in our house right now (that is to say Elders Hanson, Ford, Heckmann, and Lloyd) are a really great group, and it's honestly what's helped me to get through some days this ...
-Elders Lo'Amanu and Bradshaw -our album cover -this couple saw us at a red light and beckoned us into a pastry shop just to buy us a treat. Definitely a pleasant surprise - family home evening in the zone -ward party -are they allowed to sell this? -the only picture from the Papeari road trip -the farewell to Elledge and Lloyd
Ty did such a great job on his talk! He will be an amazing missionary!
