Parties-- Week 45

Ka oha nui from the Marquesas once again - the land where I finally got better from being sick, but it sort of killed our week.


This week we didn't have a whole ton of success in terms of lessons. Like, at all. Between me being sick and all our regulars cancelling, we ended up with less than 10 lessons; something I've had yet to do on a mission. It's been super discouraging. Still no word on our trip out to Ua Pou and Ua Huka. I guess it'll be some time in July (despite all this partying).

Speaking of parties, that's about all that's happened this week. The Catholics hosted this crazy jubilee where a bunch of people from Ua Pou and Ua Huka came and sang and danced, and there was more food there than I've ever seen in one place in my entire life. Probably.

... and that's truly all I have to write about this week. It was honestly really long and kind of lame in terms of work.


Love to everyone,
Tumu Hakako Harrah

-this pill looks like Dr. Mario. Or for those of you who have seen Osmosis Jones...
-if only this picture conveyed how much this itched...

-he found this pig




-the Catholic party



 -the wolf pack (in low quality)
-there was also a music party for France's "Music Day" that we only got to go to in-between all the cool moments, and when it was raining. Still scored some ice cream though




A Note from Ty's Mom:
Here is a picture of the Marquesas so that you know where the 2 islands are that he is talking about visiting.   I look forward to hearing about this next adventure!!

The End of TIME-- Week 103

Image
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 sane in

Pomme Poire Williams: "They Coming with Knives, They Coming with Guns"--Week 101

Longest. Week. Thank heaven it's over. Monday Chilled in this guy's sweet field and hung out with the goats there. It was very tranquil. Tuesday Work. We were busy from 10 am until clear into the night. We had a lesson every hour! I was grateful to have a full day of work, but at the same time, since I was feeling sick it was just kind of torturous. Wednesday Same deal. Super busy. Did a service project and helped plant pineapples. They had a lot of them in their field. The bushes that the pineapples grow from actually give forth to baby bushes too, and you just pluck them off the bush as if they were fruit and you plant them and you have more. Weirdest thing. Thursday A full day as well. The same as yesterday really only replace service project with weekly planning. For a moment we were pedaling our bikes and I just wanted to die. I even sent a text afterwards to Elder Smith and Elder Packer to shoot me with a spear gun. Super worn out. This week was d

"What if this is just a Lovely Bones trap?"--Week 99

Monday The shortened p-day. We took the time to plan out this activity that we're going to do for our ward, and went to go do a family home evening that mostly just got cancelled (whoever the investigator was was out drunk) Tuesday In the morning we went to the temple, and that was quite nourrishing (it felt like years since the last time I'd been), and then we went and had a multi-zone conference with President Fox. It went super well. He shook hands with everybody and took the time to talk to us all a bit. He and Soeur Fox are quite nice. We also went to a funeral in the evening at the Protestant church. Sad deal. It was the mom of my old DMP from Haapiti. It was a nice service though. Everyone was trying to keep their chin up and they sang some fun, loud, Tahitian Protestant hymns with the usual drums and ukeleles. Wednesday A full day's work. We had lots of lessons today. The best one was definitely with Mereani and Poeiti. They were super shy before, but
