Nothing. REALLY.--Week 92

This week was an even bigger blur than the last one! I really can't even remember what happened. We've just been working hard every single day.

Raimanu's younger sister, Kahealany, is one of our fixed baptisms right now, and she was supposed to get baptized this last weekend, but it was decided that she wasn't quite ready. We want to work on her testimony a little bit more first.

The other fixed baptisms right now are Junior and Tekau (the couple from Paopao that Elder Davis had taught before), but they're having a hard time sticking to their date. They've been putting off lessons too, and now she's sick. I just wish we could actually get a chance to see them to help them out, but there you go.

Craziest thing that happened this week was the transfer. No one on Moorea is moving. But that being said - this transfer is only three weeks long! Ladies and genltemen, President and Soeur Bize are actually going home on June 11/12, and that's when President Fox is coming in. Then, his first transfer there is going to be two months long! And what's more, it will be my last. I was talking with President Bize last night and he mentioned that I would surely be going in three weeks. Of course it's subject to change, but for what he's got planned right now, that's what's going to happen. He said that he "needs me somewhere else". That got me pumped! I love Moorea, but I can't wait to go to one more place and have one more new stretch of life. Here's hoping.

Peace, love, and temple marriage,

Elder Harrah

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 ...

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...

Just Another Week--Week 47

Ka oha nui from the Marquesas - the land where you use stepping stones to cross a river, and you do it with all the casualty and forgetability of crossing the street. This week, we had a pretty good lesson with Suzanne and her family. Really led by the spirit. Unfortunately, we had quite a difficult time engaging them. They didn't come to church, but even a simple invitation to pray about what we said didn't quite work either. We'll just keep trying I suppose. We fixed the hot water heater! Finally! After like 4+ months. It just wouldn't light. We asked around, and we weren't quite sure what to do, we tried some stuff, but we forgot one very crucial thing - gotta change the batteries. Of course. $4. Also, recently when we've been trying to play basketball on the court down by the beach, people have been wanting it so they can play soccer, and our showing up has sort of miffed them a bit. They've gone from playing off to the side, to playing ...
