Rocky Balboa in Pirae 1

October 2, 2017

Dear Family and Friends,

We had a trio of sorts this week with Sr Albert (the old sister in our area) who finished her mission Saturday and headed back to Venautu.  Should have filmed those first moments on the bike this week.  Flashing those bowling ball helmets, and rocking the skirt, and the reflective vests in the city.  I almost fell off my bike laughing.  Dad, you would have loved it.

Conference started at 6 am here in Tahiti, but despite that we had plenty of amis there next to us, hearing the good word from apostles and prophets. Granted it was in French, which always makes me tired ;)

Check out the wicked looking fruits they fed us.  So goood.

Sr Durrant fell really sick so she came over at midnight and stayed with us.  It's lame that she was sick, but always good to have the Mami back.  We had a nice fam slumber party with Durrant and my daughter Sr Maitere.  

We run in the mornings with the zone at the track.  The zone is currently 5 Elders and 2 sisters.  This morning we did boxing training with our DMP.  Ran to his house and punched 4 massive tires (his boxing bag) that he glued together.  It was sweeeeet haha

We had a lice epidemic this week, so spent some long nights and mornings picking through hair.  One day we were all a little fiu (fed up) and ended up cutting our hair. I have this cool bowl cut now, #it will grow back later.  I will send pics next week

We have this cool ami named Roberto who has been taking the lessons for a while.  We fixed his baptismal date this week, and we hope to see him a member of this church this month! 

Losing my voice thanks to OLB, port a port, this week.  Maybe not the most effective but pretty fun.  We had one lady that we spent 30 minutes trying to convince her to open her massive gate.  If we stood on tiptoe we could she her over the gate,  so.  we stood on tip toe for half an hour.  Luckily my comp is tall like me and patient and has great calves.  We succeeded finally with "hey we are thirsty.  Can we fill up my waterbottle?"

The sisters we live with are champs and last night (Pday EVe)  we chilled with some music on the beach with the glow sticks you guys sent me!

Love,

Sister Spencer
