Iaorana tatou, Not much to report on this week! The work goes on. Tuesday we had several lessons as usual, Wednesday I had a split with the wonderful Soeur No-. She served in Tuauru ( the other secteur of Mahina ) while I was in Matavai, and we reunited for a day in Mahina. It was lots of fun!

Not too much to report this week. One highlight was the baptism of L-, who you might remember was a reference from a couple in our ward for the secteur of Matavai. L- and R- came to all of the activities the week before last, and during one of the firesides L- received a direct answer to her prayer, so the next...
