bigfala hair.


Sooo, in bislama, "the great apostasy" is "Bigfala Apostasi." I thought it was an appropriate adj to describe my hair. It's seriously enormous. C'est grave. This is serious I need a thinning job, where's Rolland when you need him? Anywaysss,
Ma chère famille!!
Ça va tout le monde? Literally, it is everyone. not sure what she meant here. How are you? I love you all! Thank you for your emails and letters! I love them! They make me happy!
Happy Birthday Smooz and Nicole! And Happy Father's day Dad and Smooz!! I love you all!
This week. In one word? Miraculous. MIRACLE after MIRACLE. It was amazing. And I think it was because me and Soeur Tere are s'efforcing to be as obedient as possibly possible. We've always tried to do that, but it's hard with some things, like staying less than an hour to mange chez les membres eat with members. But! We did that this week. Even if we had to run out the door and take the food with us, we were exacly obedient. And as a result, miracles came.
We did lots of finding this week. And lots of placing Livres. And it was incredible. The Lord led us to exacly where we needed to go everyday and as a result, we had success. In Alma 31, Alma is preaching among the Zoramites and he says a prayer. And in this prayer, he asks for success. I didn't really know that we could ask for that in our prayers as missionaries, but we can! The key however, is found in Alma 32:1-2. We can pray and ask for success like Alma does at the end of chapter 31, but then we have to go to work and be obedient. And if we do these things, we will have success like Alma and his freres brothers in chapter 32. 
Also, it turns out I don't know the baptismal invitation in English... hah. I don't wanna talk about it. Basically, I tried to invite our Vanuatese amie to be baptized in English and I slaughtered it. Luckily, the spirit was there!
Also, I lost the phone again. Friday morning we had our meeting with the dirigeants de zone, and I lost it, I think in the geneology center. But! Heavenly Father answers prayers! And we just found it just before coming here to do internet. Chyeah.
Soeur Tere and I decided to take a vacay week and not do exchanges this week, but we have to do two this next week because of it. But it'll be good! I'm a little nervous for mid juillet when we'll probably have another equipe of Soeurs to do exchanges with. Six! But it'll be good.
Soeur Tere and I are in charge of zone conference in July, it's the 4th. So we get to do the program for that this week, which will be fun! But yah, it's cool, cause right now we have 19 elders and 13 soeurs. But we're getting two new soeurs mid juillet sisters mid july and losing an elder, so we'll be at 18 and 15. Almost 50/50!! CRAZY. But I'm stoked that I get to be in the field to see that happen! It's incredible!! Qu'est-ce que j'aime cette oeuvre!! I love this work
Also, I'm advancing in my french ranks. hah. I gave my first surprise talk in french last Sunday, I dunno if someone was sick or what, but the episcopat came and talked to me five minutes before sacrament and asked me to speak. J'avais peuuuur I was afraid. But! It was good. The spirit was there.
Anyways, I love you all! Thank you for your love and support and prayers!! They are much needed! And I feel your love and support!! Have a good week!
L'evangile est vraie!!
Love, Soeur Santos
