Week 75 - "That is the Polynésie flag" -sœur Temaiana, pointing to my half sunburnt leg

Yep another 7 days went by. Felt like 7 years. Listen if anybody ever says "a mission goes by SO fast" RUUUUNNN because they ARE LYINGGGG


But that's a good thing because that means there's precision so yeah refining and all that

Did (virtual) exchanges with the Guyane sisters, always great to talk with them they are awesome 🥵

"Perhaps my first lesson about truly good Saints without guile was learned when I was a young missionary. I moved into an area with an elder I didn’t know. I had heard other missionaries talk about how he had never received any leadership assignments and how he struggled with the Korean language despite having been in the country a long time. But as I got to know this elder, I found he was one of the most obedient and faithful missionaries I had known. He studied when it was time to study; he worked when it was time to work. He left the apartment on time and returned on time. He was diligent in studying Korean even though the language was especially difficult for him. When I realized the comments I had heard were untrue, I felt like this missionary was being misjudged as unsuccessful. I wanted to tell the whole mission what I had discovered about this elder. I shared with my mission president my desire to correct this misunderstanding. His response was, “Heavenly Father knows this young man is a successful missionary, and so do I.” He added, “And now you know too, so who else really matters?” This wise mission president taught me what was important in service, and it wasn’t praise, position, power, honor, or authority. This was a great lesson for a young missionary who was too focused on titles."

Anotha one

"The service that counts most is usually recognized by God alone. In our pursuit of me and mine, have we forgotten Thee and Thine"

I'm very grateful for all the missionaries here
