Yay... we got a truck but boy do we need it!

Hello, 

My companion (Elder Omorodion from Lyon, France) says a medium t-shirt could work but send a large maybe just to be sure. 

Its crazy to hear that Divine San Juan is already home from Hong Kong and her 18 months are done!. It just shows how fast time flies. 

Yes! We finally got the truck. And good thing because we picked up literally sooooooooooooo much stuff from the boat. Because of all the transfers lately and the fact that the mission office has sent us four beds, four mattresses, a dryer and many other things for the houses here… the first day with the truck we drove over 200 kilometres. It was one of those days where we were out running errands from 7 in the morning until 9:30 at night and didn’t think to eat. Normally we shouldn’t have another day like that for at least another week. That way we can actually do some proselyting, heh heh.

We had some great lessons this week. We taught a lady this week who has been investigating the Church for over 20 years. She and her husband recently made the decision to get married and for the wife to be baptised in early November. She broke down in tears when she told us. That’s when you see the true fruits of repentance---when people make a conscious decision to make changes in their life and therefore feel the spirit more strongly. 

Soooo. I’m almost done reading the standard works (the Scriptures) in French, so for the last two months of my mission I’m only going to study in Tahitian. Every personal, companionship and language study will be in Tahitian. IT’S GONNA BE SICK!

Elder Gary E. Stevenson arrives this week. We will be watching the Mission conference over webex this week. Kinda sad to be out in the islands sometimes. We get to miss out on some really cool opportunities. 

We’ve been spending most of our p-days hanging with our branch mission leader, wood carving at his place. It may be something I will get into wood carving as a hobby one day. It’s a very satisfying skill to have.

Well that all I’ve got for you guys this week. Keep staying classy!

Much love

Elder Goodwin 

We got a truck!

Elder Omorodion and I realized we hadn't taken a picture together yet. So we snapped this one real quick for you guys.
