rainy beach days
you know what i like? my hair is always curly. not because it's humid, but I ALWAYS have it up on a bun cause it's so hot I don't even like it in a braid..and so it's real fun to have curly hair just for a little while.
RAIN! This is just outside of our house, and it is so deep the rain!
oh, so this lady is the cutest. I was introducing myself, and happened to have pictures of you guys with me (I usually keep them at home by my bed..) anyway she saw our little family and was so cute! She wanted to hear about everyone and she sends you all her love.
me and sis Alafoki were waiting for the bus and trying to take funny pictures to
breeze the time by..just for funzies.
Dad - remember when you told me the last couple weeks to smell the roses, memorize scenery, breathe deep the smell of the ocean...ah, it really helped me fully expereience this mission. We were walking to one of our lessons and I saw this beautiful bush with bright red flowers. I plucked one off, and pressed it in my Kiribati Book Of Mormon to dry...Later that night I asked my companion what the name of the flower was called..she said, "It's a rose." and I was blown away..a little tender mercy from Heavenly Father to find a "Island style Rose" right in my scriptures to remember you always.
Do you love the rain picture? When it rains here - the rain POURS! I love it, everyone comes out and showers..literallly everyone..so sometimes we can't work, not cause we don't want to, but everyone grabs their soap bars and runs under a rain gutter and takes a shower!
One of the priceless lessons I've learned out here lately...just live and let go of the expectations and the outcomes..because Heavenly Father can create such a beautiful life for us..if we but only give him the chance to do so..when we are so focused on what we think should happen, what WE want to happen, we miss the point!
Thanks for all your love and support! lots of love!
