No English in our villa

Sorry about yesterday everyone, but we had an awesome zone conference. :)

So a little bit about becoming a trainer. For those of you who know my geneology on the mission my grandmother is Tongan, my mother is Somoan, so it was no surprise when the day before getting my blue came that I had a dream that I was going to be with a Polynesian....not the best dream because she was sitting on me...but a dream nontheless.

So training day came, we went to our little formation, and the trainers were on one side, the newbies on the other and they had this nice slideshow. The name of the ville with the trainer, the trainer stands up, president talks about the ville, and then they say the name of the blue. So he did all the girls first, but me. And I was like, oh its just like when I was a blue, he saved me for last, its all good. Then he goes through all the elders, and the screen goes black, and President is like 'okay, we've done everyone now, you can all go sit by your blue'. And I just stand right up and i'm like 'NO YOU DIDN'T PRESIDENT!!' And he was like, 'Oh no, Soeur Jackson' turns and looks at the APs 'ELDER DUSSERE YOU FORGOT SOEUR JACKSON?!' And I drastically turn around (yes drastically), ' SERIOUSLY, seriously Elder Dussere, your the one that called me to train!!!!!'

Anywho, I guess it was funny for the other missionaries, and President has made A LOT of jokes out of it, so that's cool. Anywho, I got my companion, by force.
Her name is Soeur Tehoiri, she is Tahitian. :) Polynesian just runs in the family, i'm the oddly white person. So luckily she speaks French, unluckily, she doesn't speak English. So now for language study each day I teach someone English, its weird.

But she's cool, and luckily not 19. There are of course cultural differences that are so random and you don't realize until you live with someone. But the biggest difference is probably speaking in French ALL THE TIME now, and that I have to wear ear plugs at night because she snores like a hybernating brown bear. The first night figuring that out was so much fun. Anywho, so yes, I am a trainer, its weird, but I mean like, its all in the Lords hands. haha

So that is that is the biggest news I can give this week. I will spend my whold mission life surrounded by Polynesians. :) 

I hope everyone is having fun getting ready for Noël!!!! Love you alll!!!!
