This week has been good. We've been a bit busier which is nice. Someone in my apartment is training now so he has a new boy. A fils. His fils is from France and it's nice to finally have someone my age. Before it was a 26 year old, a 24 year old and a 19 year old. It's nice seeing 18 and being in it with him. We also cleaned the apartment and got 100 % on the check. I put photos on the wall too so the apartment is looking nice.
We had a crazy happening this week with setting up lessons. We went to a grocery store parking to call people and literally bumped into three people we were trying to set up lessons with. All in a row too. It was insane. Right at the start of the transfer. I think it was God's way of saying He has my back for these next few weeks. Tender mercy
I broke the shower head so we pretty much shower with a hose now.
We also taught a 14 year old, Christopher who reminds me a lot of my brothers Josh and Sam. He's like a mix. I love him so much. When I teach, he reminds me so much of my family which gets me so motivated. I am so invested in him and want him to learn so much. I see him as my brother. Every lesson with him reminds me why I'm here honestly. As the subject in the email says... My comp fell asleep for the entire lesson, so I taught it all alone. It went super well! I like being in control lol. Christopher noticed though. I love lessons with him so much. All lessons honestly.
We had the chance to watch the Christmas devotional this week too which was so nice. I'm finding Christmas hard being away from fam and traditions. The devotional really emphasized having a simplified Christmas and I realized I'm blessed to also be away from all the things I love. I had made it a goal of mine at the begenning of Dec to really focus on Christ and use this as an opp to learn the true true meaning of Christmas. It's hard here but I'm also lucky. I can really focus for once and I'll have that for the rest of my life. The fact that Christmas is about that birth. And that that birth is only special because of His life. Christmas is a time for Christ. I get to truly focus now. There's a blessing in literally everything.
Love you all,
Elder Fiore

Mom's note:
Well Quiet Elfy - I mean Tahitian Muhu Muhu certainly has been busy. He got in quite a few shots. I'm glad that Zach is having some fun and his comps are playing a long! My main Christmas package hasn't arrived and I am losing hope:( But this little guy is magic:
Zach mentioned that Faaa can be a little rough:
They spent some time doing some serious cleaning and rearranging the apartment. Act said they got 100% on their cleaning evaluation nd he created a nice photo wall for himself to feel more homey:
Love how he is capturing so much beauty even if he hasn't seen the beach yet!
Some interesting food:
And some shots I have no clue why he took them but figured I'd include them as he probably knows why he took them!
This one is pretty funny:
A couple more in the rain:
This Tahitian oil he was telling me about (and said he'd bring some home):
A couple more of his ami that he loves so much:
