(Sorry this email is from last week... Rosario)
Kaoha nui, e Iaorana !!!
Well, I've arrived back in Tahiti! Leaving Ua Huka was about one of the hardest things I've had to do, I'm going to miss those people so much. We got to say lots of goodbyes and take lots of pictures, but not enough to explain my time on this beautiful island. I rode the helicopter away from the island alone in the back, it was quite emotional.
The shock of coming back to Tahiti was a lot more than I was expecting! The noise from so many cars and people, the lights, hot water, and air conditioning was a lot for me. Seeing so many familiar faces has proved to be exhausting but very joyful. I've made so many memories here in the Pacific.
Being in Erima is very much the same, but a lot of things have changed too! There are lots of amis, and many of the original people I taught are now members of the church! I'm so happy with them and the changes I've seen in people since I left.
This first week I served with Elder Halverson and Tehaamatai. I served with Elder Halverson last time here in Erima! He's leaving for home tomorrow actually. Elder Tehaamatai had to be transfered to Taravao today and I received my new companion, Elder Temarii.
I've got about 9 weeks left of my mission! The time has passed by so quickly, and I can't wait to work my hardest these last couple weeks in one of my favorite wards of all time.
I'll try to include lots of photos :)
Koutau nui for your support and love, I know Christ lives and he supports us as we help him in His work. The gospel blesses people's lives better than anything else can.
Until next time,
Elder Hansen:)
