Elder Samuel Hansen made it to Tahiti on July 29!!!

We were able to see him and talk to him on Monday. He was so happy to share his experience since he arrived. His companion who speaks 4 languages (French, Tahitian, Tagalog and English) is awesome!! He is hoping that the other missionaries will join him soon.

If you look at the map, he is serving right now on the smaller part of the Tahiti island, on the West side. You can see that the road doesn't go all around because of cliffs. There they speak more Tahitian than French so he has a lot of work to do! The people are amazing, the place is beautiful and the food is delicious.

Here is Samuel's quick message until he gets a phone. The phone he had for Tempe doesn't work there:
