Bonjour tout le monde!
Yes, this week, I tried fafaru! For those of you who don't know
what that it, it's basically rotten fish with coconut milk... It REEKS! It
smells like really old men and rotten eggs. It doesn't taste horrible (I wasn't
gagging or anything), but it's definitely not my cup of tea. Soeur Rooarii, on
the other hand, was in heaven. Ma'a Tahiti heaven! We were at an inactive's
house this Sunday night and he made pretty much every type of Tahitian food you
could think of: fafaru, poisson cru, poisson rouge, poulet, manioc, taro, rice,
preto (manioc cake) and more! And he really makes it well! We're going again next
Sunday, and I'm sure he's already preparing the meal, haha!

On Monday, we went to Soeur Michele Tetuira's house and made
poé! Poé banane et poé citrouelle, which is basically pumpkin. SO GOOD! And now
I know how to make it and it's super easy so when I get home I can make y'all
some! And I also learned that tapioca is manioc. I never knew what tapioca was
but now I do. Fun facts!

This week, we had a lesson with a new ami [investigator] named Louise! She's
really interested, and I think she'll progress really quickly! And we have a
potential ami that we're going to teach for the first time tomorrow, so
I'm excited! Yay for new amis!
This Saturday is the bapteme de Moise! Woo hoo! Look for
pics of that next week!
And now I can't think of anything else to say because I just Skyped
with you and we talked about everything already... haha. I'm going to send this email and then another with more
pics!
I love you all and sorry my email is short! I kinda spent some
time reading all your emails because I like hearing about your lives just as
much as you like hearing about mine, haha!
Je vous aime! Bonne semaine!
[I love you! Have a good week!]

Note: Laura says that there are several pit bulls on the property, but the dogs love the Sisters! She lives in a converted home with two apartments on the lower level and one larger one on the top. Their home, as most of the homes there, is surrounded by a wall. They have a washing machine in their bathroom to do laundry, which they then hang to dry.
