First Baptism

 Well another week has gone by!!! This week has gone by so fast, but its been great!! We went to Pearl Harbor on Wednesday and did service on the U.S.S Missouri and that was awesome!! We fixed stuff and painted and repaired things.... It was really cool being there and being able to take a tour of the ship.
   This past Thursday we had a mini-missionary come with us. He was with us from Thursday till Sunday. He came with us to experience what full time missionaries do everyday while getting his papers ready. It was a really cool experience for him and for my companion and I. 
Saturday was by far the best day of the week! Jamie (Investigator) was baptized!!! Her baptism was awesome! There were so many people there to support her and I was way excited to participate in my first baptism!! 
   On sunday we stood in on Jamie’s confirmation and she was so excited to receive the Holy Ghost and become a member. Later Sunday night we had a lesson with one of our other investigators named Kalena. Kalena is awesome, he wants to learn and is doing great. We taught him about the word of wisdom and he has no issues with keeping it!!! We are looking for the 17th of Aug. for his baptismal date. 
   Well I have almost been out a full month now!! It's crazy how fast it has gone!! I'm loving Hawaii and I'm finally getting used to the weather. We have had lots of rain in the past couple of days and I think it has rained almost every day that I have been here so far. The rain always cools us down so we like it when it rains!! We are supposed to get a big storm tonight around 12 am. We have been asked to help move some furniture for a lady in our ward before the storm hits. Everything is going great here and I love to hear from you all so please keep in touch!! Thanks so much for all the letters!! Keep them coming!! 


Love Elder Gale


Jamie's Baptism....such an awesome day!
