Baptism for Kalena




Hey Everyone..... It’s been another great week!!

    Kalena our investigator is doing great!! His wife had her baby, so there should be nothing holding him back now!!! He is so ready to get baptized!! We ended up not having a lesson with him this week because of the baby but we have talked to him several times and he is doing great and is reading and praying!!
     We now have another with a date!! Ikaika now has a baptismal date for September 21st!!! He is so excited to get baptized and can’t wait!! He has a smoking problem but it shouldn’t be too hard to fix.... He wants to change and wants to make that difference in his life. He should be able to give it up pretty easy..... We had a lesson with him last night and we showed the restoration video and he loved it!! When we got over to share the video there was another girl named Tiffany that also lives with the Lee Family (Francis and Jamie). Tiffany watched the video with us and she was really interested and wants to learn more!! We were so excited to get a new investigator!! The Lee family is awesome!! Francis was baptized the first part of July and then his wife towards the end of July!! And Ikaika and Tiffany both live with them!! Because of the Lee family it has opened new opportunities for us to have new investigators!!
     Once every transfer we get to go to the temple and tomorrow we get to go as a zone!! It is going to be so awesome! I can’t wait to go to the temple here in Hawaii for the first time!!
     Well everything is going great and the work is progressing!! The rest of this month and the upcoming months should be great for us!! There are so many people here that are open to learn more!! We found out this morning that Jeffery R. Holland is coming to speak to our mission next month as well!! I can’t wait to be able to listen to him live!! Well I love you all and can’t wait to hear from you! I hope everything is going good.........
