Transfer.......

Aloha Everyone

      This has been a great week!  I got transferred to Waianae and I am serving in the Nanakuli ward.  Our ward is so awesome!  The members here are so awesome!  95% of the ward here are local I think there are only 5 families that aren't.... The local people are the best!! We are working with so many people and we have 4 or 5 investigators that are progressing towards baptism and 4 or 5 others that are really close. We are teaching three kids, Kaleb(13), Destiny(11), and Krisanna(10). They are all working to be baptized on the 7th of December and are progressing so much!

     So my new companion is Elder Rigby from Idaho......  He is awesome and a great missionary! We are in a biking area and we are working so hard and teaching lots of people! We average 6 to 7 lessons taught each day and we get around 20 to 25 lessons a week! That is a lot more than what I am used to but it is awesome and keeps us busy! Elder Rigby and I get along great, he has been out for 8 months and he is such a hard working missionary. He is our district leader and I am learning so much from him.

       Things are going great and I love it here! This side of the island is much hotter than other parts and we hardly get rain..... But we live right next to the beach and we bike right by the it everyday.  It is awesome to see the beach everyday.

      I cant wait to hear from you all real soon,  Thank you so much for everything!  Have a great week and I love you all!

Aloha Everyone,

     It has been a great week! We have been working with Kawai and she is doing great! We had an awesome lesson with her and she is excited to be baptized.

    She had her 3 daughters with her and after our lesson our ward was playing volleyball in the gym. Her oldest daughter was able to play and it was a great time to introduce Kawai to our members.....

    This week was our stake conference and it was awesome! The speakers were great!  It was way cool because it was directed to Hawaii and the members here. All the speakers wore Hawaiian leis which was really cool. 

    This Sunday was transfer calls, when we know if we are staying or leaving..... Well we got the call and I will be leaving! I am not sure where I will be, but I am staying on Oahu.... It will be good to have some change and get to a new area! I will miss the members here for sure!! They are always so good to us and willing to help us out! 

We had one of our less active families call us this morning and wanted to take us to eat. They took us to Cosco and they bought us a whole bunch of food! It was so nice of them.

    It has been a great week! It will be interesting to see where I end up next. But I am excited! Thank you for all that you have done for me! I hope to hear from you all real soon... I love all of you have a great week!

Aloha Everyone:

This week has been a great week! We went to the Temple today as a zone and so our p-day is today and not yesterday! The Temple was awesome! After the Temple we ate at North Shore Tacos and it was so good! We were in line to order and two girls that are attending BYU Hawaii paid for our food! They were so nice we got to talk with them for quite a while.....

We had a really great lesson with Kawai this week. We taught her the Plan of Salvation and it went great! She wasn't able to attend church though but she is trying! She really wants to be baptized so that is great! Tomorrow her 13 year old daughter is going to come to a Young Women's activity with our Ward so that will be really awesome!

This past Friday and Saturday was really really slow! Elder Orton was sick and we were unable to leave our pad! I thought I was going to go crazy! We were lucky enought to get to go to church on Sunday and he is feeling lots better now!

On Sunday night we had a dinner appointment and we were just leaving our pad to go and one of the guys that lives in the same complex as us stopped us and said he had some questions about the church! So we set up an appointment for later that night. After our dinner we went over to his house and we had a great lesson with him! He had lots of questions that we were able to answer for him and he told us that he can see something that he wants from us but he doesn't know what it is! We are so excited that he talked to us and we look forward to working with him!

This week has been a challenging and very good week! I hope you all have had a great week! Thank you so much for everything! I love all of you! I cant wait to hear from you all real soon!

Love

Beautiful Hawaii

 This week has been a great week!! We had exchanges this week and it was awesome! I left my area and went to Wahiaw with Elder Sellers. Elder Sellers is so cool! He is from Wayne Utah and we have a lot in common! We had a great exchange! In his area we received so many referrals and we had an awesome day!! 

      Our ward had a trunk or treat and it turned out really nice! Our investigator Kawai came and brought her family with her they had a great time. We had a good time seeing the members form our ward and eating tons of candy...... For Halloween we had a half day and we were done at 5:00 pm and then our zone all got together at a members house. At the house they had a fire pit, we ordered pizza and just got to hang out together. It was way cool and the members were supper nice!! 

     We had a lesson with Kawai and it went great! She now has a baptism date for Nov 30! She is so ready to be baptized! All we need to do is teach the rest of the lessons to her!! We are so excited for her to be baptized!

      Well I hope that you all have had a great week! I hope to hear from you all real soon! Thank you so much for everything that you all have done for me!
