Aloha everyone!!!!

      This has been a great week! We had zone conference on Tuesday and it was very long, but it was a great conference.   We met with Destiny and Caleb this week to get their baptism all lined out and everything looked good, but then at the last minute their mom changed her mind and said they can't get baptized...... they are so disappointed! We are trying to teach the mom to see if that will change her mind, but she works like 3 jobs and is always gone. The kids still want to be baptized we just need the mom to say ok.... We are hoping that things will go good for them!
   
     Kekoa is doing great and his baptism is scheduled for this week Sunday(Dec. 22). He is way excited to be baptized and he is ready. He loves to have us over and you can tell that he feels the spirit!.Nicole is another one of our investigators and she is doing great! Her husband is a member and she wants him to baptize her. He is working toward that goal and he just quite smoking and things are looking great for them!

     We are teaching lots of people and so many of them are so close to baptism! These people are so great and so willing to listen to us! We have an awesome ward that wants to help us with the work. 

Yesterday we had the opportunity to help a member in our ward set up her Christmas tree and it was so much fun because she just let us go for it..... We thought we were going to miss out on decorating but I guess not! She had an extra tree that she let us borrow and now it is in our pad!


Things are going great here the weather is still hot and it has been raining a lot! I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here in Hawaii and to serve a mission! I love all of you and hope you have a great holiday season and hope to hear from you soon!

Love
