Aloha Everyone:

     This week has been a very interesting and crazy week for me! So there was an Elder in my zone that was leaving this past Friday to go home cause he was done with his mission.... well when he left there was no one to replace him in his area. President Warner called and asked me to move over with Elder Gardner for the next couple of weeks until transfers on May 7th.  So I am now in the Kapolei ward... Since there were 4 Elders in my last ward they are now in a tri-companionship until transfers as well... So it has been a big change, but things are going good.  I love Elder Gardner and we get along great.  It will be very interesting to see what will happen when transfers come... I could still end up leaving or I could end up staying in this new area.... Which ever way will be great!

     Other than getting transferred it is pretty much the same.  Things are still going great here.  Today for p-day we went on a hike to Kaena Point which was the second time I have done it and it is an awesome hike!  We had lots of fun.  Well I hope everything is going great for all of you and I hope you all have a great week! I love you so much thank you for everything!  Hope to hear from you all soon!

    This week was very slow for us... Everyone that we went to see was either gone, busy or doing things with their families......We did get to do a service project for a less active lady in our ward. We went to her house at 8 Am and she feed us a huge breakfast!! Then we finally got doing the service around 9.  We took care of her whole yard for her, mowed the lawn, weeded flower beds and all that good stuff and we got it all done and she wanted to feed us again. We had other appointments to get to so we told her we had to leave... We love doing service for our members they always feed us and treat us great! 

     Today was a great day! Our zone had our temple trip and it was awesome.  We had a great session and after we went to eat as a zone... we ate at a place called 7 brothers, it is a really awesome burger place.  They have awesome food and we got to talk with other missionaries that are now serving in the Laie Zone so that was really cool!  The drive back is always the best because in the morning on the way it is still dark so you don't get to see much, but on the way back you can see all of the North Shore so it is always a fun ride home! 

    Other than that things are going great!  Loving every minute of my mission!  Thank you all for everything you all have done for me and I hope you are all having a great week and I hope you all had a great Easter! I love you guys and  hope to hear from you soon!

Aloha Everyone: 

    We had a great week!  Wednesday we went to Pearl Harbor to do service with our zone and it was awesome.  Me and a couple of the other Elders kinda got lost and ended up in a new part of the ship we had never seen before. but it was awesome! We got to see the Captains room and all of the Sargent rooms... we ended up finding the Eagles nest on accident but that was the best part!  After the service was over we ate together as a zone and found out that an Elder in our zone had to go home early.... He was in a big bike crash about 6 months ago and the doctors finally told him he needed to go home.... He was honorably released but it was sad because he didn't want to leave! 

    So something crazy happened this week.  So there are four of us in the same ward, we are on bikes and the other 2 elders have a car... well they live in a crazy part of Nanakuli and in the middle of the night their licence plate and their safety inspection sticker was cut out of their bumper!!! So now they drive around with a hole in the bumper and if a cop pulls them over they have a "get out of jail free card" that a police officer gave them, crazy and super funny!

    This past Friday our whole mission did a car fast... Where everyone in the mission parked the cars and walked for the day... Well that didn't change too much for us because we are on bikes. We went on an exchange that day as well with our zone leaders... I was able to stay in my area. We had a great exchange and while we were tracting one of the places that we have never tracted before and it was crazy because 5 houses in a row wanted us to come back and teach them.  I have never had that happen before so it was cool! 

      Our investigators are great! The Tuia's are great! We were able to watch a session of General Conference with them and they loved it.  They are still on track for Niphae's baptism on the 3rd of May.  All of the other people we are teaching are good still working hard to help them!

    Well I hope you all have a great week and I love all of you and I am so grateful for all of you in my life! Thank you so much for all that you have done for me! 

Love

Aloha everyone:

     This was a great week! Our investigators are all doing great! We are working so hard to help them progress.  Well Niphae Tuia has a baptismal date now so we are working extra hard with him to get him ready for it this time.  Other than that they are all doing good but just about the same as last week.

     Conference was awesome!  So we watched the first Saturday session at our chapel and when we got there it wasn't even set up and when they got it set up it didn't work.  We sat there for 30 minutes or longer waiting to see if they would fix it or not..... Finally they got it to work but it was in Samoan and we missed all but the last speaker.  So for the first session It was very interesting cause we had no idea what was going on.  For the second Saturday session it was working in English so it was great.  We then had a service project for one of our investigators so we missed the live time for the priesthood session but we got to watch it on the re-broadcast.  Sunday was great, Elder Young Yen has some family in our ward and they invited us to come and watch the Sunday sessions with them.  We watched the first, then they fed us a huge breakfast.  It was Samoan pancakes and they were awesome!  Then while the second session was going they were making more food for lunch.  After the session was over they had so much food for us to eat and we were still full from the first meal.  Well they made lots of Samoan food and it was awesome!! I really love the Samoan food, I think my companion is rubbing off on me.  Conference was great and I love watching it as a missionary because I feel like I get so much more from it! Ha probably because we actually stay awake!  I hope you all enjoyed watching conference.

     Things are great here I am loving it.  The weather is still about the same and yes there was a big tsunami warning but nothing even happened.  So not too much to worry about! Thank you all for everything you all do for me! I love all of you and hope all is going well.

Love,

 Elder Gale
