Aloha Everyone!

   

     This has been another great week. We had our combined zone meeting where our zone got together on Tuesday for district meeting and that was way fun and good to have all of our zone together.  On Wednesday we had Pearl Harbor Service. It was awesome this time!  Elder Gardner and I got asked to help re-wire part of the ship, so we spent most of our time with the electrician. We pulled new wire for internet because the ship has so many old wires and most of them aren't even working.  They just don't know which ones to take out and which ones to leave.  We had a lot of fun doing that and it was just like I was back home.  After we were done the electrician told us that we could look around for a bit and then find the rest of our group so for the past 5 or 6 times I have been trying to find the Eagles nest on the ship and each time I got close but didn't get to it.... Well this time we found the stairs that go right up to it.  It was way cool to be at the very top of the ship looking down!

      Our investigators are ok.... We are having some big struggles with one of them. But we know they can work through their problems and make things work. We have some new people that we have just started to teach and they are awesome.  Caleb and his family are open to having us share lessons and he always loves to talk sports with us.  Yesterday he texted our phone when game 2 of the NBA championship series was over and told us the score. but I'm not sure if he is supposed to do that.  We are having good success with some of the investigators and then the others are struggling, but we know that they can still progress.

     It was our Stake Conference yesterday and it was a really good meeting... Our mission president and his wife spoke along with the temple president and his wife.  They were all very good speakers.  Half way through the conference we had to go fill the baptismal font for a baptism.  We have been working with a less active family to get their 8 year old son baptized and yesterday was his baptism.  Right after Conference we held his baptism it was way cool because they asked if Elder Gardner would baptize him and if I would confirm him. It was a great experience to see how happy the family was.

  

    Well I hope everything is going great back home for you all.  I love and miss all of you and hope you are doing good.  I hope to hear from you all soon and thank you so much for everything!
