This was a very busy and interesting week! So to start off transfers was this past Wednesday... Elder Hatch left but on Tuesday night we got home a little late from saying bye to members and he stayed up packing most of the night and I was helping him... Well when we finally got him packed it was around 3:30 am and he needed to be at the air port at 5:45 am!! So we weren't going to sleep but decided to anyways... Well that wasn't such a great idea!! Ha our phone hasn't been working all that great and so when the alarm went off it didn't make any sound so we slept in... Hatch missed his first flight and ended up not getting on a plane till around 12 pm!! My new companion was supposed to fly in at 9:30 am but he missed his flight as well and didn't fly in till 1 pm!! Ha so for most of the day I was stuck at the airport with no companion!! It was very different but kind of nice!!
My new comp is Elder Greene from Salt Lake City Utah... He is way cool and super funny!! We have quite a bit in common so that is nice!! So far everything is going great with us!!
So Kawika is getting BAPTIZED this Saturday!! We are way excited for him! He is so awesome and ready for this in his life!! He has been taking the missionary lessons for 3 years and told us that he has been taught every lesson 5 times!! We are way excited that we can be apart of his baptism!! He is having a really good friend that is a member baptize him and another confirm him...
Last night we went to Brother Harris's House for dinner.... and we had a pancake eating contest!! He has done this with the Elders a lot and the record for most eaten was 6 sourdough pancakes.... The pancakes were huge but very good!! So Elder Lee Chip Sao ate 6, Elder Speakman ate 2 1/2(ha only been out 2 months.. he will get better), Elder Greene and I both ate 7!!!!! Ha so yeah we broke the record!! We were so full after but then he brought out deer sausage and well I couldn't pass that up!!
Well it has been a really good week for us and Maui is still great! I am loving it here!! Thank you all so much for everything!! I hope you have a great week!!
