Aloha everyone

Well this was a very crazy week! The big news.... We had 2 hurricanes hit the Hawaiian islands! Everyone we going crazy preparing for them and then nothing really happened.. Guess its better to be safe then sorry. We as missionaries all got together as a zone and slept at our chapel so that was really fun. We got lots of rain and high winds but nothing else... There were lots of down trees and the roads were shut off. We worked till 6 pm on Thursday and then we didn't work at all on Friday.. Just safety precautions. 

The next thing KAWIKA GOT BAPTIZED! He was baptized this past Saturday and confirmed on Sunday. Very awesome to see how prepared he was. His baptism went great and the whole ward did a great job of coming out to fellowship him. 

So today for p-day we had a really fun time. We left our pad at 5 am and we had a whole list of places we wanted to see. We drove the road to Hana and made stops along the way,  went on hikes, look outs, and beach parks. We had a really fun time and that was most of our day. It took us from 5 am till 5 pm to get go all the way around (with making stops)! 

Most of what we saw today was just torture to us! They were all waterfall hikes and the pools were so nice! It was a very hot day so we wanted to get in everyone we saw! It ended up being a good day! We ran into some members from Salt Lake and they ended up following us around to most of the sights cause they didn't know where to go so that was fun. Their son just got done with his mission serving in Washington D.C mission. Really cool family! We ate at this Tahitian place and the owner of it is the Hana branch president! He gave our food to us for free... which was very nice of him! We were very grateful for him!

Well it has been an exciting and crazy week! Hope you all have had a good week! Thank you so much for all you do for me!

Love,
