Aloha Everyone


     Another great week! Things are going so good here in Makawao! Elder Greene and I are finding great success! Just the other day we were walking down the road and a car pulls up next to us and it was a guy and some of his friends... they stopped us, the one that was driving said that he just moved from Big island and that his grandpa had given him a Book of Mormon. He has been reading it and was glad that he found us! We are now set up to start teaching him. We love when miracles happen like this and all of our hard work pays off! This past week in church was our ward primary program. It was really good for our investigators to see the kids participating in the program. We ended up having 7 investigators at church so that was so cool! President TakiTaki (member of our stake presidency) has a non member friend that has been living with them.  He has come to church and loves it! He asked us if he shouldn't take the sacrament until he is baptized! He is way interested in learning and is living with a great family! Our other investigators are great! We have been trying for a long time to get one of our investigators to get Sundays off so she can come but her boss would never give her Sundays off... Well he has finally allowed her to come to church and doesn't have to work Sundays anymore! The funny thing is.... He wasn't letting her have it off because he didn't believe she was going to church at all... So she finally said well if you don't believe me come with me this Sunday! He let her have it off!! 

     Today was another great pday!! One of our investigators told us about a really cool hike on Hana side to do so we thought we would try it out! The hike was a 4 mile hike and it stopped at 2 different waterfalls.... The first falls was Makahiku Fall a 185 ft waterfall... then a couple miles past that one was Waimoku falls a 400 ft waterfall. They were both really cool to see!! We ended our hike with going to the Pools of 'Ohe'o (aka Seven Sacred Pools) Too bad that there was 7 pools that we just had to look at and couldn't get in! It was still really cool to see the waterfalls and have a good hike! Pdays are always fun when we get to hike to waterfalls! 

    Well I hope you are all doing well! Thank you all for everything you have done for me! So I wanted to ask... I gave you all a challenge a couple weeks ago to think of a name and to start sharing the gospel with that person... I would like to know if anyone has had the chance to do that yet? If not the challenge is still there! I know that if you are willing to share our heavenly father will help you and you will know what to say! (D&C 100:4-6) He has done this many times for me on my mission! When I didn't know what to say he was always there to help me! He will help you to! Please let me know of your experiences of sharing the gospel! Hope you have a great week thanks again for everything!
