Aloha Everyone:

    Another great week. Things are going great for us in our area.... We do lots of service and have some great people that we get to meet with.  We do service for an investigator named Kimo. He is so cool and loves our help. He needs lots of help to fix up his house when he isn't working.  We do all kind of stuff for him and this week I helped him fix the pen for his wild boar.  We pick fruit for him and build things and right now we are helping him build a deck on his house.  We love going over and helping him and he is willing to listen to our message and loves it.  He basically knows the lessons inside and out, but just wants to keep hearing them to make sure he can remember.  He has a place where we share lessons with him, that he named 5.5....  he lives in between Kaneohe 5th and 6th wards so he calls himself a member of the 5.5 ward.  Ha he loves the missionaries and even named his dogs after us.  It is super awesome to help him and to share the gospel with him.  It just so happened that we were on an exchange with our AP's that day and Elder Bogner was with us... and every time Kimo meets a new missionary he asks them lots of questions and we had a fun exchange with him.

   We have some great investigators who are all doing great.  We are teaching Trinity, her mom is a member and she just hasn't been baptized....... YET!! We are also teaching another family that one of their kids isn't baptized as well.   Lots of promising investigators and lots of work to do.  We are staying very busy with everything from helping our zone to teaching our investigators.  I love our zone and the missionaries here are awesome and I am very grateful for the zone that we have! 

    Yesterday we had MLC (mission leader conference) with President and Sister Warner. All of the zone leaders and Sister Trainer Leaders of our mission get together and President gives a training and then we discuss how our mission is doing and what we can do to help the mission do better.  A really long meeting but it was good and always great to be with our President. 

     Since we were gone yesterday our pday is today... Nothing much planned just get laundry done and maybe do some shopping.  This morning our whole zone met at President and Sister Warner's house for a pancake breakfast because we hit all of our goals and so this is what President wanted to do for us.  We had a great time and an awesome breakfast!

Well I hope you all have a great week!  Thank you all so much for all you do for me and I love you all so much!

Love,

Elder Gale

Aloha Everyone,

    This has been another great week! Well the big thing that has happened is that I found out that I will be leaving..... I will miss the Makawao Ward and serving with them! Serving here has been so great and they are like my home ward! I wish I could stay longer but I guess I can't! I will be leaving Wednesday morning and flying to Oahu and I will be in Kaneohe Zone serving there. I am excited and nervous for my new area and the challenges that will come but it will be great! 

    Yesterday was pretty good and crazy! We had a break the fast potluck as a ward so that was really cool and made saying bye a lot easier! I wont have so many to talk to now.. After the break the fast we had members that wanted us to come over... they made us more food cause I'm leaving and wanted to have me over! I was able to go to 3 different families and at each house they gave us more food! Our ward is so good to the missionaries! I still have so many of the members to see before I leave so the next couple of days will be crazy!

    For p-day today we are going down town to meet up with our zone to hang out and see each other before we all leave so that will be fun... Then back to seeing members! 

    Well so far our week is going to be pretty crazy but it will all work out... I hope you all have a great week and I will be looking forward to hearing from you all Thank you so much for everything!

              I will miss the Makawao Ward!   

Aloha everyone!!!

     This week has been an exciting one! This Thursday we were able to watch the new meet the Mormons movie as a zone!!! The first presidency gave it to all the mission presidents and so missionaries got to watch it!! It was really awesome and it will help the world to see our church for what it really is!! Then on Friday our mission president came to meet with our whole zone for interviews....... It is always great to see and hear from them!!! 

    

    Saturday was the first sessions of General conference and we were so excited to watch. We had some members who asked us to come over and watch it with them.... Well we waited for them to tell us what time to come over and called and text them and they had forgotten about us coming over... They never remembered that they wanted us over which was a good thing cause we didn't want to make them feel bad...So by the time we figured this all out it was too late to make it to our stake center to watch it... So as for now we still haven't watched the Saturday sessions..... we will eventually.

     Sunday we went to our ward mission leaders house to watch conference and it was great!! We watched the first session and then ate choke food and then while we were waiting for the next session to start our ward mission leader pulled out his guitars and uke and we had a good jam session!! Then we watched the second session with them as well!! My favorite talk from Sunday was Allen F. Packers talk about taking the cover off of the hatchet before we use it!! I thought that was a really funny story and it can teach us a lot in our life. This is one way I could apply it to our life. If we take our self (the cover) off and use the hatchet (the spirit) our Heavenly Father can help us accomplish the things that we need to get done (cutting the logs). I am sure there are many different ways. I loved watching conference and I am looking forward to being able to watch the Saturday sessions. 

    So today for pday...... Was our zone pday! We went on a hike up in Makawao forest to some lava tubes!! It was really cool!! The lava tubes were up on the side of a hill and you can climb through them!! We had fun exploring them!! Then we came back to Makawao and got food and met at a part to play sports. We played tennis! Super fun and Elder Vitaki and I were able to play with 2 random people at the park and we almost beat them!! Ha Then to top our pday off we came to our chapel and we have a huge hill in the front and we made a slip-n-slide!! It was so much fun!! We had a great pday!

     Well I hope you all had a great week! I love you all and hope for the best! Please remember the challenge that I gave to you all to share the gospel with a friend! Looking forward to hearing from you! Thank you again for all you have done for me have a great week!

Cupcakes we made for the members......(120 of them)

Lava tubes

President Warner gave us permission to slip-n-slide

It was tons of fun
