Aloha Everyone

        This was a great week! We had our zone conference on Thursday. We were combined with Mililani zone…. Like always it was great to be with the missionaries from the other zone and to be with President and Sister Warner! Elder Dzieman and I had to do a training… We ended up training on finding new investigators. Our zone has been really struggling with finding new people to teach so we felt like that is what we needed to train on. Our training went great and at the end of our training we challenged our zone to Find One, Commit One!!! Just a little saying we came up with to motivate the zone…… We know that our zone should be finding a lot more than just one new investigator a week but we haven't been doing so well so we figured we would shoot for one per 

companionship to start it off. 

       While we were with our mission President he told us about a missionary in our mission… A Elder serving on Maui got really sick and ended up in the hospital. No one knew what was wrong with him, well after about a week in the hospital he was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He was doing his very best to stay positive but unfortunately he was sent home to be treated. Our mission will defiantly miss him and the great missionary that he is! Just reminds me how fast things can change in life and in the mission field!

        We had a very crazy night on Wednesday! We played indoor soccer with a bunch of non-members, Less-actives and investigators at the church. Well we were having a great time and just about time for us to take off and Elder Dzieman rolled his ankle. Didn't look so great! So we spent the rest of the night icing his ankle and getting ready for Zone Conference. Well we get to zone conference and he just walked normal so that no one would know that he did it… Mainly our mission President. Well no one found out so that was good!! He ended up going to the doctor on Friday and he is now on crutches!! So things will be pretty interesting for us for a while!! Not as much walking around that's for sure! Along with his ankle we both have been sick… But the good news is that we are both not sick anymore and even with both of these things we still were able to see all of the people that we needed to see! Kind of funny how that worked out. We are usually rushing to see every one and don't have too much down time. But it worked out great this week!! Saw everyone and had a little time in between for Dzieman to rest his foot! I know that our father in Heaven was watching our for us and knew how important it was that we still see everyone!! 

       Sunday was supper funny cause when we came walking in… well when i was walking in and he was crutching in everyone stopped and asked Elder Gale did you do that to him haha!! I just started replying well that is how we do companionship inventory and this time he just wouldn't listen haha!! Got some great laughs out of that one. We had so many people at church cause of a missionary farewell. We were greeting people at the door and there was not even room for us to sit anywhere. We ended up sitting with about 20 other people in the hall. That was ok we still had a great meeting! After the meeting was over we were talking with everyone and I saw my bishop from my first area at our ward!! He was there for the farewell with his family!! Small island i guess. I got to talk with him and ask how my first ward was doing. Really cool to get to see them again.

      Well I love you all so much! I hope you all have a great week! Thank you so much for all you have done for me and continue to do for me! Remember to always share the gospel with your friends! 

Love,

Elder Gale
