Aloha Everyone!! 

What a week!!! Super Awesome and very good week!!

      So we have been challenging our zone to find more investigators and to hit all of our goals! We have been really struggling with that!! But this week was a great week for our zone!! Seems like we are on fire right now!! We hit all of our goals and improved so  much!! We see that our father in heaven is blessing our us and we are seeing the miracles! Our mission President has promised every zone that if they hit their goals that he will have a pancake breakfast with them!! Well our zone has hit it back to back transfers now!! The first time was easier but the second time he said we had to have a higher goal for baptisms!! It went from 1 a week to 3 a week to get the breakfast!! Well we had 3 this week!! So awesome to see our zone doing so well!!

     One of the baptisms was a really special one for me!! It was an investigator that I had previously taught in Nanakuli about 1 year ago!! His name is Erik Smith and when we were teaching him and he was so ready... He was unable to be baptized because he was living at his girlfriends house!! Well I left the area and before I left he told me "Don't worry Elder Gale! I'm getting baptized one day!!" Well he kept his promise!! He moved out to go to school and just happened to move to Kaneohe!! He has been here for a couple months and when I was transferred here he was just set with a date for baptism!! This past Saturday was his baptism and I was able to be there and to see him complete his goal that he made a year ago!! I DONT think it was a coincidence that I transferred here! I know that heavenly father knew that I would love to be there and I see how he knows what he is doing!! It was a blessing for me to see him and to witness his baptism!! 

      We had a really great week with our investigators! We had a lesson with a Trinity Chun...She is an unbaptized 11yr old child and her grandfather wants her to be taught and prepared for baptism!! Just over a year ago he was offended and quit coming to church. Well he recently has returned and he said its time for her to come too!! We are so excited for them to make it back to church and for her to have the gospel in her life!! We set a date with Trinity for Dec 6th!! She learns slower than most kids her age so we will be taking it slow so Dec 6th is a goal. If she is ready by then great if not we will push it back. But she is for sure getting baptized!!

     For p-day today we went on a hike super early in the moring to watch the sunrise as a zone! Super cool hike and had a great time!! Then we all gathered to eat breakfast together and then traveled to Kualoa Ranch... It is where lots of movies are filmed here like Jurassic Park, 50 first dates and many others! We got to go on a tour of the whole place and see where it all took place super awesome!! After we were done with that we went to the chapel and had a slip'in slide!! Ha zone p-day so we had to go all out!! Had lots of fun with the zone today! 

Well thank you all so much for everything!! I love you all and hope the best for you!! Like always remember my challenge to share the gospel with a friend!! 

Love,

Elder Gale
