Another great week,
This week we had the opportunity to do lots of service! Just about
everyday we had at least one service project to help either a member or one of
our investigators..... We love having the chance to serve and it makes our week
so much fun. We have seen so many miracles come through doing service. We have
a part member family who didn't want the missionaries to teach their unbaptized
children. So instead of pushing the gospel on them we just showed our love for
them by serving them..... We were driving by and they were getting ready to do
yard work so we stopped and helped them. After we were finished the kids asked
if we would play basketball with them..... we took time to play with them and
the parents saw that we weren't just there to baptize them and that we actually
do care about them. Because we took time to serve them and spend that time with
them it opened their hearts and they want us to teach the kids now! I know that
our heavenly father touched them and I am glad that we were able to be there
for them.
We had a great Halloween! The first part of our day was more service
and at 5pm our mission president asked us to be together as a zone. We met up
at one of the chapels and played sports and had a good time together. Being
together brought our zone closer and helped us get to know our missionaries!
Our zone is a great zone filled with awesome sisters and elders!
Well
Saturday and Sunday were a little bit different than usual.... Elder Dzieman
was sick.... So for all day Saturday we stayed inside and he rested. Come
Sunday morning he was still not feeling good so We weren't able to make it to church.
Our ward was worried about him so we kept getting calls and texts asking if we
needed anything and we even had members just stop by and bring things to us. We
love our ward and are very grateful for the support that they give to us!
I am very grateful for my chance
to be here in Hawaii and to serve the people here! We get to meet so many
awesome people! I know that our father in heaven is opening the heart of people
everywhere to hear this gospel! I want to hear any experiences that any of you
have been having? And remember my challenge to you..... Share the gospel with a
friend and I know that heavenly father will help you and bless you! Thank
you all so much for all that you have done for me!
Love,
Elder Gale
