What means the most..



Aloha Friends and Family,
I hope each one of you had a wonderful week! Mine was good and fun! It started out with a Fun time at the BYU-H game room after emailing last Monday. We went bowling, played Ping-Pong, and even Air Hockey. It was a good time! Lots of Laughs! My Name stayed in First Place for the bowlers of the week all week haha!
We got some new direction and our emailing time has got cut back and now we even have less time. So these might be rushed some times. I also apologize in advance if I don't get back to your personal emails that same week!
This week I was able to go on Exchanges with Elder Hansen my MTC companion. It was good fun being back together. I want to share an experience we had. We met with this girl named Sky, she's in her young  20's and has just come in contact with the church for the first time in her life. The second she saw us she told us of her experience that morning. She told us about how from the time she has read the Book of Mormon she has known it was true. She always felt a little guilty asking Heavenly Father if it was true because she already knew it was. Her Friend had challenged her to ask anyways and she did. She said she was sitting on the beach early this morning all by herself and she prayed to our Heavenly Father to ask for a reconfirmation. She expressed how she was filled with warmth and tears filled her eyes and she knew again it was true. The reason I share this is we should never be afraid to ask again. No matter how true you believe it to be, continue to ask. Ask you keep your witness of the Book of Mormon current your testimony will deepen. I invite each one of you who believe the Book of Mormon to be true to pray and ask again. I also invite all of you who don't know, regardless of your faith, religion, or beliefs to read and pray to know if it is true. I promise our Heavenly Father will NOT lead you astray. If it is not true then you will know... but if it is true you will know and it will change your life as it has changed mine and thousands of thousands of peoples around the world.
I am absolutely loving the mission, the people in Hawaii, and the beautiful scenery I have every day. I am loving the time I have to spend learning about and teaching about our Savior Jesus Christ. I know he lives, I know he had suffered and died that we can overcome our weaknesses and be rid of our guilt. I love each and every one of you, and because I do this is why I share this, it is so precious to me and I would love to see the blessings and joy it can bring to your family as well. I hope you all have a wonderful week and smile a lot!
