BYE BYE Honolulu



Well Transfer news came and I’m going to KAUAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol jk.......  Kaneohe here I come! It’s always an interesting time transferring here in Hawaii. It is moving into a whole new culture. It is different ethnicity of people, different languages, different climates and its nothing like where you come from. Just one of the many reasons Hawaii is the best mission! So my Family told me that its getting below freezing at night and Idaho Falls is getting snow already.. Well not here in Hawaii it’s hot and humid as always! I’m looking forward to the few degrees cooler in Kaneohe from here. 
This week was interviews and Zone Conference. It’s always a good time to be with President and Sister Bekker. It’s always cool to see past companions and mission friends! I conducted the Zone Conference with 4 zones that came together and looking out into a group of like 85 Missionaries that’s pulling faces and teasing you is quite comical Lol! I made it through with out laughing haha! 
So we have been participating in the Mission Prep Classes for the stake! It has been so cool to watch them all progress and improve from what has being taught to them. They are able to come back and share experiences throughout the week and it’s amazing how ready and prepared they already are! They are going to make amazing missionaries!  
We saw this week that as we follow promptings no matter how "dumb" they seem miracles happen and we are blessed.. I stopped a while after seeing this guy across the street and after being prompted to go back. We turned around and went all the way back. We got shut down right away by the guy sitting there at the bus stop. So we started walking away and there was another man we talked to that was so energetic and excited to learn. He was sooo happy to have a Book of Mormon and to read from it. I learned when were prompted to go to talk to someone that doesn't mean it’s that person that’s ready. That just may put you in the spot to meet the person you are being directed to. No matter how weird or how doubtful you are... when the spirit speaks... JUST DO IT!!
After being in the city for the past 3 transfers I’m excited to go to more of the country side! Super green and lots of hikes for future p days! It’ll also be fun because I haven’t met like any of the missionaries in that zone so I’ll be able to meet a lot of new friends! Such an exciting time! I hope you all have a wonderful week and enjoy whatever comes your way! Don’t forget to SMILE!
