Well Well Well, Where to start? This week was crazy busy and crazy awesome! This week is going to be even more hectic. Over the past 3 weeks, things have changed so much. We went from just planning to see a bunch of people and just stopping by due to the lack of investigators, now we are scrambling to plan due to our 5 appointments a day! It’s crazy how fast things have picked up and started flying!
A week ago was Halloween and our proselytizing
is restricted but we were able to get together as a zone and have an activity,
IT WAS SO FUN! We met at our senior couple’s house and played games, had dinner,
laughed a ton, and built a great sense of unity here in our zone! It was
great!
We were able to contact a former investigator,
her name is Patti, and she is AWESOME! We met with here and had an amazing
visit, it’s one of those that you just wish and hope that every visit would be
like it! It was terrific and ended with return visits to read the Book of
Mormon together!
We randomly ran into 2 of our less
active members at like 8:40 at night, we had a short little lesson and then
they both came to church!
We were sitting in Zippy's with our
member for dinner and we said Aloha to the guy sitting next to us. We talked
for a little bit but he said he can’t hear it’s too loud because he forgot his
hearing aids... so the conversation ended. Our food came and we begin to eat
the guy comes over and sits by our member on the bench. He asks, "Are you
Protestant?" we responded "No, we are members of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day saints, the Mormons." He says "Oh good, I used
to be visited by you guys. I don’t want to be a Mormon, but will you come teach
me? I’d love to learn?" He was such a sweat old man from Spain. It’s so
cool how little miracles happen!
This week has taught me so much, one
thing I am constantly reminded of is checking how I’m progressing, and what am I
doing today to be better than I was yesterday? Well this week at church the
teacher asked a very profound question...."What can I do to prepare for my
personal interview with the Savior?" I know this life is so important; the
things we do and learn can and will change us for eternity! I love you all and
with the best week upon you. This is a new week and a fresh start to make a
difference in the world. It starts by one decision at a time. Let us SMILE and
go and do!

This is a sweet message we received from one of the wonderful members in Kaneohe, HI.
Aloha,
Our Ohana has been blessed from your son’s service. We feel so privileged to have them over for dinner and feel of the spirit they add to our home. Thank you!
My son wanted them to play Simon Says and they were kind enough to play along.
