Sickness, Sacrament, and Santa

Crazy week of the first transfer! Elder Eborn is my new companion and he’s awesome! Super excited to see how things go this transfer! Our Zone got plagued with sickness. A few missionaries got super sick, a sister that had emergency surgery due to Appendicitis. Elder Eborn and I have managed to stay healthy and just going around giving blessings.  

What an exciting week we had at Church! We have been working with the Yokotake family and everyone else that lives there. They ALL came to church! We had an entire row just for them it was awesome such a special day!! They loved it and plan to come every week and work towards baptism!!

Our ward had our Christmas Party, our Santa was the most Agile Santa I have ever seen, he was dancing and doing toe touches! I wish the video wasn’t too long to send! It’s sooo funny! Everyone had such a great time!! Hawaiian Santa’s are great!

The work is moving wonderful, the Area is beautiful as always, the food is amazing, just too much sometimes, the memories are unforgettable, and the experiences are priceless. I know that this is God’s work, the gospel of Jesus Christ is the way to light the world. It is the way to return to live with our Heavenly Father again and joined in our family units. It is a marvelous plan and all it takes is to do our best to learn and live. I hope you all have a wonderful week and don’t forget to smile!!!
