Kawehi Got Baptized

I felt so strongly that I was leaving the area but nope, I am staying in Hauula 2nd ward! I have grown so close to some of the members of this ward and I am so excited to be with them for another 6 weeks:)


Kawehi got baptized this week! It was such a beautiful baptism and he was soo happy afterwards:) so many of his family members and ward members came to support him. When we were talking to him on Sunday after church he was holding his membership certificate and he was telling us that he was excited to take it home and frame it. We have gone over to his house a couple times since the baptism and everytime I talk to him he is just smiling soo big! People always talk about members having this glow to them and I honestly have never noticed it. Maybe it's because I have grown up in such a member populated area idk but when I see Kawehi he is radiating the light of christ and is shining so bright! I feel so blessed that God gave me this opportunity to help Kawehi grow his testimony and that I get to continue to help him on the covenant path.


I have been sick all week with a cold + allergies:/ but it's alright cause Kawehi got baptized


In our studies we had with Kawehi yesterday we read 2 Nephi 4 and the verse I will share with you today is verse 34:


"O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever." 


I don't know why we go through some of the trails we go through in our life but I do know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and I know that this is Jesus Christ restored gospel so I will continue following Jesus Christ because I trust him and I know he has a plan for me and he has a plan for you:)

First Week Of The Last Transfer

Image
This is the first week of my last transfer. I can't believe it! Where did the time go? Sister Drury and I are staying together as Visitors Center Trainers and I could not be more excited. It's going to be a great last 6 weeks. Highs/Lows of the week: ☆We had our first lesson with Kennedy this week and it went so so well. She is such a faithful person. Her boyfriend, who is a member, was telling us that she is always encouraging him to go to church. Kennedy was so cute and took notes throughout the whole lesson so she wouldn't forget anything ☆There was THE BIGGEST SPIDER I have ever seen at the Visitors Center. I am sure it could have eaten me if it was hungry enough. One of the senior Elders was so brave and killed it for us. He is a true life saver ☆We got a shipment in of the Book of Mormon in Navajo. 1st edition! I remember when I was about 9 months into my mission talking to a man who was helping them translate it while he was serving his mission. At that point they we...

Yummiest Taco Soup Ever!

Highs/Lows from the week: ☆I had interviews with President Bassett yesterday and it was great ☆we saw a spider tie up a fly then kill it. Kinda cool but it was inside our house so then we vacuumed them both up. RIP the fly ☆lots of exchanges ☆One of our members girlfriend wants to take the lessons so we are excited to start teaching her ☆everytime we cook we get a million flies in our house. I think there might be a hole in the window screen. ☆we gave a tour to a lady named Elizabeth at the visitors center and at the end of the tour she says "so is there a place I can go to learn more?" Why yes Elizabeth, there is a place you can go to learn more.:) She wasn't interested in staying in contact with us but we gave her a copy of the Book of Mormon and showed her the church's website. She was so interested in learning more! ☆my cousins had me and my companion over for dinner and they made the YUMMIEST taco soup. On Facebook I have been posting a series about different Chr...
