We had transfers last week and everything has changed for me! I am living in a new house, in a new ward, with a new companion. I also don't have a car anymore.  It's so weird because I have lived in the same house my whole mission and I have been in the same ward for the past 7½ months. Leaving my ward was the hardest thing ever! If I could have stayed in Hauula 2nd ward my whole mission I would have! They are the most amazing people ever and I am going to miss them so so much. I am now covering 2 YSA wards which is really weird. I was in YSA my first 6 weeks in the mission field but it's different this time because now I am serving on BYU-H campus. It has been such a big adjustment! Hauula 2nd ward covered about 1/3 of my mission boundaries and most the people in my area werent members so we always had lots of work to do. Now my ward consists of 3 student apartment buildings and all of them are members. I know it just takes some adjusting but right now I feel very unproduc...

This week consisted of lots of member meets which is awesome because I love the members in Hauula 2nd ward so much!  BYU-H was putting on a production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and President Bassett told all the missionaries that we could go if it worked within our schedule. Obviously we made it work in our schedule. It was so fun, and all the students did so good! When I first type in the the name of the musical it auto corrected to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamboat. After seeing the play I think both titles are pretty accurate. My friend at our online teaching center, Nickola, is amazing! She has so many questions and we have recently started studying the Book of Mormon together. Right now we have been focusing on ways to find peace in our lives through Jesus Christ. If anyone has any FIRE scripture verses or chapters in the Book of Mormon on peace they want to share with me you would really be helping a girl out. I read the Book of Mormon in...

I hit my 9 months on monday:) Crazy that it has been that long! It feels like it has only been a couple months but it also feels like it has been years since I have seen my family. Something that is super unique about the Laie Hawaii Mission is that all the Sisters that serve here get to serve together at the Visitors Center their whole mission so we all get really close. Last week they announced that they are taking 8 of the sisters and sending them to the Hawaii Honolulu Mission permanently. Everyone is so sad they are leaving but we are also very excited for them and the people they get to help. One of the Sisters leaving is Sister Ko, my companion right now:( It was Ben's and my Dad's birthdays this week so I got to call them twice which was so fun! Really nothing happened this week besides that Oh we did go bowling today and I crushed it! Marie you would be so proud of me:))  A scripture I have been loving this week is 3 Nephi 18:24 "Therefore, hold up your light that...
