4th Of July

I hope everyone had am amazing 4th of July.  People don't really celebrate the 4th here in Hawaii so it wasn't that exciting but we did get to see a couple fireworks and we went to 7 brothers to get burgers to make the day feel a little more special.


I just hit 10 months this week. I feel like every email I write I am telling you what month I am at. Sorry about that. It probably sounds so repetitive. I won't bring it up again till I hit a year:)


Sister Johnson and I have a shift at the Polynesian Culture Center once a week that I'd outside in the middle of the day for 2½ hours. I love it because I get tan but my poor scalp does not because it gets so burnt every week! And it always heals just in time for it to get burnt again the next week:) If anyone knows of any good sunscreen for your scalp let me know!


My friend, Paris, who I met at our online teaching center just received a physical copy of the Book of Mormon this week from her local missionaries and the text she sent me was the most amazing thing ever! She told me how she had never felt the spirit so strong and ever since she got the Book she has not been able to put it down. I am so excited for her! She meets with her locals for the first time today so everything keep Paris in their prayers:)


My companion Sister Johnson showed me this talk today and it is seriously so amazing! I invite everyone go listen to it! It is from the October 2014 General Conference, it's titled "Approaching the Throne of God with Confidence".


Love you all,

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!

Image
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...
