Mom I haven't gotten the package yet, but thankyou for telling me about all those ideas.. I cant wait to use them! Hows Abby and basketball? and Highschool!? We taught Lehi's vision to a lot of our Recent Converts this week. They LOVED it! It gave them that fire to start reading the Book of Mormon and finding more stories. I think of that one time when we acted it out at Grandma Olsens house everytime we teach it.
Well we had almost 28 lessons this week... it was super busy.. Like I said before, the spirit makes time go by so fast.... I dont know how. It just does.
This week... we had zone conference... but I got food poisening and spent the whole day out on the couch, so it wasn't very learningful for me... haha Presidents Wife is so sweet though and took great care of me... Ya mom nothings changed... I get food poisoning at the worst times still....
BUT!! We taught the Haia boys a lot to prepare them for their baptism on Saturday. They're the cutest boys in the world. They have crushes on the Aunties (me and sister mottl) haha. I love them, and I'm so happy that they're dad is letting them be baptized. Teaching them is fun, I am grateful to have lots of experience teaching kids, because Sister Mottl gets really frustrated in lessons with kids, hahaha its really funny though. I would too if I wasn't use to crazy kids... So thankyou Jantz!!:)
Wow but companion is great! We love talking about the gospel! Almost too much! Last night when we pulled in our garage, we sat in the car just talking about Jesus for almost an hour. What better man to talk about? I love that she loves being a missionary! She is also a super speedy talker, which is great for when we are tracting. She is able to say a lot of stuff, really fast, and get their attention. I just smile and nod. Ha ha and pray that they are understanding everything she is saying. Hahaha she is wonderful!! I am so blessed to have her as my companion! and she's a runner! So we go running every morning. Woo hoo!! Burning off all that Tongan food!
Ed Campbell is getting closer to baptism!! His family is amazing, for the lessons we sit in a circle in their living room and its just awesome. The spirit is so strong, I love it! The tiniest, steps they take, are the biggest thing in the world to me!!! Aw and we bought Arissa a bracelet for her baptism and she wears it everyday:) Love that girl! She is bringing her family closer together. Its so incredible to see.
This week was the church open house, and we got some new investigators from it! Me and sister mottl set up our little missionary corner. Afterwards there was a huge celebration, lots of culture dances, I wish I could send you guys videos somehow?? Just picture lots and lots of tongan and hawaiian dancing, music and food.
Me and Sister Mottl just realized its fall? Haha hows the weather over there? Pretty leaves changing colors yet? Haha- same ol same ol here. Hot hot hot Lahaina...
Melissa (our Recent Convert) topped my week of yesterday when she told me, how she was sitting in her bed last night and realized that me and siser willis were old enough to be her kids and how weird it is that we have flipped her life upside down. (I agree) So she asked how that was possible, and I just said, " it was the spirit":) Melissa grabbed my hand and looked me in the eye and just said "thankyou" It was the most sincere, and intense thankyou I have ever got. I am so grateful Heavenly Father brought us to her.
I know that this church is true. I know that without Jesus Christ this whole plan Heavenly Father made for us to return to him, and have the happiness he has, would not be possible. I am so grateful for the Atonement and all that it can help us with in life. I have become a better person each day because of it. I admire the love Heavenly Father and Jesus have not only for each other, but for every single one of their children! I love telling people that they're heavenly Father loves them:)
Family I love you all:)
Pray for Ed Kaahui, Ed Campbell, Sybil, Kelii, Manuel.
