HAPPY THANKSGIVING 🧡🦃 -- November 23, 2020

Aloooohhhhaaaaaa 🤙🏼

So last Pday Sister Israelsen got her hair cut by Elder Cueves. He is a legit barber but he's only cut one girl's hair before Sister Isralesen. I was nervous because her hair is soooo long and pretty...but he did good haha. We had a little scare and her hair was uneven for a minute but Elder Cueves killed it. 

We met with lots of people this week! We made a new friend named Jason. We read from the book of mormon with him on Tuesday night but he was kind of creepy. We brought Elders with us the next time we met him but he didn't show up. His phone number isn't working anymore either...so I'll keep you updated if that changes. 

Sylvia is doing good! We pray that she still gets baptized on Saturday. We haven't been able to teach her everything yet because she talks SO much. Just teaching her about the word of wisdom and the law of chastity took 3 hours the other day. We have this problem with everyone we teach. Hawaiians love to talk story and they will tell you about their entire lives..which Sylvia does. So that has been a challenge. 

Not much has happened other than visiting and finding. I was so excited for President Nelson's message on Friday and it was so great! I'm grateful for so much. I'm especially grateful for Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, my family, the plan of salvation, temples, my friends, President and Sister Walker, Sister Isralesen, and for the chance that I have to be serving a mission here in beautiful Hawaii. I feel so blessed and I know that everything that I have is from Heavenly Father. I can never repay him enough for all that I have. I hope that everyone has a great Thanksgiving!! I love you all and will miss being with my beautiful family this week! 💗

The rains came down, and the floods came up 🌧☔-- March 15, 2021

Aloha!! This week was kind of crazy...it was a hard week. I'm not sure if you all saw, but Hawaii had severe rainfall and floods this week on all of the Islands. It was scary. We drove a lot this week and I thought for sure we'd get into an accident a few times because of the rain. Two men even died on Maui from a landslide. Crazy stuff.  The weather made us hecka depressed so that was kind of hard. We taught Lacey and Laylynn again on Friday! Lacey asked if Laylynn can get baptized in May..of course we said yes haha. But we're a little concerned because we think that Lacey just wants to baptize her just to baptize her. Clearly we want her to be baptized and converted to the church, not just baptized just because. Laylynn does not want to be baptized either. So it's a work in progress. Honestly, not much happened this week because of the weather.  We did meet with a couple in our ward, the Brown's. They were the Mission President and wife of the Alpine, Germany miss...

We say "a hui hou" not "Aloha oe" -- February 22, 2021

Aloha!! Well, I am being transferred off Lanai...and I'm going to KAUAI!! I found out last Sunday that I would be leaving Lanai. President Walker said he woke up in the middle of the night and had a distinct impression that I needed to be somewhere else. I was not expecting that at all! I was told that I was going to be on Lanai for a while. I was actually excited to stay in Lanai because the work started progressing. But they're sending two awesome Filipino Elders over. One of the Elders coming, Elder Obando, has already served on Lanai for seven months and he's coming back ahaha. But he's awesome and the members here love him. So, we figured that I'd be going to Big Island because a ton of Sisters are leaving there..so I figured I'd go there or to Maui. But I was not expecting Kauai at all because they just put new sisters there. It's kind of interesting because there will be four of us sisters serving in the same ward. So we're kind of in a quad but m...
