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! 💗

Tsunami warnings, car accidents, and six months -- March 8, 2021

Aloha!! Man this week was crazy busy! I love being busy again!! I hit my six months last week which I don't want to talk about...so crazy. I feel like I've been a missionary for a week but also five years at the same time haha. So on Tuesday we went and got some ice cream and sat by the beach which was fun. We had interviews on Wednesday with President Walker which is always a party. I also won the Kahoot that we played..no big deal.  On Thursday we had a zone flood in Lihue! Sister Larson and I made a new friend for the Lihue Elders named Ramina!  Also, we had a huge miracle this week!! We had a member named Summer who we hadn't met yet text us. She told us that her sister Lacey and her husband want to start having the missionary lessons and that they have an eight year old daughter who they want baptized...  That does not happen like ever so we were so excited!!!! We've taught them one lesson so far and it went alright. I was kind of all over the place in the lesson b...

Last one 🥲

So I guess this is my last weekly email. I get home on Thursday morning. It's very bittersweet. I'm so sad to leave Hawaii but so excited to see my family.  This last week was so good and so hard saying bye to everyone. We were able to go to the temple yesterday with some investigators and it was amazing. Man I love being a missionary and I've learned so much. 💙💙 Laie Temple 💙🌺 Kaylee is a girl we teach every Saturday:) Comp Study at Starbucks  Daughter #2 💜💜
