The one where the Disney obsession comes in handy 💫🧜‍♀️ -- January 25, 2021

Aloha and magandang hapon! 

Thank you to everyone who sent me an email of encouragement this week! I have the best friends and family in the world. I love you all and am so grateful for each and every one of you.

Nothing too crazy happened this week. We decided that we're going to eat at one of the like three restaurants here called Pele's after district/zone council on Tuesdays. It's good to get out and we want people to see us. The restaurant is really good but we paid $40. 😭 Oh man I gotta get used to that. 

We had Mission Conference on Thursday! We talked about obedience and diligence. I pick a christlike attribute to work on every transfer, and this transfer is diligence. It's so important to be 100% obedient and diligent as a missionary. Especially on Lanai, because we don't have anyone keeping us on track. We have to be diligent and do it ourselves. 

We pretty much do online proselyting all day. So what we do is we join groups on FB and talk to people. We follow groups that we are interested in. So I follow Disney groups and Harry Potter groups haha. I've been able to talk to so many people! Thanks mom for the Disney obsession because it's coming in handy here! I try to post on the group every day. We talk about our favorite Disney things which is fun. I made one new friend this week! I met him on a Christian Bible group. He's not super solid, but still! 

We were supposed to go to Maui today..but President Walker had to have surgery and isn't feeling good enough to travel. But we will hopefully go to Maui later this week! I hope so because the store here doesn't have makeup, mouth wash, face wash, nothing like that. So we need a Maui trip lol. 

I've been thinking a lot about the early Saints this week. Sister Gamil and I watched 17 Miracles yesterday and it was my first time watching it. I cried like a baby. I don't know how you can watch that movie and not know that our church is true! They sacrificed so much, including their lives, to get to Utah and to have the restored gospel on the earth. People don't just do that unless they know that what they're doing is true...just sayin. If the early Saints can sacrifice their lives for the gospel, I can sacrifice 18 months to serve. That's nothing compared to what they did. I'm so grateful for them. They give me strength!! 

I hope that everyone has a great week! I love you all! Thanks for all that you do! Keep fighting the good fight! Much love and Aloha! 💟

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...
