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! 💟
