The Way Of Aloha 🌲 -- February 15, 2001

Aloha!!

This week was awesome! Maui was great! We were able to attend district and zone council in person which was nice too. The work really started to pick up this week with the members! We had more member lessons than normal. So we were able to get out of the pad more! One family actually just got baptized not too long ago. We went over for family home evening which was great. The mom, Daja, called us a few days after our visit and asked for two Book of Mormons!! She's been talking about our church with some friends. So we were able to bring her some Book of Mormons that she'll write her testimony in and give to them. We're super excited for them!!

We went to President Fernandez's house twice this week again...we love going there and he loves feeding us haha. But we did have MCM with him one of the days too. The members fed us A LOT this week which we are super grateful for. The members here are so awesome.

Transfers are next week already. So crazy! I know a little bit about what's going down next transfer but I'll wait to tell everyone next week because some missionaries in the mission get my emails lol.

I started reading a book called "The Way Of Aloha Lanai" by Cameron C. Taylor. The author served his mission in Hawaii in the late 1990's. He did a devotional for our mission my first week in quarantine too. He wrote a series of books about his experiences on each Island he served on. It's so funny reading his book because I can relate to everything. He talks about the pad that we live in now, the avocado tree behind the church, the members, and so much more. It's so crazy hearing him talk about the members who are still here today. He baptized Randy Fernandez who is President Fernandez's brother. We know Randy well and see him every week. It's so crazy haha. But it's a super good book and I realte to him so much which is nice.

I want to testify of my Savior Jesus Christ. I know that He died for each one of us and I know that He lives. I know that His hand is always stretched out to help us. I love him and am so grateful for Him and Heavenly Father.

I hope that everyone has a great week!! Thanks for all of the love and support! Much Aloha! 🤙🏼❣
