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 because their kids were super loud and I got stressed ahahaha. And we wanted it to go well. They do Come Follow Me with Summer and her family every week which is awesome! Their daughter Leilynn doesn't want to be baptized, but her parents want her to be. We hope to baptize all three of them haha.

We had a tsunami warning on Thursday from that huge earthquake by New Zealand. The Uhl's came over and told us to pack a bag just in case we needed to leave. Their two little girls, Ellie and Jos, were super scared so it kind of freaked us out too. The warning only lasted for a few hours and then they canceled it which was a relief.

On Saturday we were driving to our car wash and we got rear-ended...so that was fun. It was raining super hard and the driver who hit us said that his boots were wet and he hit the gas instead of the breaks. He was really nice and he felt bad. But dealing with car accidents as a missionary is a pain because there's so much we have to do and fill out. Nobody got hurt but I definitely got some whiplash and had a headache for a while.

We made four new friends this week which was awesome! We also had a lesson with a man named Albert who the previous sisters taught. He's cool, but we're not sure if he's super interested or not.

I feel super blessed to be a missionary! I love it so much and can't wait for the rest of my mission. I love my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ and know that they love you all too!! Have a great week!
