Open your second stomach 🥙😋 -- April 5, 2021

Aloha!!

This week was SO busy, it was awesome. We had lots of meetings. We had Mission Confernece on Wednesday and it was the best. I know that President Walker is inspired. He was saying things at the end that I really needed to hear. He said he didn't know why he was saying those things because he didn't plan on it at all. But I needed to hear what he said. 

This was a hard week for finding. Nobody was home when we knocked on doors and nobody wanted to listen to us this week. But, it happens. Lacey FINALLY texted us back about meeting again. We're teaching them tomorrow. Please pray for Lacey and Leilynn!! 

We got transfer news on Saturday and me and Sister Larson were nervous wrecks all day. A rumor was going around that I was going to Htech (the technology missionaries in Honolulu) and I was so nervous haha. But all four of us sisters are staying!! Woo hoo! We only had two Elders leave our zone, everyone else is staying which is so cool. 

General Confernece was AWESOME this weekend!! It went by too fast. I definitely had questions answered and I learned a lot. I hope you all did too. 20 NEW TEMPLES ARE YOU KIDDING??? I started crying, that is so cool. One of my favorite talks from Confernece was Elder Renlund. He talked about unfairness. He said that Jesus understands unfairness, which he does. He said that all that is unfair in life can be made right through the atonement. Jesus Christ yearns to make everything right. I loved that so much because I'm guilty of thinking at times about how things aren't fair. This talk really hit me. I would love to hear what your favorite talk was!! 

Easter was probably one of my favorite days as a missionary. It was so special. We watched the second session as a zone. When we sang How Firm a Foundation as a zone I started crying again haha. I love being a missionary and I don't want it to ever end. We also went to a baptism for a teenager named Taylor! The Elders who taught her told us a lot about her. We fasted for her as a district a few weeks ago and she got baptized!! It was so special. She is amazing. We got fed A LOT this week. We always say we have to open our second stomachs. We had lots of dinner appointments, the members here are the best. 

I'm so grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ. I love him so much and he truly does make everything possible. I love serving as a missionary. Nothing is harder, but also more rewarding or important. I love my family and my friends. Thanks for all of the love and support!!! Have a great 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 💜💜
