No woman, no cry 🇯🇲 -- Monday, June 7, 2021

Aloha! I guess all of my titles are going to be Bob Marley songs now.🤣 This week was interesting! We were SO busy on Tuesday! We had interviews/training with President and Sister Walker which is always a party. During interviews we got a text from Matthew asking us to meet because he had a hard day. We listened to "A Summer with Great-Aunt Rose" by (at the time) President Uchtdorf. It was exactly what Matthew needed and me as well. The last few weeks have been hard and this talk helped remind me that life/missionary work is supposed to be joyful! 

Wednesday was my half way mark as a missionary. 😳 Don't like that at all. We had our weekly service and meetings and it was a great day! We met with Matthew again on Thursday and we talked about baptism...he said he knows the church is true and he wants to be baptized but he's mentally not ready. It's kind of frustrating. 🤣 He told us he plans on being baptized within the next two years...🤙🏼

We taught Kawai on Friday and her baptism is on Saturday!! Woo hoo! I'm speaking and I'm so excited! We are going to have it on zoom so if anyone is interested in watching, I can get you the link! 

We're teaching a lady named Beverly but we haven't been in contact with her for a few weeks. She came to church on Sunday and she is not doing well...mentally, physically, spiritually, all of the above. We've had a stressful 24 hours with her. She needs professional help but she comes to us and it's hard. 

If you guys could please pray for Beverly, Kawai, and Matthew we would greatly appreciate it! Saturday was not the best day for me. We went to a beautiful house for an Institute Party and one of our nonmember friends was playing No Woman no cry by Bob Marley and it was just what I needed. 🤣 My dad played that song for me when I was sad and it still helps me hahahaha. Anyways, this week is going to be busy and awesome! Thanks for all of the love and support! I would love for yall to email me and get some updates on your lives.:)) much love and Aloha!

Some good conference talks that helped me this week:
  1. A Summer with Great-Aunt Rose by President Uchtdorf October 2015
  2. You Know Enough by Elder Andersen October 2008(shoutout to one of our sister missionaries, Sister Peay, who is in the talk)

These are my friends 


















Happy 18 months Tommy!

Probably my new favorite place in the world, Hanalei Bay

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 💜💜
