New comp + a trip to Oahu❗-- Monday, July 5, 2021

Hey guys! Sorry I didn't send an email last week but it was a CRAZY busy pday last week! Sister Thomas went home and Sister Larson got transferred to Makakilo on Oahu. We were running around like crazy all weekend. Imma miss Sister Thomas and Larson so much! They taught me a lot and they'll be some of my best friends forever.

I'm still here in Kalaheo thank goodness! My new comp is Sister Mabbutt!! She is SO sweet and SO knowledgeable!! I'm super excited to be with her!! We went from 18 missionaries in our zone to 10 which is crazyyyyyy. So on transfer day I was without a companion for like 3 hours.

I was with the Elders and it was so fun but so weird hahaha. I also drove by myself a few times which was also weird.

GET THIS! When I was in Htown we posted an add for free service and this lady named Anjelica asked for some help. She lived in Milillani so we passed her off to the Sisters there who was Sister Mabbutt and Sister Brown(from Htown) at the time. And they've been teaching Anjelica and are way close to her!! All because of a service ad that we posted on Facebook in January. So cool!!

We flew to Oahu on Friday for MLC and it was really good! It was a hecka long day but it was awesome. Everyone is doing great! We've almost taught Matthew all of the lessons and we still meet with him twice a week. HE BORE HIS TESTIMONY IN CHURCH YESTERDAY!! It was so cool!! I started crying cause I was just so happy hahaha. He doesn't even like to pray in lessons and he bore an awesome testimony in church in front of a ton of people! We're going to start meeting with Kawai again this week too!

We've gotten a few new referrals lately and a few of them seem pretty interested! We haven't met with any of them yet but hopefully this week! Thanks for all of the love and support! Love you all!!

The rains came down, and the floods came up 🌧☔-- March 15, 2021

Aloha!! This week was kind of crazy...it was a hard week. I'm not sure if you all saw, but Hawaii had severe rainfall and floods this week on all of the Islands. It was scary. We drove a lot this week and I thought for sure we'd get into an accident a few times because of the rain. Two men even died on Maui from a landslide. Crazy stuff. The weather made us hecka depressed so that was kind of hard. We taught Lacey and Laylynn again on Friday! Lacey asked if Laylynn can get baptized in May..of course we said yes haha. But we're a little concerned because we think that Lacey just wants to baptize her just to baptize her. Clearly we want her to be baptized and converted to the church, not just baptized just because. Laylynn does not want to be baptized either. So it's a work in progress. Honestly, not much happened this week because of the weather. We did meet with a couple in our ward, the Brown's. They were the Mission President and wife of the Alpine, Germany miss...

We say "a hui hou" not "Aloha oe" -- February 22, 2021

Aloha!! Well, I am being transferred off Lanai...and I'm going to KAUAI!! I found out last Sunday that I would be leaving Lanai. President Walker said he woke up in the middle of the night and had a distinct impression that I needed to be somewhere else. I was not expecting that at all! I was told that I was going to be on Lanai for a while. I was actually excited to stay in Lanai because the work started progressing. But they're sending two awesome Filipino Elders over. One of the Elders coming, Elder Obando, has already served on Lanai for seven months and he's coming back ahaha. But he's awesome and the members here love him. So, we figured that I'd be going to Big Island because a ton of Sisters are leaving there..so I figured I'd go there or to Maui. But I was not expecting Kauai at all because they just put new sisters there. It's kind of interesting because there will be four of us sisters serving in the same ward. So we're kind of in a quad but m...
