Week of Miracles Pt 2 -- Monday, July 12, 2021

What's up everyone! This was was SO COOL!! So many blessings and miracles happened so I'm sorry I won't write about them all or you'll be reading this all day haha.

Our mission is doing a Book of Mormon challenge where we read the BOM in 65 days(the time that Joseph Smith translated it). I am LOVING it!! I love the BOM so much and I know you all know that but I've always had such a strong testimony of it. We also handed out 5 BOMs to people this week who like actually wanted them. 😂 Idk why I thought I'd be handing out so many on my mission but you really don't. 5 is the most I've handed out in a week so far!

WE PUT MATTHEW ON DATE TO BE BAPTIZED ON AUGUST 31!!! GUYS. HUGE MIRACLE!!! He told us that he wanted to be baptized but within 2 years. But we basically made him pick a date within the next three months and he said August 31! He is so ready he just needed to realize it. We're all so excited!!

Uh also Elder Renlund was at our ward yesterday! We had 7 of our friends, including a referral named Jason, come to church which was pretty awesome. Elder Renlund talked to pretty much all of our friends! Matthew met him as well. He went out of his way a few times to talk to Sister Mabbutt and I. He told us that it was awesome seeing so many nonmembers at church and that was pretty cool ngl.😂 He didn't know that there was a branch on Lanai so we talked about that too. It was pretty awesome!! I will never forget it, that's for sure!!

While we do the BOM challenge I'll share one of my favorite verses from the weeks readings soooo here is week 1:)
1 Nephi 15:24
"And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery darts of the adversary overpower them unto blindness, to lead them away to destruction."
This is one of my favorite scriptures EVER!! I do have such a strong testimony of The Book of Mormon. It's changed my life and I've seen it change others lives too. 

Anyways...sorry this is so long but this week was pretty awesome.:)) Love you guys, 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 💜💜
