Let go and let God -- Monday, August 30, 2021

What's up everyone! Hope yall had a great week! This might be a longer email...I apologize in advance. 🙃 If I could describe what I learned many times this week it was to let go and let God. The spirit taught me that in almost every lesson/appointment we had this week.

Honestly I've been in a weird funk and dark place for a while. I decided this week that I've had enough. I'm sick of the darkness I feel. I decided to let go and let God, and so has Sister Nihipali. So we've both been making some changes in our personal lives and as a companionship. And guess what! We're seeing progress and things are getting a little better:) 

I've always kind of struggled with trusting in God as dumb as it sounds. I like to be independent and I hate asking for help, even from God. Well I realized this week that I need help. I'm so grateful for this gospel. I'm grateful for prayer and fasting. I'm grateful for my Savior. I love him and he's been with me A LOT this week. I love Hawaii and I love being a missionary. I hit one year as a missionary this week and I can't believe it. It makes me sick to my stomach😂 But I know that this church is true. I'm grateful for the lesson that I learned this week. I felt like I needed to share it, so hopefully something that I said helped someone. But I love you all and I hope that you have a great week!!

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...
