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!!

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 💜💜
