e lelei and alooooooo-ha!
I am very happy
to report that this week was a truly wonderful week (:
Trials come, but so do the blessings. After a very rough transfer, my companion and I have made a few big changes. We have talked about how we can better work with our ward, and our ward mission leader. We've been much more in contact with our ward leaders, and truly prayed for the Lord's assistance. Diligence is a word I have come to know and love. I have seen the blessings that come from diligence. We have found many less active members we never came in contact with when we first arrived here, and helping them return to church.

We also have
weekly district floods! It's basically where all the missionaries in our
district come into our area, and tract for an hour. It covers more ground
quicker, and we are able to come in contact with more people who've been
prepared to hear the gospel.
Kelliann, our 9
year old investigator, is progressing quickly. We have taught her the plan of
salvation, and the restoration. She and her Mom are keeping all of their
commitments, and you can feel the Spirit changing in their home! Unfortunately
the Dad is still not on board with baptism, but we're praying the miracles keep
coming (:
We've had some
great lessons with our 3 recent converts, Reyhania, Keanu and Xavier. How
amazing it is, to watch these children of God progress from investigators, to
with dates, and then to recent converts! I love doing the Lord's work, and
watching how the gospel truly changes lives. What an amazing opportunity, to be
apart of the most important work :D
Today was our
preparation day, because we had TEMPLE TRIP! :D
I absolutely love
the peace and comfort I feel inside the Temple. It came at the perfect time for
my companion and I, who have had very difficult issues lately. I love the Laie
temple for many reasons, including the fact that it is the Mesa temple's
"sister" temple!
I'm sorry this
isn't longer, I promise next week will be longer and more detailed. Know that I
love you all very much, and please feel free to send me letters! I love yous!
