Week 41: Exchanges Bring Miracles! Interviews with The Walkers! Happy Mothers Day!🥳

 Aloha everyone!

Another great week! On Wednesday, me and Elder Chan went on exchanges with Elder Clarke, one of the Aps. We recently haven't had any copies of the Book of Mormon to give out to people. But Wednesday morning was when our new box came in! So we went to the first place that came to mind....BEACH PARK. So we went over and started talkin'. We some nice people but most people weren't interested. Ugh....classic. But then we went to the parking lot and met a man named Sawa. He and his family are Micronesian. We just started talking to them about the Book of Mormon and the Bible. Then he said..."Can I have a copy of the book? Come by on Sunday!" What?! So we got his information and the sister missionaries that cover Micronesian people are going to give him a Book of Mormon and teach him! 

Now I would say that's where the miracles ended... but no! We felt like we should go to Diamondhead lookout and to people there. We shared messages with six different people! One of their names was Vincent. He has worked with us missionaries at the pantry before and wanted a copy of the Book of Mormon. But we were all out at that point! We got his information and now he'll be able to see missionaries at home. 

And that was only Wednesday!

On Thursday we had our last training from Sister Walker! Our mission president, President Walker and his wife Sister Walker will be leaving soon! The training was so great and it was good to meet with President Walker. I've gotten a strong testimony that President Walker honestly receives revelation for the Hawaii Honolulu Mission. He is so loving of every single missionary and I'm not sure how he manages it. I hope to see them again soon after my mission.

On Friday Elder Chan was feeling kinda sick. He had a headache and felt kinda nauseous. We had to cancel our dinner appointment unfortunately, but then we felt like we should instead attend a baptism for the kids that I recently interviewed for baptism. It was the Quartero family. So many missionaries, family, and friends were there to support these kids and it was so special. I realized that it was the first baptisms for the two sisters who were teaching them and my first baptism as a district leader. Looking back, I'm glad Elder Chan got a headache. It gave us an opportunity to see some of God's children make their first covenants with Him.

Happy Mothers Day! Something that really threw me off on Sunday was that there were WAY more people at church on mothers day than Easter. Hmmm.. I'm not sure why. Haha. We spent the rest of the day after church visiting less active sisters and wishing then happy mothers day and had dinner with a family. I also got to call my mom at lunch today! It was a really awesome day. Miss you mom 

Welp I guess that's it! Did you think you wouldn't hear miracles this time?  Well I can promise this: there will always be miracles to those who assist God. Always keep enough faith where you do what God asks. If you do, he'll bless you.

Hope you all had a great time spoiling all the mothers out there! They deserve it!

I love you all and hoe you're all doing well!

Love, Elder Nielsen.
