Week 53,54,55?: The continual Growth

Bruddah Ball and I

Aloha kākou! It's been a great week!

Last Tuesday, we had another great lesson with Dawson. We re-taught him the Restoration with greater detail and showed him a video showing Joseph Smith's first vision. He said he was a more visual learner so it helped tons. We're going to focus more on learning from the Book of Mormon more and understanding what it actually is. Kinda of like what we're doing with Gwen. He said he's excited to learn more!

Wednesday was an insane day! We tried to divide the time in the day to stop by different families. We weren't seeing a lot of people at home [since it was mid-afternoon]. But then we felt like we should try to go stop by Lee. It's been a while! We caught him and his wife Lillian outside. We ended up having an hour-long lesson with them! The spirit was really really strong! We invited them to earnestly pray about what we talked about with them.

Then later that day I got to meet a family friend who lives in Kauai. He's close friends to my parents and I last saw him when I was like 2.

I performed a Hawka at a Hawaiian talent show party called a Kanikapila. It was pretty dang awesome.

Well that's all I have time to write for this week. But just remember that I've always been constantly in a state of learning and growing no matter how well or poorly things go. It's so awesome serving here! I hope with transfers coming up I'll get to stay . But we'll see.

Love you all and have a great week!
