aloha my friends and family. ok so the library was closed yesterday so i got a little bit of time to do it today. but im gonna share a quick story. ok so this week me and my companion  went to see a referral we got from the other missionaries. the person we've been trying to see is never home and i didn't wanna go back but i got this feeling that we probably should. so when we got there turns out she wasn't there but we ran into her cousin who was. we asked him if he had sometime for us and he allowed us to come in. when we got in we started the how to begin teaching part of our lesson and then the kid just started crying. i was very shocked and confused and i didn't know what to say. it was silent for awhile and then he told us he was going through some stuff in his life and he wasn't sure god was there. and then i got the feeling to ask him how he'd felt since we'd been teaching  him. he then said that it felt as if jesus christ had walked into the room. i was very very shocked when he said this and me and my companion started to cry. it was probably one of the most spiritual lessons ive ever had. we taught him about the atonement and committed him to baptism. it was awesome! oh his name is Eli by the way. the church is true my friends and got is very real and very aware of each and every one of us. ok well i just wanted to share that with all of you this week. oh guess who's birthday it is on monday! this guys. my first birthday out on the mish. im stoked. ok i gotta go. Ofa Atu and ALOHA!!!!

Aloha everyone. thanks for all the birthday wishes. i loved them. it's my first birthday away from home and i hit the big two zero! Yeah Buddy! well it was conference weekend and it was awesome. not gonna lie, back at home i didn't really pay much attention to conference. but now since i've been out conference was amazing. I liked how the focused on Families. Let me just say that i probably have the coolest family in the world.... just sayin. but yeah i always look forward to hearing the words of our prophet and apostles as well as other leaders in  the church. We have Two Baptisms coming up this week so im real excited for that. and we're having a wedding too! this is the second wedding/baptism i've had since i've been out and they are pretty cool. its starting to get hot here, summers creepin around the corner and ready to slap me in the face haha, but its felt like summer ever since i got here. and i cant complain about beautiful weather. Shout about to my boy tyson who got his mission call to Tempe Arizona this week. He's gonna love it over there. oh and happy birthday marcus and saba. hope you have a good one. Marcus your getting old haha! ok well i gots to go do some birthday stuff but i love all you guys and hope you have an awesome week. Ofa Atu and Aloha

April 9^th

Hey Everyone. So today was a pretty good week. First off it was Easter, I had a awesome birthday dinner with some members out here, we got 2 new investigators. 21 of April is when they are getting baptized and then we are having two weddings and three baptisms on Saturday. Its gonna be a crazy busy week. But it'll be good. We went on another cool hike today call Mariners Ridge. The view was amazing and we could see one of the other islands at the top of the hike. I hope everyone had an awesome Easter and you all thought about the atoning sacrifice that or savior did for each and every one of us. Im so grateful for the atonement in my life. and the more i study and learn about it, the more i understand the love and feel the love that he has for me. as well as all of you. Its awesome. ok sorry to cut this so short but i gotta let another missionary email. Love you all tons. Ofa Atu. Oh Anniversary Kim and Boris and Alex and Lani! Aloha!!!!!

April 23^rd

hey everyone hows it going. we had transfers and i got a new companion. he's way cool his name is Elder Fa'amausili and he's from Western Samoa. Don't worry he speaks really good english so thats good. he's cool though we get along very well. We had a pretty good week this week. were were able to find a new investigator and we have 4 people with dates. two will be baptized this saturday. Yay them! but we did have kind of a bummer this week too. ok so we were supposed to have a baptism on saturday and the Marshelles Elders taught him all the lessons. we just taught a few lessons about faith and pray. so he was gonna be baptized in our ward because he has lots of family there. so while we were waiting for the baptism to start he went outside for a bit. i went out to find him and guess what..... Home boy way smoking a cigarette. I was so shocked when i say this. and i didn't know what to do. Obviously i didn't want to baptize him because he wasn't ready and then there were other people there who were like," some people need to be baptized before they understand that they need to change." so yeah this was confusing my little black mind so i was trying to get ahold of the mission president so i could ask him what to do. he didn't answer. so we said a little pray and we decided that we better move his date back a couple weeks. thats ok though. he'll be ready. his wife didn't even know he was smoking. turns out his understanding of the word of wisdom is you stop after you're baptized. but he said he wasn't gonna smoke again. so we'll keep working and praying for  him. his name is john btw. but overall we had a pretty good week. it's been kinda rainy the last couple days but nothing too bad. ok i gotta go but i hope everything is well with everyone at home. i love hearing from you guys and thanks so much for everything you do! Oh yeah shout out to my boy drew he got is call to Boston!!!! yeah buddy. Boris and Kim you're getting a solid Elder. that kid will baptize nations. ok Ofa Atu and ALOHA!!!!!

Transfers are coming up in three days and im finally getting transfered. I'll have been in this area for 6 months and its definetly going to be bitter sweet. i've grown to love every one that i've worked with and i'll miss them all a ton. but i got another calling for this next transfer. im going to be training a new missionary again. not gonna lie i wasn't to happy at first but then i realized that im doing it for a reason. so imma step to and train this new elder. its gonna be a great experience. I hit six months at the begining of this month. crazy right. time has flown by. one you hit 6 months a lot of the missionaries burn a tie, and thats just what i did. i burned and old tie. i'll have to put some pictures up of it. but im outta time cause i gotta write mom! i love all of you and i hope everything is going great. the church is true guys. go do some missionary work. that is all. i love you and ALOHA!!!!

Hey hey hey!

hows everyone doing good i hope. guess what? its starting to get rainy over here in paradise. but its still warm so thats ok too. lets see... i dont have a whole ton to report because nothing to exciting has happend. We got a new investigator. an 18 year old girl named Mariz from the Philipines. she's definetly been prepared to hear the gosple. Were excited for her. she was a member referal. Just a little word of advice to all of you. Member Referals are usally the most solid Referals a missionary can get. so wherever you are think about those friends or family members that can use the gosple in their lives and invite them and the elders over to your house for dinner. there are people waiting to hear the gosple and alls we gots to do is invite them. so this week be thinking about who you know that you can invite to hear the gosple. i know it may be scary at first. believe me ive been there. but its such a good feeling and its definetly worth it. but i think thats all i have to report on today. i'll be sure to do something crazy this week so i have a nice juicy email next week. i hope everything is going well with everyone and i love and miss you all tons. ALOHA!!!

Well hello there everyone. So its been about two weeks since ive been able to email which is no good. im sure i had some of you worried! Mom its ok im fine no need to call the mission office. There's not really a whole ton that can happen to me in hawaii. especially because im not allowed to go to the beach :( anyways everything is going great over here. Its starting to rain again. it hasn't rained in forever so im definetly a fan! Its still mega hot though so you don't have to worry about that. Well lets see whats happened in the last couple weeks. Well we got to go to the temple and it was great. The temple over here is beautiful and i love it when we get to go there....even though its only every three months. but were lucky because some missions they may only get to go  only once. Um..... we had a baptism on saturday for a 19 year old boy named Felix Levu. He's a super solid kid and the baptism was awesome. he had lots of family there. congrats to my awesome sister kim who had her little baby boy Cutler. He's way cute too..... just sayin! Transfers just happened a couple of days ago but because im training im still in the same area as when i started. so i'll be here for one more and then more then likely i'll be transfered. Hopefully it'll be off island... i really wanna go to big island or maui but we'll see what happens! Well i think thats all i have to report for these past two weeks. I hope everything is going well with everyone back at home. I love and miss all of you tons!!!! ALOHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same old beautiful weather which im sure all of you ar jealous of hehe. i don't have a whole lot to report because i was sick for the whole week but don't worry im all better now. We did however get on of our investigators to church with us which was nice. Church was so packed yesterday becasue there was a baby blessing for two little twins. they are so cute. i forget their hawaiian names because they are super long but their armerican names are sam and charlese. they're so cute. Speaking of babies alex and lani you need to get on top of things and send me a picture of Eve ok! Yesterday we got invited to go with an investigator to kill a pig on the 21 so yeah you could say im pretty excited about that. im not really sure what to expect though. alls he said was to be prepared to catch kill and eat a pig so it should be quitethe experience. I'll be sure to take lots of pictures too! But thats pretty much alll that happened for this week... man it sucks being sick so hopefully that doesn't happen again! I miss Ofa Atu... that means i love you in Tongan... im pretty much tongan now haha!!!! Love You all
