ALOHA ALL MY WONDERFUL OHANA!!!!!!

Guess what today is the last letter that i'll be writting from the mtc. yeah im pretty stoked about that. I'll be in hawaii tomorrow!!!! YEAH BUDDY!!!! any ways i've had such an amazing experience here. so just a couple of things before my time is up on here. first..... our second lesson with Judy was money. she told us that here and her husband did what we asked and they attended church on sunday. when we visited with her. there was just kinda a glow to her. she seemed so happy. she is reading the scriptures again and praying every night and morning with her husband. we taught her about the plan of salvation and everything went great. im kinda bummed that was the last time we got to teach her cause we really made a connection with her, and im sure we will with all our investigators. she told us that she would continue to read, pray and going back to church and that her main goal was that she was going to be sealed to her family in the temple.... is that awesome, i think so!

So another investigator we had his name was Junichi.. he was very very asian might i add. so the first time we taught him it was so hard cause he didn't even know about god cause he was part of the Shin Tu religion. so the first time we met we tried to teach him about god and a little bit about the restoration of the church. he wasnt interested and kept telling us all about his religion. but we did get a return appointment. so the second meeting we had we taught him more about the restoration and he seemed kinda interested so we felt like we were getting somewhere. we kept trying to get him to pray with for us but he just wouldn't. so we continued to pray. The third lesson he told us that he felt really comfortable with us and that he felt as if he could trust us.... which was a good thing. he started to be a little bit more receptive to what we were talking about but still didnt show a whole ton of interest. So on  our last visit was really when it started to get awesome.  so before we got there me and my companion were talking about how frustrated we had been with him and that he just isn't listening to anything we are saying so we said a prayer that Junichi would especially feel the spirit today and his heart would be softened. so when we got there we talked for a bit. and he asked us if we would pray. so we did and at the end of the pray he told us that he had been reading and that he prayed and he knew what we were telling him was true. and he then said i know this is our last visit but you two have been such a great example to me and im going to keep praying and reading and do all that i can to come closer to god. it was awesome and he prayed at the end of the lesson in chinese. so cool!!!

Anyways thats all the time i have today but i'lll write when i get to hawaii. oh dont send anymore packages or letters to the mtc. send them to the mission home in hawaii until i get a new address. i love all of you BYE!!!!!!!
