What up family. GUess what. in tminus 6 days i gets to call home. YEah Buddy! I hope youre all super stoked cause i am. Christmas does not feel like it was that long ago. it feels like i called home like 2 months ago. Ok so today for pday we woke up at 4 in the am. i don't care who you are, waking up early....especially at 4 does not and will not get easier. But we went to this place called spitting cave to see the sun rise. It was pretty cool. the sunrise was beautiful the ocean was beautiful, the cave was spitting, and i saw me some sea turtles and a whale. Crazy right. I love Hawaii!!!!! So we had our baptisms on Saturday. they were so cool. we only had 3 though but the other 2 are scheduled for this week. It was probably the coolest Baptism I've ever seen. The two sons that are members baptized the mom and the little daughter. in the picture its the little girl, the lady in the green dress  and also the kid standing next to me got baptized. It was money. So i think i may or may not have broke my ankle. Haha hopefully its just a bad sprain but i get to go to the doctor and get xrayed. Dont worry mom im ok. but yeah it was such a solid week. i cant wait until sunday. im gonna call home at around 7pm utah time so be there or be square. ok since  i woke up at 4 im gonna take advantage of my pday and take me a nap but love the gospel, love my mission, love Hawaii and love all of you. Ofa Atu and ALOHA!!!!!

ALoHas everyone. it was awesome talking to the best family in the world yesterday and to my awesome mama! It sounds like everyone is doing great. ok so your not getting a very big email today cause i don't have very much time, but this week was pretty good. we had a wonderful Baptism for this lady name Sheila. She's way cool. She'd been taught by missionaries for a long time in Arkansas but didn''t get baptized there because of family problems. But she moved here and we ran into her one day in the elevator and started teaching her the next day. She's awesome. We have Mission Tour on Wednesday so that should be awesome. I hear that they are great. Elder Larry Wilson from the 70 is coming to speak to us. so im pretty stoked for that. i'll let you know how that goes next week. ok i told i was short on time but i love all of you and miss you tons. keep on keepin on. Ofa Atu and Aloha!!!

Aloha Family! how was everyones week. good i hope. well this week wasn't really to eventful so i don't have much to say. we did get a new investigator this week. Her name is Elia and turns out she just moved here from Marshelle islands and all her family is members of the church except for her. we went there to teach here and asked her a few questions about the Gospel. Holy Cow that woman knows pretty much everything. So she came to church with us yesterday which was awesome and she used to go every week back in Marshelle Islands. She's ready for baptism. Her date is for june 2. Um thats about it for this week though. Oh wait, so yesterday when  we were at dinner my companion was talking about his family back home ant there pets and out of know where he started talking about his little brothers pet Vampire Bat.......... i was just as confused as all of you. But i guess its kinda normal to have one of those for a pet. I just probably get me when when i get home. No need a cat when you can have a vampire bat right. haha i'll send a picture of his brother and his bat when his mom emails it to him. ok well i think thats alls i got for this week. Keep doin your thang. i miss all you guys! Ofa Atu and Aloha!

ALOHA!!!!!

So this week was an awesome week! So for the month of may our zone had a goal to hit 20 baptisms. We wanted to hit the high water mark. So we worked our butts off. but guess what it payed off. Yesterday we hit 23 awesome convert Baptisms!!!! Yeah Buddy! it was awesome. it was definetly the transfer that i have worked the hardest but it went by so so fast. it was all worth it though. Also we got the highest baptisms in a month that this mission has ever had! President Dalton or mission President took our zone out to Outback to eat last night. Let me just say that the bill was Huge haha! it was such a cool feeling though and to see all of the wonderful converts enter the waters of baptism was awesome. We're gonna have to work twice as hard though so we can hit it again for june. but we can do it.  I hope everyone had an awesome memorial day. We had a good time here. Transfers are tomorrow. Dont worry im not getting transfered. i actually really like it here though. i'll probably be here for one more transfer.  anyways thats about alls i got to say for this week. Hope everyone is doin great. Ofa Atu and ALOHa!
