Aloha! this week we saw some real miracles. ok so first off we needed some new people to teach so we decided to go through all our former gators and see if they were ready yet. Holy cow we biked so hard and it was so hot. its been super hot lately. So we had a few positive outcomes from the whole situation. #1 we were able to find two new gators who are awesome, #2 we got 4 new dates for baptism yeah buddy. and #3 i probably lost like 7 pounds haha so yeah im lookin really good right now haha! Today we had Zone conference and we were trained on this new thing called the prayer approach. I don't have enough time to tell you about it but last week the elders in the mission that tried the pray approach as a mission we got 300 plus new investigators. Crazy right. Buts gonna require us to be super bold and super confident so we'll see how this first week goes. im pretty stoked. so NExt week i'll let you all know a little more about how it goes and the success we have. Aight i gotta go. You are all great and i love you all you guys. ALoha!!

Whats up Family. hows everything going. So Conference was awesome. There were so many good talks. and there are gonna be so many missionaries going out into the field. its gonna be great. I really like Elder Ballards talk it was really good and straight to the point. But i think my favorite was Elder Uchtdorfs i think it was Saturday morning session. He talked about Regrets that people had as they said before they passed. He said something that really stuck with me and that im gonna remember for the rest of my life he said. "Dont wait to die to know how to truly live." This life is awesome its such a blessing to be on this earth in this time. We need to be happy with whatever life throws at us. life is to short to be unhappy with yourself and with those around you. if your not happy fix that right now. we all have so much to be happy about. Im happy cause i get to be a missionary, and im in hawaii...  haha yeah im in hawaii in case anyone has forgotten. But for reals though the mission and the gosple is awesome its all about happiness and making a better life for ourselves and those around us. The gosple has changed my life for sure. So be happy people. no need be sad! Earlier this week we had transfers and i got some new callings. #1 is that im training a new missionary. His name is Elder Dorny and he's from colorado. we couldn't be more different. but there's a reason that we are together. i just need to figure out what it is. its gonna be a good learning experience for the both of use. #2 is i got called to be the district leader. im a little nervous about this one but hopefully i'll be ok. it'll be good for me. So we did something crazy this week. Elder Dorny sat out on this one so me and Elder Maughan went. So we have this way cool investigator named Rod and he is raising a couple of sheep . one of the sheeps names was ono cabob. Ono means good haha. so it was time for ono cabob to go. and we got to help him kill it and get the meet...... it was crazy. i've never done anything like that but it was a good learning experience. I'll leave out all the details but it was a good learning experience. it was good to see where my food comes from i guess. Next time were doing a pig. Im learning to live off the land out here and its super cool. Well i gots to go. i hope everyone had a good conference weekend i love all of you. Oh thanks for the ties Becky they were all Grade A! i really liked the pink and silver one! ALoha!

Well that means i'll be getting a new companion and guess what, Im training a new missionary again! haha i have mixed feelings about this but don't worry most them them are all good feelings. I heard there is another Elder Wilson coming out here so maybe we'll end up being together we'll see though. i'll send a picture next week. Im super stoked for conference. It makes me kinda miss home though cause its so close to home. I'll be looking in the crowd to see if i see anyone there. But i love watching conference on my mission. it always seems like its directed to me. Well Thats all i have time for this week, sorry its so short next week i'll have more to talk about Guarentee! Love you all and ALoha!!
