Tuesday nothing really happened just knocked on a few doors and had a good lesson with Sabura a solid investigator. She's flying through the lesson's trying to learn everything. Wednesday we cleaned out the members nasty car again. The same car as last week. This time we finished cleaning his car, now he's trying to sell it. Anyone in Hawaii don't buy an older Corolla, the smell alone will kill you.
We've been teaching this investigator the senior missionaries next to us found. She's planning on moving to North Carolina this May. We invited her to pray and ask if she should get baptized in Hawaii or North Carolina. She called the senior missionaries the day after she said she's probably going to get baptized here in Hawaii!!! Sorry MTC district sister's we love you but she's ours.
Thursday was good. We taught a investigator named Kalani when the missionaries first found him he was this stoner teenage kid they shared a short message about the Book of Mormon. To the missionaries surprise he said he would read it. Kalani was one of those kids and after teaching him he said he wants to stop smoking but his friends keep tempting him. We are trying really hard to find a fellowshipper for him that will be his friends and help him make right choices.
Saturday was amazing we had Jay an investigator we've been teaching for a few months get baptized! If your friends with me on Facebook you've probably seen the pictures. The spirit was so strong during the baptism. His wife told us the next day that while driving home Jay kept on missing turns he kept on say that he felt so happy and peaceful he didn't care he missed the turns. It was good Jay was happy because I'm pretty sure his wife wasn't as happy (missing all those turns).
Waialua invited us to their baptism so just before we left we stopped at a 7 eleven and got bible bashed by some stranger that walked up to us. To top it off he gave us like a small comic book about some missionaries getting told their church is wrong so that was fun. We went to Waialua baptism and it was a 180 from Jay's baptism. I felt bad cause 3/4 of the people their were the missionaries in our zone and a few of her friends. During the baptism when the missionaries were giving talks she kept on making comments the whole time and the rest of us were trying so hard not to laugh from her comments. Sunday was awesome as well. For people that don't know, after you baptize a convert you don't confirm them after they've been baptized, you confirm on the next day. We confirmed Jay a member right and as we finished Jay was almost in tears. You could tell that he really felt the Holy Ghost.
During our finding time we talked to this catholic family and had a great conversation with them. What stood out to me the most is when I bore my testimony about the Book of Mormon, I've said this same testimony a lot but what touched me is he said that he could tell that what I said was from my heart. It taught me a lesson, it doesn't matter if you say same thing to everybody as long as it's true and from the heart. People will feel it and the spirit will make it known unto them. That was it for this week. I swear my mass emails are getting longer and longer. Hope everybody is doing great at home or on their mission. I love and miss you all.
