May 13, 2019

Things have been going great in Wahiawa. We had Baptism for Austin and Ryan! They've been taught for more than a year, their parents are member's its just they didn't want them to be baptized when they are 8 because they wanted them to make the choice for themselves. It's an interesting way of going about it. The Baptism was great, It really is one of the greatest moments having someone your teaching making covenants with God. 

Rest of the week was great. Wednesday I had an exchange with Elder Clawson. It was the first time I took over my area! The exchange was great, Elder Clawson is a super cool Elder. Most of the appointments fell through that day but we did teach Lee Ann. Lee Ann is moving to North Carolina this month and decided that she wants to be baptized in North Carolina. Hopefully she will be in an area with one of you MTC sisters. She's ready to be baptized, we're just helping her until she's in North Carolina. 

Thursday we came across two teenage girls, Leila and Loha. At first they were like oh were Atheist but the more we talked they they told us they believed in God. They really enjoyed our message they asked us when the next time we could visit, which is crazy because it's usually the other way around. We've teaching this older Catholic woman named Betty Bruce. We always try to teach about the gospel but every time she tells us to watch a dude named Sid Roth, some catholic pastor. Interesting lady that wants to convert us but good luck with that. 

Nothing much happened the other days except for the Baptism Saturday. Sunday was Mother's day! Hope all the mom's had an amazing Mother's day. We went over to a member's house to eat dinner. Member invited two investigators we are teaching the plan was to baptize them on the 25th. We'll that was the plan. She walks in drinking green tea which the rule is to get baptized you have to be following the Word of Wisdom for 3 weeks to get baptized, to make things worse is the member who's fellowshipping them say's drinking green tea isn't against the Word of Wisdom. Our next lesson with them going to be interesting.

Hope everyone is doing great. All the missionaries out their, make sure your investigators have a reasonable date to be baptized and are following the commandments. I love and miss you all. Stay radical! Aloha.
