Baptism!

So we had a great week! We had a baptism for Narleen Ekeik her story was that she used to meet with missionaries a long time ago but for some reason she just never saw them. A couple weeks ago she was picking bread fruit at someones home and it just so happened the missionaries from Kaneohe showed up and started to talk to her! She was so excited to start to be taught again. Since she has been taught, she has had so many tragic things happen to her and her family.. she has had 4 of her family members pass away in just over a month. But she knew if she relied on the Lord, He would help her out of the wilderness she was in.  

13 And I will also be your light in the wilderness; and I will prepare the way before you, 
if it so be that ye shall keep my commandments; wherefore, inasmuch as ye shall keep my commandments ye shall be led towards the promised land; and ye shall know that it is by me that ye are led. 1 Nephi 17:13

She had so much faith going through these trials. She always told us the she prays and asks the Lord for council every day. We also promised her about eternal families, and how she can see her loved ones again. The spirit was very strong. She is going to be an awesome member of the church! Now we're working with her husband!

Also this week we set 6 people with a baptismal date. So we're very excited to be working with them and help them on their journey to baptism! But I love you guys and I'll try to send pictures as soon as possible.

Christmas

It was nice talking to you guys! Christmas is a little weird without snow huh? hahahaha  But we had a great week. We decided one night when we were street contacting that we would say a prayer and ask for a very specific person we could teach the gospel too.. So in the prayer we asked that we would find someone wearing a yellow shirt that would let us teach him! So we walked down some alleys and streets for awhile and we found someone wearing a yellow shirt! So we jumped on it and started talking to him haha! But it was crazy! He knew exactly where the church was. His boss has been inviting him to come to church and he said he has been searching for a church as well! So we invited him to come to our Christmas Sunday Sacrament Meeting! It was so cool how we acted on that little particle of faith and the Lord blessed us with someone to teach his gospel too. 

We had a awesome christmas! Lots of people had us to their homes and the fed us plenty haha! The Light the World challenge was amazing as well. Each day we would send out a mass text to all of our investigators, less actives, and anyone in the ward or zone that wanted to hear what the challenge was for the day! Almost everyone talked about amazing experiences that they had while trying to Light the World. 

I love ya'll and Mele Kalikimaka!!!
