Aloha!! I wish I could send pictures... But I'm sitting at K-mart and can't figure this out...
We did our awesome service project at the USS Missouri this week. It was amazing. I was kind of bummed when the volunteer people handed us sanitizer bottles and told us to wipe down the hand rails. But only later did we realize that this gave us access to all parts of the ship. So we just headed as high as we could... then as low as we could. A few of us ended up going down through the engine rooms, and "cleaning" down there. I learned a lot, and actually got to do some of the cleaning for the new movie coming out that will be filmed on it. Something about aliens... or battleships... not sure. I'm so glad we got to do that, because I pass the ship every day. It’s right outside my door, but I've never been able to go. Now I can say I've seen it, and got to go where tourists don't get to venture.
Roseann, Wallace, and Nainoa were all baptized on Saturday. It was so great! We were going to have it in the Relief Society room, but all of a sudden so many people showed up that we had to move it to the chapel. Then the chapel filled up! It was so great, and I'm so excited for Roseann.
Oh... Transfer News... I'm leaving. And so is Sister Apina. That's the big news... I'm probably going back to Laie for my last 2 transfers. We’ll see.
I'm out of time... stand by...
Sorry... I ran out of time and it almost logged me off... My bad... Anyways... Where was I... baptisms... being transfered.... saddness... Oh yeah, the best part of my entire amazing week: Sunday morning Brother Hockett met with the Bishop and was ordained to the office of a Priest. And Sister Hockett asked if she could be baptized Tuesday night. I can't think of a better way to end my time here in Halawa and Aliamanu... to see my favorite family take this huge step closer to the temple. I'm sad that I won't be able to see her confirmed, but I know that it's truly a blessing that I get to help with her baptism. I have never seen a family change and embrace the gospel quite like this one. They are amazing!
Well now I have to run.... Transfers on Wednesday morning!
Ofa atu... Till next time
