Hey fam. I don't have too much to write about.

The Hocketts came to the Visitor Center. That was my highlight.

I've started the registration process for the U of U. Seems like I'll be in school forever. I have to go thru the process of becoming a resident of Utah because I have been out of the state for more than a year. Have to hurry this process along so I can register before Nov. 1 deadline.

The temple looks amazing. It's all lit up and pretty all the time. I'm soo excited for the rededication in November. 

I finally got Polynesian food again. I ate way too much. I love the tarrot, and the 'ufi, and sweet potato... Soo good!

I love doing the tram tours, we get to see soo many people every day. There's honestly not much to report on... I'll send pictures... when I figure it out...

We've been walking a lot. And I pulled my clarinet out to play the zone conference song. it should be interesting. It's been a year since I played... we'll see!!!

Love you lots!

New Transfer




Since we last met... Sister Hockett was baptized... it was amazing. The perfect way to end my stint in Aliamanu and Halawa.

On that note... I've been transferred back to the Visitors Center. I knew it was coming... and I'm very excited :D Just in time for the open house and re-dedication of the La'ie Hawaii Temple!!!  2 more transfers to go... as crazy as that sounds, and I'll stay here till I "die."

Things have changed a lot around here while I was gone. Now we take tours as companionships, I really like that.  I don't really know anyone, they are all new, but the sisters here are great!

My new companion is Sister Han from South Korean, and oddly enough she was the first person I met in the MTC. We went in the same day, and we’ll go home together. That's kinda funny. She's hilarious, and I'm soo excited to be her companion.

We had transfer meeting on Wednesday. I love transfer meetings because you get to see all the missionaries. My companion (sister Apina) was flying back to Big Island, and I had to wait for Sister Magno and her greenie to finish their new missionary orientation stuff. Sister Apina and I didn't have much to do...  so we were hanging out with the AP's for a while (the assistants to the president). We had to run to Walmart to grab something, and Elder Hatch let me take their truck! Soo much fun. We took the long way around Honolulu to get there. 

We've had some great guests at the VC. I love this place soo much. The spirit is always soo strong in here. It's not like you have to try extra hard to have it. It's soo much easier to teach by the spirit here also, because there are soo many things to show people, and to testify of. We have been using this big presentation called "Gods plan for His family" a lot. It's one of my favorites because it shows the plan of salvation in such a simple way, and showing how knowing this plan helps families. We always come out of it feeling the spirit and having our testimonies strengthened on the importance of eternal families :D Good stuff.

That’s about it...
Ofa Atu!!
