Side Walk Art

Aloha! This is our chalk art "Plan of Salvation." We had a blast doing it one night. We finally got some chalk, and found a bus stop we knew people would be at that night. It was super fun, and Sister Apina is a great artist... with stick figures. As soon as we finished there was a bus load of people that we got to talk to :D The next morning we went back and the rain hadn't ruined it completely, so we touched it up a bit.

Other than that... Roseann and Wallace are still getting baptized next Saturday. I’m super excited for that! We’ve been working hard to get everything ready, and preparing for whatever could go wrong. The week before a baptism is always soo exciting. Soo many things can go wrong, and often do. But we're ready :D

We had our musical fireside last night. I'm soo glad it's over, honestly. It was good though. The chapel was full and the musical numbers performed by the ward members were amazing! I threw in some of the VC training and had referral cards for everyone that came in, and treated it kind of like if a member came to the VC. Throw the spirit at them, and teach them how to do missionary work! It went great... again, I'm glad it's over!

This week we get to do some service on the USS Missouri. I'm excited for that. It's right outside my front door, but I never actually get to go see it. All the missionaries, before they go home, get to go to the Arizona and the Missouri. Yay for seeing it early!

We taught a great lesson with a new investigator at Hickam. She's friends with a member of the ward, and we received a referral from the Hawaii VC for her. The VC sisters are rockin’ it up there. We have gotten 4 referrals from them in 2 weeks, for people that have come into the VC and asked to learn more! VC sisters rock.

That's all. Much love
Sister Bridge

Way too much fun!?!

Sister Aguda and I on our exchange

Light Sabers

Aug. 23, 2010
Yes, I had a killer light saber duel after stake conference yesterday.  I was soo fed-up with Sister Apina that I tried to destroy her.  OK that's a lie, but we did find 3 light sabers at the Hockett's house and we couldn't resist playing around with them.  Yes, we're having way too much fun. 

Roseann got home from vacation this week and decided that she wants to be baptized on the 4th of September! Yay! So she and two of her (step) grandchildren will be baptized together. I'm pretty darn excited. Things are going super good, and Sister Apina and I are working soo hard at being able to deserve the blessings the Lord has in store for this area.  Time has gone by soo fast, I can't believe she only has 2 more weeks here :(
 
We were looking for one of our ward members on Friday and we were having a really hard time finding the house. I thought it might have been knocked down because the lot was empty. But then we discovered a staircase to a house on the hill. Why not? So I had to go first, and it was kind of sketchy. It looked like no one had been on it in years! We lived... no worries. A board broke... but nothing too cool. That was my excitement for the day. (We found the member... a relative to someone I taught in the Kahuku Tongan Ward.)
 
We went bowling with Alanna (who was baptized in May) last Monday. It was Sister Teururu's first time bowling, and that was a show in itself....
 
Humm... I think that's all I got.
Much aloha,
Sister Bridge
