Aloha!

Hey y'all!

I am now companions with Sister Iona! She is Samoan and from Hawaii! She is super cool! She was actually companions with Sister Vail in the MTC! She is definitely not afraid to be herself! 

Best of all I am still in The Colony for my fourth transfer here!!!! This is truly the best area to be in so I am so blessed to stay!

It feels so good to be back into the work at full force! We have made so great goals together, we want to invite someone to be baptized every single day! Last week we had 3 of the 6 days taken the opportunity to invite someone to be baptized. No one said yes, but no one said no either! We want to testify and commit with power this transfer. We had a lot of baptisms last transfer so we are building a little this transfer, but this week we already have four new investigators with great potential, and we should get our 5th today because we have an appointment with a really good potential. 

We saw sSSSOooo many miracles! We had an investigator drop us for family reasons last transfer. He had invited a friend to one of the lessons and when he dropped us we lost track of his friend. We were five minutes early to an appointment so we knocked on one door and that one door was opened by Adam!!! The friend that we had lost track of! We believe it is because of the prayers of the ward members that we found him. Our ward mission leader has the ward pray for five things in their prayers and one of those five is that "those who are prepared for the gospel will be lead to us or we will be lead to them."

Our convert Joshua, who was just baptized two weeks ago, introduced his grandmother to the church and he is now helping us teach her the lessons! She even ordered the Book of Mormon on CD so she can listen to it while she drives. 

We are also helping a super sweethearted less active quite smoking. He has Williams Syndrome (similar to down syndrome). He is scared to quit, but we are involving some of the ward members closest to him to provide as much support as possible as we are going to try the "stop smoking program." We love Bennie so much! 

We are still working with Jason. He actually bore his testimony in church yesterday about how he knows it is true and the Book of Mormon is true. He also said he was grateful that the missionaries taught him how to pray!
