Aloha!
My pday just keeps getting closer and closer haha but i
think next week it'll probably be on wednesday :( BUT GUESS WHAT :) Sister Lee
and I get to stay together in Hau'ula
3rd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are going to be able to do so much, we just know it. And aren't going to
take it for granted to stay together in the same area. (oh fun news, sister
weygandt is training again! I'm excited to watch from the outside haha and be
grateful i'm not training ;))
This week was really great! So sad to lose sister o'brien
but she got to come to the baptism so it was all good! Kayla got baptized :D it
was so wonderful. I'll send pics. Everything seemed to work out perfect, the
Holy Ghost talk speaker didn't come lol but the elders got to pull through and
talk. The Trio, aka us, got to perform a musical number where I got to play
ukulele for the first time here haha it was cute. And the baptism was so happy.
And the confirmation was even better. She kept hugging us and thanking us. She
said if she has triplets in the future she is naming them after us ;) But
there's a chance i would be here for her temple sealing in a year
depending when i choose to go home :) AHhh!!! and She has so much faith and
just really sees the fruits of the gospel. I'm so happy for her. 
Also we got a text from this guy, Josh, and he has been
reading the book of mormon and wanted to meet with us :) So of course we went
yesterday. He is so awesome. His wife has a lot of a problems with the church
(shes less active for many years) but they are both willing to give it a
chance. And we are shooting to have the baptism for him at the end of august :)
I can see he already has been influenced by the example of the members around
him because he keeps saying how the members live it in church and OUTSIDE of
church, which is different than a lot of religions. I am so excited to help him
come closer to God and hopefully his wife will be sincere in her search for a
testimony.
We got to attend the temple and do the family names!
Hallelujiah! It was my first time ever doing family names. I loved it! I'm so
grateful to be so close to the temple all the time.
Apparently we hit a record for the number of people that
came over from the PCC tram in one day, 400! And elder swinton is always
thinking of new ideas. I guess right now we have 25 sisters, but by the end of
the year we might have 38 sisters! I don't know where they're going to stick
everyone but it's pretty amazing that we are soo busy.
Also I got to attend 2 wedding receptions for a dinner apt.
these people have such cool wedding receptions haha. And of course SO MUCH
FOOD. I'm not a huge fan of the squid luau or poi but i'm always willing to try
all these crazy things haha.
I've been loving the Book of mormon lately. The end of alma
and beginning of helaman are soo good. I feel like it's so applicable to these
last days where even members are being wicked. But it's good to always know
that if we repent, we will be prospered and forgiven.
I love ya and have a wonderful week!
xoxo Sister Nielsen
