Tuesday we were trying to contact a few people we are teaching. Richard told us we could come over right then so we were able to have a lesson with Richard who is doing really well. We are so excited for him.
That night we were able to have another lesson with Kaya and the Scholes came too. The spirit was really strong. We tried to resolve his concerns and help him understand the importance of the Book of Mormon since he wasn't able to read. We also shared our testimony of Christ.
Wednesday we stopped by to see an elderly lady named Millie. She is really cute and loves to make things with her embroidery and sewing machines. She only had a few minutes to talk but she was really sweet. She even gave us little holder's for a Saimin bowl when its hot.
Then we stopped by a returning member's house and she was home and very kind which I wasn't expecting for some reason. We asked to see her quilt collection because she loves to make quilts. She showed us quite a few. It was fun to see and then she fed us lunch which was nice.
That night we were able to have a get together because we have a senior couple for Halloween. We met at the chapel and had dinner and watched Coco. We were a little late because we were trying to come up with last minute costumes. My mom sent me a bunch of Heath bars so I tried to be creative with the ones I didn't pass out. It was fun.
We were able to finally teach the 15 steps to Eslynnda and Swindon to help them keep the Word of Wisdom. We had a member with us too which was great. It was good but seemed really long!
Friday we decided to walk around the neighborhood a little and stopped by someone's house. Are first I thought it was someone to teach but later found out she is a member. Her name is Sister Ebesu and she let us help her with her yard work! She also bought lunch for us which was so kind. She said we were the first missionaries to be in her house. Pretty special!
Saturday we had our last District lunch which was sweet of everyone since I'm leaving. We had ramen which was good.
Sunday I was sang to after sacrament and said my goodbyes.
After church we visited Diana and Karmalina. They are so fun to talk to and we were able to share the restoration for Karmanlina. They said they will read and come to church!
Today Sister Sakai was so funny when we were planning out our day. She wrote last with Sister Heath for everything!
I was so lucky that Sister Ahuna drove down and took us to lunch. It was so wonderful to catch up and spend time together. I'm so grateful for her!
I've loved every single bit of my mission and I am so grateful for all the love and support! I know this gospel is true with all my heart as well as the Book of Mormon. I know Heavenly Father loves us. I know that He hears and answers our prayers.
Aloha!
Sister Heath
