Aloha!
Last week for P-day we played mini golf again to celebrate Elder Furner's birthday and it was really fun. I got the lowest score out of the 10 of us!
That night we were able to visit a family where the wife is not a member. It was a really great lesson to get to know her specially because she is from Kazakhstan. They speak Russian there which is cool. It's an Asian country with Russian influence. We are trying to help her understand more about the gospel and that Heavenly Father is real. Her husband is a return missionary and has a strong testimony and we know that she will be able to learn the truth for herself. We invited her to pray to know if Heavenly Father is real and I promised that I would do the same thing and we would report back next week to share our experiences.
I had a spiritual experience when I prayed to know if Heavenly Father is there. I don't know if I've ever asked before because I've always known that He is there. After I asked in prayer, I pondered my question and a still small voice came into my mind and said, Yes, I am here. I questioned it a little at first wondering if it was my own thought but the same message came back, Yes, I am here. What a wonderful gift we have been given to receive personal revelation so that we can know things for ourselves. I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who answers our prayers. I invite you to pray to know something this week whether it is something you want to know or might want a confirmation of. I know that if you listen and keep the faith, you will receive an answer.
On Wednesday we had a lesson with our new investigator Ashlie and we were able to have the lesson at her friend Victoria's house. We taught the restoration. It was awesome because Victoria used to be taught by the sisters but lost contact. The spirit was really strong and we are excited to teach them more.
That night we were able to have a lesson with Sai and his friend Chance they are both 8 years old. It was a little hard to keep their concentration on the lesson but we were able to teach the gospel Jesus Christ with some fun object lessons. We also got to see a cute parakeet that Chance's dad caught so that was fun!
Thursday night we got an unexpected call from the assistant to the president. We are now covering Waimanalo and Olomana Ward! One of the elders in another area had to go home for medical reasons. Less missionaries are coming to the Western Region of the United States(their going international) there weren't enough missionaries to come down to our area... so yep. A lot of areas have been combined lately so we are thinking this is going to be permanent. Because of the unexpected transfer we didn't have very much information about the area. We had a few appointments but no phone numbers so it was difficult trying to contact people. Luckily we were able to get more information on Saturday about the area.
Sunday we attended Waimanalo and Olomana ward. We had ward council for Waimanalo ward at 7am so it was a long day! Waimanalo ward is good. There are some super nice members. It is also a ward with many elderly people.
Aloha,
Sister Heath
