Aloha all!
Last week for P-day we went and got district pedicures which was pretty fun! One of the elders thought a pedicure was too feminine so he got a manicure!
Things went pretty well this week, we were able to meet with a less-active member and her boyfriend who is preparing to be baptized. They actually called and asked if we could come over so that was great. We are hoping we can help them get married and baptized sooner than later. They want to meet with the elders so we are hoping the elders can be more bold with them...we will see!
We were able to do service on the USS Missouri again. We swept the gunnel on the deck. It was hot and a little windy but it was good. It is always fun to be with other missionaries.
So I have an embarrassing story that I thought would never happen to me. We had a busy night going from appointment to dinner to other appointments. The last appointment was with Uncle Lawrence and my bladder was super full but I thought I would be able to hold it because I have so many times before because I drink a lot of water and always seem to make it to the bathroom. Well, our lesson was going really well and we had to explain some things in detail so it lasted a lot longer than expected but it was a really good lesson about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was dancing in my chair. Eventually it was time to go and we all stood up and I had my legs closed tightly and I couldn't move or else I knew it was going to come out. But we had to go and I knew Uncle Lawrence wouldn't go into the house because he makes sure we get to the car safely. So I tried switching my legs and that didn't help and eventually it just started coming down my legs! Luckily I had a long, dark flowy skirt on so I put it in between my legs. Uncle Lawrence started walking down the driveway and I was like thank goodness! I hope he didn't notice! Then we went home. Sorry if that was too gross but I thought I'd share. Hopefully you got a good laugh!
Thursday we had an appointment with Randy who hasn't really been progressing so we decided to get to know him again which really helped. We found out he has read the bible 6 times but hasn't read the Book of Mormon so after a good discussion he decided to start studying so we hope he has been able to do that!
We had a good lesson with Uncle Gideon who is less active. We taught him how to pray and it went really well because he has a very short attention span and he seems to be opening up more and his desires seem to be changing. He said he is going to come to church again this week! Which is super awesome because his goal at the beginning of the year was to go once a year but he has already been twice!
Although we don't have a ton of investigators, we have quite a few returning members which is just as exciting! Oh and one of the couple's that are coming back fed us dinner last week which was super good (We had Lau Lau which I haven't really had too much and that was a treat...its meat cooked in ti leaves, super good) and the husband was a previous ward mission leader so he was able to share some cool experiences and give us good advice. We are excited to have them back!
Well that's about it!
Aloha!
