Later that night we had another lesson with Jill. We talked about Christ, Heavenly Father, how the gospel can bless our lives, and a little about prophets and we tied it into the Book of Mormon. We invited her to read a scripture about prayer with her daughter before bed and for them to pray together. It went really well.
Then we hurried over to the chapel so we could exchange. Sister Soga and I stayed with Sister Niualiku. Sister Sakai went to Aliamanu/Pearl Harbor Hickam with Sister Thurgood.
Wednesday morning we were able to play ultimate frisbee which is always fun!
We also had another lesson with Richard and he was able to watch 3 conference talks. He watched the first 3 and he got a lot of church business but he liked the talk about doing hard things.
We also met with Abby. She just started high school and is super sweet and bubbly. She has seen a huge improvement in her life since she met the missionaries a few weeks ago and learned more about God. She is awesome! She had a huge band competition and said she would bring her Book of Mormon so she could read it in her down time!
That night we went to visit someone we found the week before but he was sleeping. We were able to talk to his step son Kaya though. He is 20 and super nice. He said that he recently thought about coming back to church since its been a while so that was great. We gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read. He said he would come to church on Sunday but he wasn't able to make it...maybe next week.
Saturday we had a fun relief society Super Saturday with crafts for Christmas. They had cute quite boards that we were able to make, they sewed goodie bags to put waffle mix in to give out, they make silicone bead binki holders, they demonstrated how to used Instant pots, and were sewing blankets for elderly I think. I love crafts so I had a great time. We had some Less-active members there which was wonderful and it was great to interact more with the members! The soup they made in the instant pot was delicious too (I had broccoli cheddar)
We had to rush over to the park where we met Cicero last week after the activity. He was very patient with us. We sang how great thou art and he taught Sister Soga the chords. We had a good discussion but he sadly only skimmed the Book of Mormon and most of his questions weren't about it. He is very passionate when he speaks about religion. After our discussion we invited him to read certain parts of the Book of Mormon and pray about it. He accepted. He also took us to lunch which was super sweet!
We had a potluck at the McMillan's that night because a member named Shyla is leaving for her mission...she is going to the Philippines so that was great food and we were able to sit down this time. We also were able to talk to a lot of people which was great.
Sunday after church we had a great lesson with the guy we met in our building. His name is Lonnie. He is in the military. He is on his path back to worshipping recently and is so open to our message. At the end of the lesson he promised us that he would read the Book of Mormon and pray about it for sure!
Today we were able to go to Sister McMillian's house because she helped me make a dress...she is the best!
That's about it!
Aloha,
Sister Heath
