Last week Monday we met a family that hasn't been to church in a while. The husband was working on renovating the house because it's just the two of them and they want to rent it out. It's actually really big and nice. They want to rent it out to missionaries but it isn't quite done yet. There are 2 bedrooms with their own bathrooms. It was really good to talk to them too. We hope we can see them at church!
Tuesday after district council we moved from our 2 story townhouse to what they call the Twin Towers in Pearl City. It is a studio apartment on the 41st floor so a little different.
We met a referral from an Elder in Honolulu West. The lady actually recognized him as an Elder and talked to him. She has met with missionaries before but got really sick and lost contact when they transferred. She is super sweet and is part Japanese and so she has fun speaking some Japanese to brush up. We shared the Book of Mormon with her and invited her to keep reading and praying. She is really awesome!
We tried harder to talk to everyone that we saw and found quite a few people that didn't turn us away so that was great! We are excited to go back and share more with them this week!
One day we were walking around visiting people and talking to everyone and we were walking up a street and I felt like we shoukd go back but I didn't understand why because we didn't get to where we were planning to go. We were able to talk to a guy but he wasn't interested and then I decided to listen to the promptings. On the way back we saw this lady and her dog outside and started talking to her. Come to find out she is looking for her home church. She said that God has spoke to her so many times. That was really special and somehow I still hesitate to listen to the first prompting I receive...I'm still learning I guess.
This weekend was General Conference which was awesome but very tiring since it is broadcast at 6am here. And Saturday night our neighbor was knocking on the door for at least an hour.. it was really weird. But I coukd hear what I thought was security so I figured they were taking care of the situation.
I forgot to have my notes with me from conference so I will have to share what I liked next week.
That night we visited a family that came to church last week because an Elder that served here came back to visit. We met the daughter and asked to share a scripture and her friend was there too so we will be able to share more with them next week! So cool! As we were talking to them outside there was a family from the other side of the apartment complex that said hi sisters. We didn't know who it was so we went to see if we could find them. We went to the third floor and found who it was. There was a girl visiting from Utah who us a member but her auntie doesn't go to church anymore but let us in so hopefully we can go back and help them feel the spirit again.
That's about it!
Aloha,
Sister Heath
