Mothers Day Call

We were able to have a great Skype call with Sister Kayla Bowen on Sunday May 14th for Mother's day.  

Kayla and her trainer companion Sister Iino (E-no) from Japan went to a members house and there was able to use Skype and connect with us all at home. It was great to see and hear her, we all had a great time and were uplifted and so grateful for this mission experience.  


She has been assigned to the Waipahu Ews Beach 2nd Ward in Oahu. It's about 25 miles west of Honolulu on the west side of Oahu the "dry" side. (The wind blows from the east to the west and the east side gets most of the rains.) She says it reminds her of Daybreak with palm trees on one street and then the next is rustic Hawaiian very diverse area. There is lots of cats and birds everywhere they go. 

Kayla was happy and smiling throughout the call. She is doing great and has been having a wonderful experience. She has only been Hawaii for less than a week and has not yet even had a P-Day (Preparation day). They also have a nice new car as their method transportation.

She has met several great members and has been able eat all kinds of different foods from different cultures already; Korean, Japanese and Hawaiian. She also noticed that Little Caesars is $7 for a hot-and-ready pepperoni pizza. They call it "the 40 lb mission" because of all the great food and great member support.




























Sister IIno is from Japan and never spoke English before leaving home and speaks it fluently now she has been on her mission for 13 months. Kayla says she is great missionary and trainer and it looks like they are having a great time.
