This week was a typical week comprising of accidental missile threats, flying to Oahu, Facebook, and Youth Conference.

Malo e lelei!

​The morning we got the missile warning we found out that many people had broken down because they thought this was the end but I realize more than ever that the knowledge we have of the Gospel and what happens after we die can bring so much hope to others. It really motivated me to work harder and is a fantastic conversation starter ;) 

This week we also had a Missionary Leadership Counsel in Oahu so me and my companion and the zone leaders flew in the morning to Oahu, got to counsel and work with the other mission leaders and our Mission President then fly back to Maui in the evening. It was a lot of fun and I am very excited for the 2018 year I get to spend as a missionary. Thank you to all who support me and email me it means so much to hear from you :)

Lastly, this last Sunday we got the opportunity to hold a "MTC Class" with the youth from our stake. The missionaries got with a "District" (Ours had been called to Argentina ;)) and teach them how to teach the Restoration. Afterwards we went actual tracting and me and my 2 missionaries were able to give away a Book of Mormon in less than 15 minutes to a lady who was genuinely interested in our message, it was a cool experience I'm glad the two I was with got to have. It was such a fun activity and fun to get to know the youth in our stake.  

And for those of you who have not received a Facebook friend request from me, go follow me on Facebook! It's such a blessing to get to use social media as a way to share the gospel :)

Have a wonderful week and remember this church is true! I promise.
