Sister Kayla Bowen: It's great to be serving the Lord

This week was great as usual because as usual, it's great to be serving the Lord😊🤙

We went to haleakala today and just got back. We're going to lunch with the zone leaders and Pukalani elders in a bit which is always fun because we hardly get to see the other missionaries because we live so far away. I love our zone leaders they are phenominal and do so much for us, I strive to be a leader that can keep up with them 😉

We went to a softball game this week with 5 part member families and really impressed the coach who also happens to be the first counselor in our ward. We are making such good progress with the softball team and their families, blessings definitely come from working closely with the ward members and we become more and more grateful every week for the help the Lord provided us with in gaining the ward counsels trust.

We also went on exchanges this week and I got to stay in Lahaina with a brand new sister: Sister Choi who is from Korea and only 3 weeks out. She is doing well, we visited so many people and went to the Tongan ward relief society party which included the usual taro (potato like root that they make poi from), shrimp, faikakai (dessert made of dough and... caramel? Super good) mussles, and so much other food I can't even remember. Our ward mission Leader, Brother Hifo who is my favorite person ever, was the DJ and as overwhelmed as I think Sister Choi was we both enjoyed it.

Last night we were prompted to visit a part member/active/less active family, The Haias, and the more we visit them the more I love them. The Haias are someone we pray for so much because they are amazing and all of them deserve the blessings of the temple. We talked for an hour or two about anything and everything and I forgot to take a picture of Brother Haia with his sick VW bug. Next week 👍😊

I love my companion sister Fifita and wish I could stay with her my whole mission, she honestly makes being a missionary my favorite thing in the whole world ❤😄

I love you and pray for our family every night. Mahalo nui loa for all you do ❤
