<b>ELDER KAKA'S LAST LETTER</b><br />
<br />
Lia Happy BIrthday girl!!I love you so much Lia!! I give you one beeg hug when I see you ok:)<br />
Kia ora you falas!! like always ay its good to hear from you falas!!!</div>
Been
a mean week. The weather is getting hot. Its 50 degrees today!!!! I
walked out of my apartment and couldnt belief ma eyes!! warming up hard!
You guys should be good when you come mum and dad!! I dont have much to
say family but that Im still seeing miracles! im happy and content with
my service as a missionary. My mission really has been the "hardest but
most rewarding" 2 years of my life.
I testify that Christ lives and that he taught us how to live. His life
was a mission uphill. I now know that there is no growth in the comfort
zone and there is no comfort in the growth zone. If we are to become as
the Savior is, our path must also be uphill. Yes it is is hard, tiring
and at times may seem unbearable but I testify that this is the only way
to peace and contentment now and in eternity.</div>

Kia ora you falas!! How you falas doin ay?? hoohoo
str8 up ay!! good to hear from you family!! thanks for your letters.Iv
loved hearing all the growth in each of you through out my time here.
Lia girl so proud of you for sticking out with your wrestling. You did
so good your first year. I’m happy that you still came out on top and
having learned so much physically and mentally. I can remember how
demanding it was in wrestling having to continue and wanting to continue
even when your body is wasted and injured. It taught me a lot about
"discipline" and I’m sure you as well, being strict with a diet,
lifting, maintaining your weight etc. and I was able to transfer that
over to my missionary work as a "disciple" of Christ having to change
and give up various different things, in this case some physically but
more spiritually. D&C 130:19 says: "And if a person gains more
knowledge and intelligence in this <span>life</span> through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the <span>advantage</span> in the world to <span>come</span>".
The lord can see the end from the beginning and knows what we need now
to prepare for later. I love how you learned something from your
experience Lia. my wrestling experience has blessed me even today. <br />
</div>
Family!! I had a good week. I will start with the highlight. I
went down to one of my old areas Janesville to give Catalino Ramirez
the baptismal interview for the "4th" time!! (Hes the guy we went and
helped him get a suite for church about 6 months ago lol) Well he passed
it, and I got to baptize him <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1141213681" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span>
night. It was such a cool experience for me. It was a miracle to have
been close enough to be able to have kept going back even after i left
the area to give him the interviews and then to see him baptized 9
months later. <br />
</div>
This is my last week family!! Its coming closer and faster.
Finishing strong here family! Im cherishing every moment to testify,
speak and act in the name of christ. It has been my most prized
possesion I would say in all my time as a missionary, Testifying of the
savior. I love him so much and I have stood by him my whole time here. I
have at times faught against him, and Iv learned that his way in the
end is the only way to have success and happiness in this life. I
learned a cool quote this week that teaches us the purpose of the
gospel, it says "the purpose of the gospel is to make bad men good, good
men better, and to change human nature". The results of following the
Savior has changed who I am. I have been blessed by his atonement. His
enabling power has pushed me beyond my natural capacity, and it is that
power alone that saves us beyond all that we can do in this life. I am
so imperfect and my mission has helped realize how much I need my
Savior. <br />
</div>
Family I love you guys and I thank you for your testimonies,
your love and prayers for me. I have been blessed so much by you. I pray
and thank my heavenly father so much for each of your individual gifts
that have blessed my life. I look forward to seeing you guys again!!
Have a good week you falas!! till the death!!<br />

Kia ora family!! Lia so proud of you girl. Your in a
battle right not yeah? in pain and pushing your body beyond its limits.
Here is where your most growth comes girl. You'll be surprised how far
you can go when you have a strong mind yah? Im so proud of you Lia, wish
I could have been there to yell for and at you lol. Ice your body up,
massage it and take some protein if possible to heal as much of it as
you can. I remember getting stingers a lot. I had to wrap my shoulders
when I wrestled. I took pain killers before i wrestled so that I could
alleviate as much of the pain as possible. Don't show any pain when you
wrestle Lia. Trick there mind yeah. Half the battle will be in the mind
cuz when your tired and have no energy, its your mind that takes the
body past its limits. Good luck this next week Lia!! <br />
</div>
Mum thanks for your little Hawaiian spill. I felt so proud to
be apart of this culture just hearing your experience and passion for
the Hawaiian people. Its a lovely culture and Iv grown to appreciate it
so much having been out here amongst so different of a culture. The
Aloha spirit is so apparent there like its night and day. So proud of
you mum, you have been so successful but also enduring and positive. I
admire that about you mum. Im bad when it comes to being positive while
enduring. Its my patience ay lol. <br />
</div>
Well family another week come and gone and time is moving
faster than ever its all a new experience trying to finish everything
off, mixed emotions. I’m ready to move on when my time and efforts are
done here, to move on to the next phase of life. I do however need to
finish my time, all of it to the last day and second serving with all of
my heart might mind and strength just like the scriptures teach. We
teach the doctrine of Christ daily as our centre piece of our missionary
work, principles that were brought back in full by the restoration of
the one original gospel as it really was and also the priesthood. Faith,
Repentance, Baptism, receiving the gift of the holy ghost and "enduring
to the end". It is like an upward spiral that never ends, a continuous
process that we repeat over and over that binds us to God only on
conditions of our enduring. I think how different the atonement would be
had Jesus given up or stopped before the end. An incomplete mission. It
would have changed everything. I am in my last days here on the mission
and really trying to live this principle and make everything count. I
have enjoyed the journey but want to finish at the top of the mountain
where I can see the view, and feel good about the hard steps it was to
get up, not at the bottom. Of course there will be more mountains to
climb. I am feeling the pressure ay lol its scary. As I once believed
and still do now "just gotta harden up" lol a good philosophy I say.<br />
</div>
Sorry to explain da life. My week was mean though! its supposed
to be -16 on Wednesday without the windchill’s haha I thought it was
supposed to be warming up too. Oh well. I went and took my drivers test
again today in another city and just barely failed lol I Was closer
though this time. Its hard driving on the roads here ay and with all the
ice and frosty windows its hard to see sometimes. All goods though Ill
just get it when I come home. Also my debit card was cancelled for some
reason. I called American savings bank and they said they were going to
send another one in the mail to our Hawaii home address so you guys keep
an eye out for that please. Mum and Dad excited to see you guys!! dont
crash on the roads ay! If its possible could you guys bring some sort of
cheap gifts for my people here, chocolate or something, whatever you
think, thank you! I love all you guys, you too grams!! keep pushing
yourselves to be better! see you guys in a bit!! Doitzen it up the guts
again this week here we go!!!<br />

</div>
Anyways you falas I had a mean week. Had the best Sunday this
week. We had heaps of investigators come to church and heaps of
less-actives, one who hadent come for the past 20 plus years. It was
such a good feeling to have so many lost sheep at church. This is the
best ward that Iv ever been in. There were members at the doors
greeting, hugging and making these people feel at home. Our bishop stood
up towards the end of the meeting and bore his testimony specifically
to these people welcoming them and promising them blessings God would
give the m for being their. I know he followed the spirit because I
know these people he was talking towards and I know their struggles and a
lot about their hardships and he said things that highlighted something
in everyone of their lives, it was so cool. One of these less-actives
we have been teaching since we came into this area. We cut his long
hair, got him cleaned up and shaven, got him a white shirt and tie, some
perfumes and just made him look good. He finally turned up yesterday
for the first time in 6 years and we couldn’t even recognize him. I felt
the spirit just looking at him and how much more presentable and happy
he looked. I realized how much worth he had and how all he needed was a
little love and it made a huge difference. The scripture In Matthew
25:40 says "...Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have <sup>a</sup><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/25.40?lang=eng#" rel="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=nt&bookUri=matt&chapterUri=25&noteID=40a" target="_blank">done</a> <span>it</span> unto one of the <sup>b</sup><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/25.40?lang=eng#" rel="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=nt&bookUri=matt&chapterUri=25&noteID=40b" target="_blank">least</a> of these my <sup>c</sup><a href="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/nt/matt/25.40?lang=eng#" rel="http://www.lds.org/scriptures/footnote?lang=eng&volumeUri=nt&bookUri=matt&chapterUri=25&noteID=40c" target="_blank">brethren</a>, ye have done <span>it</span> unto me."<br />
<br /> Im so grateful that God see's the person that I can be. Jesus
Christ treated all his followers this way. Not as they were but he
treated them and saw more their potential and who they could become.
Because of his perfect love and leadership they were able to live up to
that person that he saw in them. Kind of like Mahana in Johny Lingo ay.
She really was a beautiful women from the start but she wasnt treated
that way. She was convinced she was ugly and lived up to that standard
alone. It really bottled the people when Johnny Lingo a very wealthy man
was willing to pay 8 cows in exchange for Mahana. He treated her like
she was the most prized possession. It was then that she realized her
worth and potential. The end of the movie shows her transformation. I
saw this in Anthony, yesterday and it was one of the happiest times of
my mission. <br />
</div>
I love you family, still enduring. Its time to finish everything off strong. Thank you!<br /></div>

our african family moving foward. They were sick this week so we didnt
get to teach them. Other than that we just been doing a lot of finding.

past other missionaries in our zone all the time and give them
rides. Its just crazy with the wind. It gets you to the bones ay. Family
my time is getting close ay, excited to reunite again. Help me finish
strong. Im trying to work harder than I ever have and love more than Iv
ever loved. Its a constant battle. I am so imperfect and have a lot of
weaknesses and my mission has taught me a lot about how much labor their
is to perform in our probation here on earth. We are never just alguds
ay. We will be learning progressing and growing till the day we die. I
love you guys and am so grateful to you for sticking with me from start
to end. Im on my second wind you falas!! no more talking ay just gotta

Sweet
letters!! everyone sounds busy as heck! So cool that you guys have been
so involved in the community and doing so much service etc. How did you
like wrestling this year Lia? you probably glad its pau ya? Can grind all
the food you want after. Proud of you Lia for being such a good girl.
Keep it up.<br />
</div>
Ash bro sole 5 proms uce??? oiy shole! crazy bro all the
girls like grind you ah? crazy bro, good on you ash bro hows your body
looking bro? still lifting and gaining weight bro? Proud of you too ash,
you have grown up so much bro, you just a loveable guy bro, a tool
that’s gonna come in handy for you on your mission.<br />
</div>
Mum I got a permit ID, that should be good yea? Its got all
the same info that a regular Drivers License but it just says Permit on
it. I'm gonna schedule another drivers test and see if I can do this
again. Question, you guys got a GPS that we gonna use? cuz my one is
broken.<br />
</div>
Anyways you guys I had a good week. Its gone by way too fast.
Still working with my African family. They didnt make it to church
yesterday. Gonna keep working with them this week to get them to church.
A lot of people have a hard time coming to church in the winters
because its so cold so we gotta have some powerful lessons with them so
that their motivations gets them over that hump. Church is like the
steroid for investigators. Every time an investigator comes to church
they take huge strides in their progression towards true conversion. So
many of the commandments we ask them to live are all kept there and so
when they come they are blessed so much. I don't have much to say this
week family just plugging along. Gonna do more to get our peeps closer
to personal conversion. I love you guys and look foward to seeing you
again. Thanks for your prayers, I'm going hard for us here in Wisconsin.
These people need the gospel! Have a good week you guys, see you all
soon ah!!<br />

I had such a good week. I have been so blessed to not get sick
and to be in good health when there are so many who haven't. The work is
progressing so quickly here and I have had some amazing experiences
coupled with miracles. I feel I have been more happy now in my mission
than I ever have been. We found and taught a family of 6 this week. They
are from Africa. We were out working in the middle of a snow fall and
this family feeling sorry for us let us right in their home. Their
religion is they believe that all religions have truth and that Gods
will is to bring all these churches together. It was a miracles to teach
them the Restoration and read with them scriptures. I felt an automatic
love for them and could feel the spirit touching their open hearts. The
lord really does prepare his children to receive his word(Alma <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_189804490" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">13:24</span></span>).
It seemed that this message is what this family has been looking for
their whole lives and I felt so much peace knowing that I was out in the
right place and time to run into this family who was ready.<br />
</div>
I love my mission. I am still learning so much everyday and
trying to become a person and leader like Jesus. Its so motivating for
me to know how perfect Jesus is and though we grow so much day by day we
always have room to improve, learn and grow to become more like him. it
is a process that is continuous for the rest of our lives and I love
it. My time is coming close and the need I feel to leave my all to the
lord increases. I cant stop. Last P-day I had the opportunity to take a
nap and I couldn’t. There is no time for that. I am most happy now
because I have never felt so focused in doing the lords will than I ever
have. I am much happier now then before. Not that I wasn’t focused or
happy before but my point being that conversion will happen and
happiness will occur and increase till the day we are finally prepared
to live with our father in heaven again. I love you family. Keep moving
and improving, I look foward to seeing you all again. <br />

fulfilling again. Our investigators didnt show up to church yesterday
the mungrills but we went over to their house after and taught them a
mean lesson on the restoration and made things clear to them. We are
working our butts off even in the cold and and are seeing a lot of
progress. I feel a huge motivation to serve the lord full heart-ed every
day. I feel peace every night when I lay down regardless of the results
knowing that I did all i could with every moment I had to open my mouth
and declare the gospel. I love my Savior and cant imagine how eager he
is to help us. The very thought of his suffering always bottles me with
how much he knows our circumstances, and how understanding and patient
he is with helping us to reach our highest possible potential in this
life. Im loving my mission and most of all the guidance I have received
by the spirit. Its been my biggest blessing. I dont have much family
just plugging away and working to bring a family into the church! Have
another good week family. I am grateful for you all!<br />

Hey you falas!! hows it goin ay?? Good to hear from you
guys ay. Ash bro crack up as g!! your hair cutting bro. Im happy as for
you bro. I just finished cutting some hairs today bro. I do a crappy as
job ay lol iv gotten worse out here haha its good though. Glad to hear
you doing your thing bro. I remember back in kahuku bro I use to sell
lollie pops and fruit rollups bro haha that was a crack up. Sometimes
when I give out dvds and Book of Mormons I think about just selling them
ay haha get some moneys haha na jokes man. </div>
I had a good week family. IT was zero degrees the other day
when I went on an exchange in another area and it felt normal to me cuz
its just been so cold lately. Im "acclimated" woiya! We had 4
investigators come to church yesterday it was so cool. They were people
we just met this past week and they all showed up it was so cool. We
gave talks yesterday and taught the classes so it was cool for them to
see young people teaching compared to what they are used too. Our
members connected with them real well and so we hope to see some
continued progress with them this week. Last night we had a lesson with 3
African American guys same age as me. It was hilarious man. African American guys are some funny
people man without trying. Every time they liked something we said,
they would say something like "oh daaang bro thas tight... ye thas what
it is man" crack up as man. We had a awesome lesson with them though,
taught the restoration and it just rang in them man, it just felt right
to them. I love when that happens. They accepted baptism in a heart
beat. They are hard into making music, singing and rapping and so I told
them I would bring my guitar the next lesson. </div>
The weather has been warming up a lot lately and so we are trying to take advantage of the weather. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1657383509" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Tomorrow</span></span>
is Zone Training Meeting and so we are getting ready for that, no rest
for the wicked ay. My goal before I finish is to bring a family into the
church. Im so determined to do that.</div>
<div>
I had a cool experience this week being able to go back
into my old area on exchanges and taught an investigator that I found
long ago. We had a powerful lesson with him. His name is Catalino. He
was doing really well at one point but stopped taking the lessons
because of some bad example members in the ward that really killed his
trust. We went and taught him and I was wondering what I would say
especially being that it would be my only <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UymyhCvyGCo/UtRdG-R5exI/AAAAAAAABHQ/mmnYyYu_sac/s1600/1378841_10200676023409837_2127467843_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-UymyhCvyGCo/UtRdG-R5exI/AAAAAAAABHQ/mmnYyYu_sac/s320/1378841_10200676023409837_2127467843_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
chance to teach him ever
again. I felt to open to Mosiah 18. We got him to read some verses and I
had no clue this would happen but it was exactly what he needed to
hear. His countenance lit up and he said " I want to get baptized. I
will get baptized on Febuary 2nd" We were shocked. It must of been
something or some question he needed answered and it was. The Book of
Mormon is a powerful book and iv seen it change people over and over
again. In Lehis dream the rod of iron was the only thing that linked the
people from wherever they were on the path, to the tree of life. with
out that rod the people would have all fallen away and perished. Today
with the world around us iv seen such a great need for the Book of
Mormon. Without it we would have no chance. I love the council of our
leaders in the talk "Safety for the soul"<br />
<br />
"The Savior warned that in the last days even those of the covenant, the very elect, could be deceived by the enemy of truth.<br />
<br />
Brothers and sisters, God always provides safety for the soul, and with
the Book of Mormon, He has again done that in our time. Remember this
declaration by Jesus Himself: “Whoso treasureth up my word, shall not be
deceived”<sup> </sup>and in the last days neither your heart nor your faith will fail you."</div>
<div>
I
have seen the blessings of strength the Book of Mormon brings to those
who treasureth it up mostly in my own life. Love you family! Thank you
for your letters and for your prayers. I have been blessed by them. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Iv had a crazy start to my transfer so far!! its been crazy
cuz the day I got here my GPS broke and so we've been lost as heck haha been
feeling the way I did when I first started my mission lol humbling ay. It’s
been storming hard snow and ice these past couple days and so church was
cancelled yesterday. Me and my comp had sacrament in our apartment, lol it was
pretty crack up! The roads are crazy right now with black ice and wot not and
so we been taking it easy out there. We were using massive maps this week to
get around, it was so ugly. I have a crazy story to tell you though. So 2 days
ago me and my comp drove out to get all the Christmas packages from the mission
office to our zone. One of the packages were for me and it had a GPS in it. to
make a long story short I put it down for 15 seconds by the front of the car
and finish loading in the rest of the packages and turn back to get my package
not even 30 seconds later and it was gone. We were looking all around the car,
in the snow and the package was nowhere to be seen. It was the weirdest thing.
I had a feeling that someone stole it but we didn't see anyone around there
take it in that short time. We spent like 40 minutes in this area just looking
all around the building in places where a thief would hide it but nothing. We
get in our car and have a prayer and immediately after the prayer we both got
the impression that the GPS was stolen by the person of this white car that was
also parked in the same parking lot. So random ay. We got out of our car and
got talking to some random dude outside and found out the apartment number to
this guy who owned this white car. <br />

We go through the building to find this
person , knocked on his door but he wouldn’t answer. We walk outside and as we
were about to give up and leave, there just so happened to be a policeman that
drove into the parking lot to drop someone off. We got talking to him and told
him our sitch. He went and got this guy to come out of his apartment. He was a German
guy. But he got this dude to open his garage and then searched in it and came
out with my package. While all of this was happening me and my companion Elder
Gibbs were sitting in the cop car watching all of this go down. It was so crazy
ay. Had we not done all those things we may have never seen that package again.
God really answers prayers for big things and even small things like us trying
to find our GPS. It was a cool experience.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But anyways the
ward that Im in is the best ward iv ever been in on my mission. This ward is so
united and I can feel that miracles are going to happen here and im excited. I
met the brother of Aunty Sia Tonga (uncle walters wife). It’s the Afeaki family
who are in our ward. He remembers me from the football camps and also leading
the haka at Kahuku lol so small this world ay. he is here coaching for football and UW. I had dinner with them last
night and it was just so good to be around some polys for once in my whole mission.
But anyways family, the lord has been so merciful to me, he is amazing. I love
you guys and so excited to hear from you on christmas.!! Gramz you better be
there.</div>

Kia ora family!! sorry my letter is coming in late today. We have
been busy as crap with our investigators today and shoveling snow in
different areas. After that I had like 5 different guys in my zone ask
me to cut there hair so its been all over the place today. The snow is
raging right now its awesome with my boots man. There not even the right
kinda boots, there like duck boots or something but I think their mean
haha.
<br />
<div>
Lia thats so cool about your wrestling. So proud of you Lia.
Keep improving girl. Dont quit, dont be soft ay. You have had a lot of
preperation with getting smashed around by us so you should be the
strongest one out there. I love you Lia and miss you so much. Your
testimony has grown a lot, and I can feel the spirit as I read them. You
would be such a awesome missionary Lia.</div>

I got all the S.S and birth certificate
in the mail and its all safe and sound mum. In order to qualify to get
your license you need proof of residency and so Iv been all over the
creation trying to get the crap they asked for. It cant just be anything
either. I ended up just buying a 5 dollar fishing license and that
worked. I had a cool experience cuz I needed to get a bank statement and there's no American Savings bank here so I called the number on the back
of my debit card and guess who answers?? Branden Galapias Mum!!! haha
she was like "whats your name" I said "George Kaka" she was like
"George!! this is Branden Galapias Mum" haha so I spoke with her for a
little bit and told her I was serving my mission and that it was snowing
hard here, she thought it was so cool. But anyways I got my permit the
other day and will be doing the drivers test on the 30th lol crack up
ay. </div>

miracle happen. We were teaching our investigator Leslie. Hes been
struggling so much. His family were about to lose their home because he
got fired all of the sudden from his job and couldn't pay the bills. The
land lord was going to kick them out of his house yesterday unless he
came up with the money. He has a wife and a son Christopher who is 7
years old. He was crying to us about where his son would go and that he
had bad asma and he doesn't do well in the cold. The spirit guided us
like crazy through out the lesson and you could see his faith being
strengthened by our words. At one point we felt prompted to promise him
that he would find money the next day to pay his bills and that they
would stay in their house. He believed us. We left his house and gave
him a blessing, the spirit was so strong. The next day I was on
exchanges in another area and my companion calls me up and says "Leslie
got a credit card in the mail that had 750 dollars on it, just enough to
pay his bills". Man It was so cool family to see that the lord cant
lie. When you follow the spirit, it always works out. Leslie was just
crying to us when we saw later yesterday. He kept saying "the lord
lives....the lord lives" </div>
<div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EZ3b1NweJiU/UqdxGBcRhoI/AAAAAAAABEM/ZbblqAG7Ons/s1600/IMG_0226%5B1%5D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EZ3b1NweJiU/UqdxGBcRhoI/AAAAAAAABEM/ZbblqAG7Ons/s320/IMG_0226%5B1%5D.jpg" width="240" /></a> Miracles are happening this Christmas family. Tomorrow is Zone
Training Meeting and we haven't even prepared it yet. We have been on 4
exchanges this week and so Its been hard to do that while separated from
my comp majority of the time lol alguds though. I love my calling you
falas</div>
<div>
I'm so happy to here your guys missionary experiences man!!
That's so cool. We have a unique family which also makes missionary work
easier. Something I encourage families out here who are doing similar
things is to think "what is the next step to get them closer to taking
the missionary discussions?" Once that happens they are preparing to be
baptized and become what I call "recipients of the celestial kingdom".
So cool ay. Iv also seen that each person has there own timing. some are
easier than others and some take longer than others but the lord knows
the heart of all his children and know what they need. We are just
instruments ay. Mean</div>
<div>
Well i gotta bounce family. I Love you guys and am so grateful
for you guys. Keep doing missionary work. And Dad bro I thought your
joke was crack up bro. My humor hasn't changed at all. Con Bro crack up
bout your sharting bro hahah I was rolling bro. I do it all the time ay
bro coming out of lessons that you've just been holding in farts like
crazy and than you come out and just explode bro but more than a fart
comes out haha. several experiences there lol. Love you family. Love you
grams!!</div>

Kia ora family! I am so happy to hear from you guys. Reading your
letters i felt proud to be apart of a family that are so strong in the
gospel. You guys are examples to everyone ay, even the people I serve
around here. I talk about you guys all the time to my investigators and
members etc. Thanks to your worthy examples of saints, all the things I
talk about are how strong and blessed my family is by the gospel. It
gives me confidence to promise broken families blessings that I know
will come for them. My mission has blessed me family. I thank the lord
everyday for all my blessings. Today I reflected on how far Iv come. I
thought back to when Conway came home from his mission and how filled
with the spirit he was, you could tell he was worthy and in tuned with
the lord. I remember when he got released and bore his testimony, he was
crying hard. I didn't understand why. He had come home to his family who
he had not seen for so long. Wouldn't you be relieved and happy? It
really did bottle me ay. Today in my studies those thoughts went through
my head. I understand why now. I cant imagine what its gonna be like
not being a missionary anymore. I felt so bad thinking of you con, not
knowing what you were going through. I love what my mission has done for
me. It feels good to finally see the gospel clearly. I have a short
time left. I think the biggest principle I can learn now is enduring to
the end. Its my time right now to prove the lord. I cant help but
remember my branch president from kenosha telling me "the end of your
mission is a reflection of the end of your life" I wanna be prepared to
finish my journey strong, everyday, hour and second. It makes me feel
more accountable to think we will give an accounting to the lord
for everything single thing we did with the time he alotted us in our
mortal existence. We cannot turn back the hands of time. A cool saying I
heard says "we learn from the past, we look to the future and we live
for today. Thats why we call it the "present". The time we have now is
truly a present ay and Christ treated his time that way. </div>

This week was a good one. We had thanksgiving at 3 different
homes amongst non-members and less-actives. I had many opportunities to
do music both on the piano and guitar and Iv learned the even greater
power our music can have through the way we introduce the song. By
explaining/testimony, you open the hearts of those around you in a way
that the spirit of the music can pierce their hearts deeper. It gives
greater light and clarity. After songs can be a time to seal the message
or the spirit in their hearts. Allow people to benefit more from your
music in a way that they will act differently and leave feeling a change
inside. It was a good week you guys. Ate heaps of food and gained like
10 pounds ay lol. My companion has become a close friend to me. He has
been a blessing to my life. Anyway though got some cool news. Today I'm
going on an exchange with my trainer Elder Loertsher if you can remember
him? well he is the AP. We have been best friends ever since but
tonight he set up a dinner appointment with a family we use to teach
back in my first area where we served together with the original fellow-shippers that we had at the time. The family is Dee Hardrath who
sent you the letter thanking you for being good parents. So crazy ay??
its unreal to have this experience, we taught them about a year and a
half ago. Excited for that man. Hopefully we can get them closer to
baptism and becoming members of the church.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sweet though family I love you guys and am so proud of you
all. Thanks for your examples and for supporting me out here. keep going
hard in all that you do. Use your time wisely.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hey wassap family! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This week was a crazy one. Snowing hard today. Me and my comp have
been out shoveling snow for a older women in the ward Sister Winchel.
Last week I also bought me some boots for 10 bucks at Savers lol crack
up. There Green and yellow for the Packers. They should get me through
the winter ay. I'm prepared this winter. Got the gears now ay, keen and
ready. The work is going good here. We are working hard and hoping to
have some baptisms in this upcoming month. We got 2 calls last night
from former investigators that we use to teach and they are ready to
take the lessons again so that's cool. I been working my hardest, so
I ave a feeling that we will see the blessings this next month. As for
the Drivers License. I have no clue why I need it. I Guess Pres has
plans for me to be driving next transfer. Well see. Time is just flying
for me here ay. The weeks go by like days and before I know it Im back
here in the Library again writing my email. let me tell you that I am
excited for this Christmas season. The greatest joy of the mission is
doing the lords work during the season that he was born. I cant wait. Im
gonna go hard. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the Wuehler family are the ones who called you guys. You
have to call her back mum and thank her. She made a huge feed the other
night. Str8 up Loco Mocos, poi mochi crap, musubis and heaps more. She
went through heaps to make all this Hawaii food stuff so I'm really grateful to them. She has done heaps for us and is trying to figure out
what shes gonna make us for thanks giving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways Ill tell you guys a little experience I had this week.
We have been teaching an older women named Arlene Finlay. She is probably in her 70's. She is amazing and I treat her like shes my
grandma and she treats me like im her grandson its crack up. When we
first met her she said she was atheist and didn't believe in God and
religions. Before closing her door we made the connection with her of Genealogy. She is hard out into family search and so we invited her to
do family search at our chapel where they teach all that stuff. She
ended up going to that thing and really loved it. We been stopping by
here and there for the past 3 months and we've become really good friends
with her. The other day we met her husband for the first time and had a
good convo with them. We set up a return appointment and came back to
there home which was this past week with some members from our ward. The
topic of religion is a sensitive topic so we couldn't just be str8 up or
else we would of pushed them away. I was however able to get through to
them through music. I sung them a song and it was obvious that they
felt the spirit. My companion and I bore our testimonies and that was as
far as we were able to get. It doesn't seem life much but compared to
where we started till now this is a huge step just being able to help
them feel the spirit in their home. I am so grateful to have grown up in
music, instruments and sharing that talent. It has blessed me so much
in the work. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways family I don't have much to say but that I'm doing good. I'm happy and I feel satisfied every night when I go to sleep knowing
that I'm apart of this work. Its more true for me everyday when I feel
the spirit. I love you guys. You sound awesome and Happy. Have a good
week you falas. I forgot to bring my camera today but I will send you
some pics next week. Tell grams that I love her a lot! </div>

I was laying fools out all day. We were playing flag football with socks in our pockets but I was just tackling. They kicked it off bro str8 to me, it was hilarious bro I ran it str8 up the guts bro bowling all these little white dudes over, fended one dude right off his feet bro, everyone was tripping out bro, they thought I was angry ay, aint no thang man haha. Mean as zone leader ay?? haha gained heaps of respect though lol. Was a good P-day, memorable as.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mum girl. how you doing ow?? haha I love you ay mum, your a beautiful women. Im glad to hear you are learning so much from your work. You definitely have a lot to offer so that doesn't really surprise me. So imma try and get my license ay, hopefully I pass. Im pretty scared coz the roads here are retarded, They have like 6 way intersections and its just jacked lol. I guess pres wants me to be able to drive so I can be more moble and useful in other areas. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dad bro, kia ora maori!! How's your body bro?? haha still looking good?? Im still a sick fala ay lol. I love you guys ay.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a mean week. Seeing a lot of miracles. We have quite a few elders in our zone who are not approachable/ teachable in any way towards us or those whom they have stewardship over but its been cool learning how to get through to these types of people. For example we met up with one of them personally this week and just sat him down and had a talk. We asked pres for some coucil and he said to us "elders its kinda like marriage, the easy thing is to give up and get a divorce. Dont do that, work it out. most of all, love him." I was like "fa what dumb council" lol I Was expecting something inspiring. Anyways we've been doing what pres said and its changed my whole perspective on leadership. Giving constructive criticism to your peers is difficult and Iv seen that in this calling. But this week I learned that when you lead with love they not only respect and listen to you but the problems that were there seem to just work themselves out. I don't know how that works ay but loving God and your neighbor brings success in all areas of life(matt 22:36-40). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I felt the spirit so powerful this week. I been really trying to become a more charitable person and have been praying so hard for it. Normally when Iv prayed for something, Iv received opposition that allowed me to exercise some principle of the gospel. This week on the other hand Iv received tender mercies from the lord, not opposition in any way. Iv learned a lot about it. Iv been making a lot of changes in me that have blessed me this week. We learn of principles through church and the scriptures etc. but don't benefit from them until we really apply them. Jesus was perfect in this aspect. I want to have this as a strength, and so my week was based on becoming better at that. Anyways family that's if for me ay. Ready for another week of success. I want this!!</div>

Hey how you doing family!!! good to hear from you guys ay. Sounds like the rain is coming ay. Same story ay lol flood so'o. Thats crack up bout the little contraption you dumb maoris. As for the wheather here, today its snowing hard out. We gonna go play football in the snow so I get an opportunity to smash the District Leaders in my zone lol. My week was hectic as the mother. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1921667972" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Monday</span></span> through <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1921667973" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">friday</span></span> was straight transfers, moving missionaries all over, meetings and heaps of crap. Its been keeping me real busy ay which I love. No rest for the wicked you falas. </div>
<div>
Byu football team came up to play University of Wisconsin <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1921667974" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">on saturday</span></span> and got smashed. The <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1921667975" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">friday</span></span> before the game they put on a fireside at the stake center (our chapel). It was cool as ay. Was good to see and feel the spirit of polynesians man. I saw some familiar faces. coach mark atuaia the fwam, coach anai, i also saw sae tautu (tigis cousin). It was crack up coz he came up to me after the fireside and said "sole george how you doing" lol I was cracking up. He served his mission in Brookland and is back at BYU playing. I also met one of their star players Bronson Kafusi who spoke. He served his mission in New Zealand and knows the Kaka family. It tripped out a lot of people/ nonmembers seeing what the team did the day before game as in comparison to what other teams do. It was a good impression for our churh. ESPN cameras were there so it was cool that it was broadcasted too. </div>
<div>
Right now we are teaching a awesome family Kendrick and his wife Mate. They have been taking the lessons and progressing so well. The husband was born and raised in the states, straight up gangster. And his wife was born and raised in Zambia Africa. They have become like family to us. There eyes have been opened to the message of the restoration and all the answers to lifes deepest questions that come with it. He has commited heaps of crimes, has been with gangs, in and out of jail. We caught him at a time in his life when he is changing. His wife will be giving birth soon so he is trying to prepare himself for the baby. He is working on giving up bad habits, smoking and other things and this is the state that we found him in. So prepared. He has come to church and also the fireside the other night and loved it. Our ward did a ward fast for missionary work and since then we have found so many prepared people like Kendrick and Mate. </div>
<div>
My zone right now consists of 60 missionaries. We have 7 districts, and 5 of these district leaders are new to this calling. Its been a stretch trying to keep everyone in the loop and training them on how to fulfill and magnify their calling. There is no way I could go trunkey well there is so much to be done here. So far I have learned a lot of patience and love. patience with others faults and loving them when you feel like scolding them. Its been very humbling for me as a leader ay. There has been many times where Iv had to be the bigger person, bite my pride and try to understand other missionaries struggles in the work. Its not easy trying to be like Jesus ay. Not at all. Theres nothing you can do to vent like going to the beach, listening to music, being alone for a while, playing the guitar, lifting or taking your frustration out on a punching bag. Things that Im used to doing. Being away from all these things have taught me how to go straight to my heavenly father when I need his help, when I dont know how to comfront a situation or if I just need some comfort. The relief is much longer lasting and builds deeper conversion rather than temoral relief. I know heavenly father loves all of his children. This has really helped me to grow. Out of all my expereinces and miracles witnessed on my mission. The greatest of them all is the testimony and conversion I have recieved from prayer and scriptrue study. Something I learned yesterday in church is that their is a difference between these 2 words "testimony" and "conversion". A testimony is to know and feel. Conversion is to do and become. It is possible to have a testimony with out living it where as conversion is a process not an event. Earnestly and sincerely praying to my heavenly father and reading his words everyday has changed my life. This week I realized how grateful I am for these 2 principles. Sweet family! i LOVE you guys so much ay. Im gonna finish strong ay! thanks for your support again!!</div>
<div>

<div>
p.s I got the box mum. Thanks I loved the lollies. I should be good for the rest of my mission ay. I LOVE you mum. Ill send you guys my broken watch and also a usb that has some vieos on there of me singing and of my investigator kendrick doing a stand up comedian for us lol! </div>

You will be prepared bro, first thing is become worthy bro. There's no better way to prepare. (Alma 60:23) says the inward vessel shall be cleansed first than shall the outer vessel be cleansed also. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Sorry my letters smallkine crimz today. Its gonna be crazy day for us. Its transfers <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_937683840" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">this Wednesday</span></span> so me and my comp will be sussing out transfer logistics for the whole zone. It takes straight 2 days for us, so well be slammmed all today. Im loving my calling though family and trying to magnify it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My highlight experience of this area has been getting to know the willis family in our ward. They have a crazy story like lehi and his family leaving Jerusalem. He got revelation that he and his family should leave everything in Indiana where they lived before, and move to Wisconsin. So he did right away not knowing at all why, or even where they would live or any job situation. They got here, bought a domb house tent thingy and just parked it on some camping grounds. They have been living like boy scouts for the past 5 months. We went over to eat dinner and it was crazy how they have been living but they were just so humble about it. It made me cry just being there. This week they planned that there time was done here so we helped them pack everything up today and they are leaving now. So crazy ay. He said I didnt know why we had to do all these crazy things. I had a sweet job back home , a house and left all of that behind because when the lord commands, me must obey. He said they know now why they had to come here. To learn how to serve and do misisonary work. Because of their situation they had less responsibilities and more time to serve and help others. They have spent the last 5 months fellowshipping so many people to the church. He said, "had we not moved here we would have never had these experiences and teaching moments". </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I thought their story was so cool ay. We don't always understand where we will end up, how we are getting their but when we obey the lord, he leads and guides us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That's me family, doing good, healthy, happy and sexy!! haha I love you guys so much. Keep being better and improving. Until next week!!</div>

Kia ora family! mint as letters!! Ash bro destroying it out there on the field ay g?? bro proud as heck of you bro. You always had the talent ay bro, It just started to come together after I left bro cuz I was to hard on you bro. Member that bro? doing latters across the road at tva? Sole I use to stand at the other side of the latter and wait for you to come through so I could smash you bro hahahah sad fala ay bro I'm a bit messed up in the head ay but my missions been able to help me with that lol. l Love you bro. Keep being successful g and humble. Family you guys all look good ay. And as for me I look good too. Been doing a lot of running lately in the mornings. Its starting to get cold now days so im getting my juevos ready for that. I had a awesome week. We had stake conference yesterday and it was so awesome. Before it though we had a MCM meeting me and my comp with all the stake presidency and also the mission president where we talk with them about every recent convert in the stake within the last year, and all the baptismal candidates in our zone. Its a awesome opportunity for me. Iv been able to learn a lot from these great men and about how to be a righteous leader. In this calling you have to know a lot of people, their names, their problems and concerns and its just crazy how the lord qualifies you to be able to do that. At the stake conference they had all the full-time missionaries stand up and there were heaps of us!! it was amazing ay!! its a good time to be a missionary. The whole conference was focused on members stepping their game up in the missionary work, It was awesome as heck! The stake president said in his talk to the members "if you don't raise the bar how will you ever know your potential?" its crunch time ay family. We need to be focused on being prepared for the savior to come. The Book of Mormon was brought about in our age and time to prepare us for his second coming. It teaches us of what the people did in the ancient Americas to prepare for his first coming to help us know now how to be better prepared for his second coming. We are lucky ay. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So last week when I was on exchanges in my last area I gave the baptismal interview to Catalino and he just wasn't ready. After the conference yesterday, Catalino was there, so I gave him the interview again and he answered all of the questions good but It just didn't feel right to me. I love this guy and I want him to receive the blessings of baptism more than any other person besides God but I didn't pass him. It was crazy cuz Iv never had to do that on my mission. Not pass someone. I reassured him that he would be baptized but that additional preparation was needed before that could happen. As soon as he left the room I closed the door and knelt down and prayed to ask heavenly father if what I did was correct. Immediately my whole body was filled with the spirit. Heavenly father assured me that baptism was sacred and that the person must be prepared in their willingness to take upon them the name of Jesus Christ. Its a serious thing ay. but it was just a cool experience that helped me know how much our father in heaven loves us and is preparing us to live with him. The holy ghost is real. My greatest joy of the work is being able to feel that everyday. But the spirit can sometimes become like being in a hot shower for too long. The shower doesn't seem to be too hot anymore because your body gets used to it. And so when we have the spirit with us so often we tend to forget its there anymore until its gone. Iv found that by continually being conscious of the spirit and by righteous living we can have strong spiritual experiences more frequently in our lives which will help us have deeper conversions of the gospel. Iv witnessed this more so later in my mission. The work of the lord is real. I love it so much. i love you my family. Excited to reunite with you all again. Have a mean week!!</div>

Hey family!! really good to hear from you guys today. I really felt the spirit reading your letters today and couldn't help but have a little cry. We have such an awesome family. I love you guys and just want to thank you for your prayers. Last night as I knelt down to pray and go to bed I thanked my heavenly father for all that he has given me. The spirit was felt as I thanked him for each individual family member. I have learned something profound from each of you that has shaped my life and who I am. It has helped me get through my mission. I owe my life to heavenly father and just thinking of the percentage time of my service as a missionary compared to the rest of my life, this is the least I can do in return for my life. We are so blessed. I see this everyday with those I teach and work with and even my very own companions and fellow missionaries. Our family has so much. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well this week was a crazy one. We had 3 exchanges and so I was all over the place. I had a awesome week though. I got to go back to my last area in Janesville and see all my old family's, friends and it was just a sweet reunion. Catalino, a man that I found and was teaching for 6 months there, is finally getting baptized and so I get to go back next week and give him the baptismal interview, such a sweet reward ay. I have such a awesome companion right now ay. He has helped me so much to become a better person. Every experience we have is a precious one because it determines our becoming. Out here it seems like everything is in my bet to grow, learn, be humbled, and just become. Its been the sweetest ride for me ay. One thing Iv really struggled with lately is just stealing man. On exchanges I Just steal heaps of things ay, toiletries, food, writing utensils etc. its hard living the poor life ay haha na na. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Awesome to hear bout your brother Charlie dad and his affects from his mission. I felt comforted hearing that and a confirmation of how real this work is. I also love that you guys are seeing the blessings that come from service. Its the best feeling ay. I am impressed by how many accomplishments each of you have had lately, that is all part of the plan ay. Keep your efforts up family. Its obvious that your testimonies have grown so much. I'm sure my letters have changed since Iv been gone, well I hope they have, but so have yours. Keep moving forward family. "You know your on the right path if your going uphill"- elder perkins of the seventy said that to our zone. Its true though. That's why Jesus Christ is who he says he is. He is the master climber and he's paved the path to take. Now all we need to do is climb. I love you family, have a sweet week!</div>

Kia ora family! good to hear from you guys. Another week behind and gone so fast. The fall is falling in and winter is close. The trees are changing into so many vibrant beautiful colors. Its different ay. Its gonna be a good winter though. I'm prepared this time ay haha. It was a mean week. Missionary work is just so enjoyable. Yesterday at church was awesome. Our ward did a fast for missionary work and so the testimony meeting was based off missionary work along with all the classes, it was the best <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1685866354" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> of my mission. The bishop asked me to give my testimony and I was so happy to get the opportunity to just bear testimony of missionary work. As I bore my testimony I just started crying and it was so weird ay, I never cry but I was just so overwhelmed with the spirit of missionary work. I know that its true. I'm really soaking in the time that I have left and it sucks because its flying faster and faster every transfer. My calling keeps me busy and were constantly on the mover travelling all over our massive zone to do exchanges with missionaries. We go on at least 13 exchanges a month so its a fun calling getting to be all over Wisconsin. I met a guy from Hawaii the other day at a ice-cream shop, it was crazy ay. Str8 fresh of the island of Maui, cant remember his name though but it was good to see a poly. Its good to hear the family is doing good though you falas. Mum I don't know if I mentioned last week but since you falas are gonna come get me, I just wanted to make sure you spoke with the mission office about travel plans and wot not. Anyways you guys I love you guys so much and happy to be apart of such an amazing family. It makes it so easy for me to testify of families and what the gospel can do for them, coming from a family that is so happy and blessed. Hope everyone is looking chexy, and your bodies are in shape lidat. I don't have much else to say, I'm here doing ma thing, working my butt off and trying to become the person God wants me to be. Thank you for your love and support it has blessed me my whole mission. Have a good week family!!</div>

Kia ora family! mean as letters ay! It was a mean week with the conference ay, a lot of learning and now time to really benefit from living the things we learned. Thanks for the picks, they look mean. Ash sole you sound and look good bro. Your shirt looks 2 mills uce! mean bro. Glad to here everyone is doing good though, its always a good feeling to here that after a week of work. Iv had a massive week ay. Its been a very prosperous and spiritual one. The biggest miracle of the week was the ability to feel the spirit. I been really focusing on the spirit this week in the way that I read the Book Of Mormon and the way I speak with heavenly father. Because of it I was prepared for promptings I was given. I was asked by a missionary to give him a blessing. At the time there were 4 other missionaries in their apartment who could have given him a blessing. Instead of telling him to ask one of them I felt we should still go and so we drove a pretty far distance to get there. After giving the blessing I didn't feel too accomplished like that was my real purpose in being in that apartment. Make a long story short I walk into their room and get talking with the companion of the missionary who we blessed. He's having a really hard time. He was thinking about going home, felt inadequate and unprepared spiritually to be out here. He told me I don't even know if all of this even is true. This missionary just started balling. I felt the spirit so strong as I testified to this elder of my conversion. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(I don't know if you know) but I never received a sure witness that the church was true, or even the Book of Mormon my whole life before the mission. I went my whole first 9 months of my mission not knowing. It was hard to press forward during hard times when I had no reason too. At this point I had read the Book Of Mormon 3 times, did moronis promise, prayed and received absolutely no answer. I later read a talk "the 4th missionary" that inspired me to really put God to the test if he really was there. This talk invites the missionary to sacrifice all that he has, hears, says, does and thinks about for the lords will. Too receive an answer willingly did these things. The last being to write Mona off. I did these things family and when the time was right I again asked the lord as sincere as I was able, if the book of Mormon was true, I didn't receive a yes or a no but that I should be patient, and that my answer would come. At the end of that week was general conference. Elder Erying gave a talk and in it he said "to everyone God gives gifts. pray to know what your gifts are" I Felt the spirit most at that moment to take his invitation. I prayed immediately after his talk. I opened my eyes and the choir began to sing "behold tis even tide". I received the most powerful witness I could ever have. It was my answer. In that moment I had flashbacks of my life and every witness I had received from music. I felt the spirit of God fill my body and it was as though there were angels present in the room. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Along with this experience I shared many things with this missionary. we spoke for at least an hour. His experience is a lot like the one I had especially being that the next day after our talk was general conference. Invited him to change his life and promised him that he would receive an answer, cuz i did. I closed us with a prayer. My prayer was filled with Gods words because, this missionary literally fell to the ground and starting crying. He could hardly speak. He told me that I said exactly what he was thinking and the exact things that he needed to hear. It was a miracle family. God lives today. Ill share one thing from general conference I liked. It was said "we have one message...and that is that God still speaks" Laman and Lemual saw an angel and that experience still didn't convert them. miracles do not produce faith. True conversion happens from the lord speaking to us by his voice or by his spirit. My testimony is that we all need to feel the witness of the spirit through righteous living and obedience in order to receive conversion. we need conversion to have any reason to press forward in this life of obstacles and continuous tests of faith. I fasted <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1760115807" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Saturday</span></span> and <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1760115808" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">Sunday</span></span> so that this missionary could receive that answer. My miracle of the week among many. Love you family, thank you for all that you do.</div>

Family I had a good week ay. A crazy one. We had mission tour this week and so it was another zone combined with us and me and my comp were In charge of all the logistics and the meeting program crap. It was crazy. We had a general authority come down to that, his name was Anthony Perkins of the seventy, but he was a spiritual giant hard. Last minute the presidents wife win ask me If I had a song I could sing, so right on da spot I went play and sing have you ever talked to God. It was pretty good ay. This meeting wasn't like any other, Elder Perkins recognized that the missionaries in our zone weren't being obedient, and one point of the meeting he randomly stopped and says " The spirit has been telling me to say this for the past 3 hours.....this group of missionaries are not prepared. Their is something that you haven't been doing to prepare for the spirit today. I have not been feeling the spirit here today" It was crazy ay, I was hit not because I have been disobedient or anything but because he was talking to my zone. Im their leader. The day before the meeting I was reading the Zone leader packet and one part says in it "you are responsible for the success or failure of your zone" and at that moment I felt a burden of not preparing my zone enough to receive revelation from this apostle. I received a lot of great council and direction for myself, and all those I lead and teach, It was a mean time. One quick update about our mission. our president just made it a rule that no one can have any instruments!!! crazy ay, one my main tools in the work. All goods though this is gonna test and allow me to find other gifts that heavenly father has given me. After the meeting that day, I felt the spirit so strong this whole week and have seen plural miracles occur simply because I could recognize the spirit more in my work. Our African family is doing good. Her 2 sons went on the scout camp this week, so their is great progress there. Me and my comp are all G. We had to move out of our apartment this week so we been doing a lot of lifting and moving around. One cool thing with having a truck is we are able to move a lot of things. This past week we found heaps of furniture and beds on the side of the road and hulled them al over to our African family's house. They were stoked like the heck. And she told my at church yesterday, "elder Kanahelieelei(murdered my name lol) the bed is comfortable" lol crack up ay. Anyways family, gotta get going, my minutes are about to end, these computers suck, only give us 30 minutes. I love you guys ay, ash n lia keep doitzing it in your sports, con bro get marries g, mum I Love you and cant wait to hug you too, now my bodies soft lol, and dad bro your the mad ay love you g, keep singing bro to the death, I Love it ay.

Kia ora family! everyone sounds mean. I had a very humbling week. Transfers was the craziest thing on earth. We had to worry about logistics for 60 missionaries. Where they were sleeping, whose car they would be getting in, who they give their keys too, the times of loading and unloading, meetings they needed to be at, and all the new apartments they would be moving into and more. It was crack up as ay. My companion was transferred so it was all on me and so I was having a good laugh coz I was lost as heck. I haven't been one to know the coordinates and map of our mission nor have I cared to know lol but now I have to know that stuff. Like north south east and west lol and how many miles from point A to point B haha it was a crack up. My gps was my liahona for sure ay, dont know what I would have done. Got through it though family. I was having some mean prayers that heavenly father would help understand everything, remember it and be able to direct all the missionaries where to go, and he did. My new companion is Caylor Carter from farmington Utah, Tall white fwamster. He's a tight guy though. Kind of geeky but we get along hard. We compensate each other real well and its been good to work with him this past week. He has been serving in Mexico this past year and a half but hurt his back and had to go home for therapy for about 2 months. His visa expired so hes finishing his last months out here. Anyways so that was the bulk of my week ay. I feel like a grown up now haha cuz we've had to talk to land lords and apartment managers on behalf of new apartments for missionaries and its just been a crack up cuz the old me didn't do that ay haha. As for the work, this week was humbling and I felt the spirit a lot. The thing I love about obstacles is you get to feel heavenly fathers love even more in your life. I felt that this week. Our African family has been doing ok. They have some serious struggles and it just makes me so sad and humbles me every time im in their presents. These people all live in a small ugly apartment, no furniture or beds to sit and sleep on, or even enough food to feed their young kids. They have tons of charges against them because of false accusations and are just in a jacked situations. Despite all of this they are the most humble people I have ever met. They never murmur, wine or talk about how crappy their lives are. The one who's name is Elijah yesterday told me "im not rich like bill gates but I know im rich in spirit because I know who god is" It made me cry ay cuz these people are they who Jesus said: blessed are they who are poor in spirit for they shall inherit the kingdom of my God. we taught them from Jeffrey R Hollands talk "good things to come", and closed with 2 nephi 31. These people love each other. They share one bottle of Gatorade amongst each other and still want to feed us dinner. But we are helping them have greater purpose to press forward and teaching them of the good things that are to come. They are preparing to be baptized <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2073188306" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">October 28</span></span> so I hope they can get there. When we understand what is in store or what lies ahead of our obstacles and enduring struggles, we are willing to overcome the waves of life. That was my highlight experience of the week family. Just seeing how much Gods children need us. They need to know that their is a savior who wants to heal us, but he waits at the door. We are here to teach people how to come unto Christ and be healed. I have witnessed many who live their lives with out this spiritual and universal medicine of Christs atonement and it breaks my heart but at the same time I cherish more what I have and know to be true. I love you family! </div>
