ELDER KAKA'S LAST LETTER

Lia Happy BIrthday girl!!I love you so much Lia!! I give you one beeg hug when I see you ok:)
Kia ora you falas!! like always ay its good to hear from you falas!!!

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.

    

I love you guys so much and I cant explain how grateful I am for each of you individually. The plan of salvation will only extend our happiness beyond our imagination. Im excited to see you all ay. Mum and Dad you falas ready for this? We are going to be eating heaps of food probli like 2 dinners every night lol and more so get your fat guts ready ok!! Alright family! 2 more days of all guts out ay!! till the end family!!

ELder Kanahele!

Catalino Ramirez Baptism - In Janesville

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 life through his diligence and obedience than another, he will have so much the advantage in the world to come". 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.

     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 Saturday 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.

     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.

    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!!

Elder Kanahele Kaka!!

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!!

     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.

     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.

   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!!!

Elder Kanahele!!

You’ve come so far mum and still remember when we lived down by Sam store when you were in school and waitress down and hukilau cafe  slogging your guts. You’ve been in it head strong the whole time and its paid off yeah? grown so much. Your a awesome example to us all mum. And still able to look beautiful, be a mum, wife and still able to go down and surf at the beach. You get em ah mum. Dad bro I Got a nice grey jacket, a black one and also a heavy duty one. Dont spend too much money yeah you guys. That guy Brian is all shirt ow. The weather should be all gee. As long as you have some layers when you come, and you can use one of my jackets. its not like were gonna be out tracting all day. well be in doors ay. you trying to be handsome ay dad?? haha crack up bro, always gotta look prime ay bro. If that’s the case don’t let me stop you bro, do your thing ay. I can get you a good jacket mum that you can use as well from one of the members. just let me know ay, easy!!

     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 ^adone it unto one of the ^bleast of these my ^cbrethren, ye have done it unto me."

 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.

I love you family, still enduring. Its time to finish everything off strong. Thank you!

Help me finish strong. Im trying to work harder than I ever have and love more than Iv ever loved. Its a constant battle.

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 get it done!! Miracles this week family!! cheehooooo!!

 

Elder Kanahele Kaka

Dad I got a few nice jackets for you bro. Sweet if you guys have any questions bout the cold let me know. Dont want you falas to get sick ay soft falas! different ballgame over here ay!!

Kia ora you falas!!!

     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.

     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.

     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.

     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!!

Elder Kanahele Kaka

PS-Please tell Vick I just got his letter in the mail. the mission office forwarded it to the wrong address. i will reply to his class next week! also tell the McDonalds I said hi. they were so good to me you guys!! 

Kia ora family! I love you guys. The family sounds so busy ay!! 3 mean you guys. Iv the way the youth is taught now days sounds so much more advanced than how it was for me and conway. where we just play hangman and eat candy lol. Lia and ash you guys sound so spiritual and Im so proud of you guys ay. Mum and Dad 25 years???? oiy shole old futs lidat! Im so happy for you two ay. You have been the best parents, friends and examples all in one.

   

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 13:24). 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.

     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.

Hey Family!! good to hear from you guys again! im just at the laundromat now on their computers drinking a whole jug of chocolate milk. Con bro you and koal look like your on steroids uce, looking 3 mean dang!! happy for you bro. Lia good to hear you enjoying yourself girl. Your a good girl lia, never letting you get married ok. Ash bro in first nephi bro? mean gee. Thats crack up bro. Thats good you applying your readings to yourself bro, mean g. Con you plastic maori bro hahaha na sounds mean as bro! all I know is "Shot on the harakeke bei" haha. you all sound good though ay which is always a blessing for me to hear. My week was 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!

p.s grams I got your box with all the grinds. Thank you so much grams. love you!

Elder kanahele

 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.

     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.

     The weather has been warming up a lot lately and so we are trying to take advantage of the weather. Tomorrow 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.

     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

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"

"The Savior warned that in the last days even those of the covenant, the very elect, could be deceived by the enemy of truth.

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” and in the last days neither your heart nor your faith will fail you."

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.

@ Sia Tonga's Brothers Home

Hey family!! awesome as to hear from you guys ay! Everyone sounds awesome!!

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.

Picture emailed to me by Brian Neeley (Ward Mission Leader)

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. 

     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.

sup family!! sorry I didn't  email you guys yesterday! We have been trying to figure out all our transfer logistics stuff for tomorrow. We spent all day yesterday doing that, it wasn't a p-day at all lol alguds though. We have had a lot of disobedient missionaries as well so we were taking care of that this week and yesterday, so busy man! tomorrow Ill be transferring over to another ward in my same area so I wont be going far. We finally split our massive zone and so I will be the zone leader of the other half. Its been a pretty hectic week family but a good one. Had heaps of exchanges and just been all over the place. I was in 3 different areas this week back to back. The crack up thing is I forgot to pack enough G's and stuff for all those days and pretty much just wore the same ones all week haha crack up man, humbling ay. It was -25 degrees the other day with the windshields!! crazy ay! the coldest weather Iv been in on my mission. I'm doing good though, im all set, have all the right gears and my health is mint as man!

     You guys all sound good though. Thanks for your letters. Con bro sewing uce?? shuah dog!! Ash bro bouts to play rugby gee?? mean bro, carve it up bro. Mum and Dad good to hear you guys love each other ay. you guys are awesome man! I don't have much time right now to write, sorry ay. Ill be better next week. But just to let you know when I get to my new area tomorrow ill try find someone I can go to for Christmas so I can Skype you guys. Sweet you falas excited to hear from you all ay. I love you guys so much. Thanks for your prayers and sacrifices, they have blessed me, my companion and our investigators. Have a mean as week, hear from you all next week.

 

p.s you guys like my pics from turkey bowl in the snow? and pday football!! Wisconsin styles uce!

 

   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.

     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.

     So my week was crazy. 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.

     The work is going good family!!! this week I had a cool 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"

     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

     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

    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!!

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.

 

    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.

     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.

 

Hey wassap family!

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.

     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.

     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.

    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!

 

Elder Kanahele kaka! 

yo wattap family!! you falas a crack up man! Good to hear from you guys again.

    So proud of you all. Lia girl, your wrestling season sounds crack up, I remember that crap ay. I will never regret doing wrestling though, it taught me so much. It teaches you how to have personal accountability. your only as good as what you personally give. Endurance is another. Iv been blessed on my mission a lot because of the things I learned in wrestling so keep going Lia. The harder the battle the sweeter the victory!! Im proud of you Lia.

     Ash bro sole!! Player of the year??? sole that's 3 mean uce. So proud of you too bro. Eagle shuah?? bro mean dog take advantage of uncle Harold while hes a live bro, hes got heaps of knowledge. 

     Con bro you looking good dog in da surf pics bro. Sole that's crack up bout the flag football. must be having fun ah. Last week was so fun playing football man. We played out at some field in the snow. Man it was the most crack up thing ever. I straight up told everyone " i aint playing easy ay, were here to win" haha. It was my time ay. 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.

     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. 

    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.

     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).

     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!!

Alex's Baptism 11-09-13

 

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. Monday through friday 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.

     Byu football team came up to play University of Wisconsin on saturday and got smashed. The friday 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.

     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.

     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!!

 

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!

Its crazy to think you about graduate uce. The mission is right around the corner bro! I cant wait for you to get out and experience the greatest joys bro. Keep preparing bro. Your testimony is growing sole I can tell. Iv been able to work with a lot of younger missionaries lately, fresh 18 year olds out of high school and its crazy cuz the lord allows them to grow quickly. 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.

     Mum stop stressing ow! If your doing all you can, than things will turn out the way they are supposed to. You got this mum! one step at a time girl. Have a prayer and let your spirit take the lead and everything will follow.

     Dad bro how you been bro? miss you ay. how's your body looking bro? Hows your gout bro? still taking those pills just so you can eat pork? lol crack up bro. I love you dad.

     Con bro shole who's the aunties in the pics g?? potential or wut? haha you got a girlfriend or wut bro? gotta stop jumping on your brada koals back uce! lol just kidding bro love you ay con. You looking good bro. Im proud of you bro. Hows doctor status bro? still going temple g? fa its been crazy not being able to go to the temple in ages ay. We are so spoiled to see it from our house lol. Hows the missionary work going with our families? they gonna take the lessons or wut?

     Sorry my letters smallkine crimz today. Its gonna be crazy day for us. Its transfers this Wednesday 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.

     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".

     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.

    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!!

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.

     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!!

 

p.s tell grandma that I love her ok

 

p.s.s here's some picks of my comp on his b-day the other day and also our new car we got!!! spoiled ay. We get treated like kings as zl's
