That's SWEET that you guys get to go to Hawaii! Take lots of pics for me! I hope we can go on another Hawaii trip when I get home! I have seen a couple pictures of the new Provo City Center Temple and it looks awesome! I actually watched a time lapse of it being built and it was nuts! I'm excited to see it when I get home! Congrats to Timmy on the call to Cali! That will be an awesome place to serve and it's sweet that he gets to learn Spanish! Kill it Tim!!!
This week was pretty good! A ton of our investigators cancelled on us and a couple rescheduled for this week so that was kind of a bummer! We did a lot of tracting and finding which was actually really fun! We did get to teach one of our new investigators named Richard White. He is a YSA who lives with his super inactive mom, and they are kind of struggling to get by right now. He has a dog named Ghost which was named after the Holy Ghost haha, because one night he was praying that he would be able to wake up at a certain time in the morning, because he felt a little lazy and he needed to wake up. Then he went to bed and his dog woke him up at that exact time, so that's pretty sweet! But the first thing that he said when we got into the lesson with him was "So when is the soonest that I can get baptized?" Haha so we told him the requirements and he said that he would live them! But he had been taught by missionaries before in a YSA branch in Utah and he said he didn't like the branch there because the people in it were kinda snobby and stuck up haha, which I can believe. But he said he loves our branch and he really does feel that our church is true and he wants to be baptized. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and set a baptism date with him for April 9th, so we are super excited for that!
That was one of the many miracles that we saw this week! We were definitely getting some opposition from the adversary this week, but one of the lessons that we learned is that there is opposition in all things, and for all the bad things that happen, there are always good things to be happy about! Every time we had an investigator cancel or we had some brutal rejection tracting, we saw a miracle later in the day or the week! It was so awesome to see and know that God does love his children and that his power can overcome anything! I love being a missionary and being able to see these things on a daily basis, and to be able to feel the Spirit work through me as I speak and testify of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It's the best thing ever!
Anyways, I hope you guys are doing well! Have fun in Hawaii next week and don't forget to take pics! I love and miss all of you. Keep choosing the right, and you'll be happy!
Love Elder Summerhays
