November 10th, 2013

Hello everybody, 
It is finally feeling like Summer around here, it will be different to have a Summer Christmas, but I'm still excited for it. We have had a great last week, found a couple new  people and did more service mowing a couple lawns. We also had a couple really good firesides this past weekend. One was for a maori man named Tommy Taurima, who was receiving a "Living Treasure" award. He is a member who has shared the gospel through producing island dances and helped out the PCC in Hawaii a lot. The other fireside was about Byu hawaii and also The PCC. The CEO of the Polynesian Culture Center came as well. He is also a Stake President over in Hawaii and he shared some great stories from his mission and work they do there at the culture center. It is funny because he shared his conversion story, and it actually started out with him playing Basketball with a bunch of members and he just thought we were a flash church with good organization. He shared of how he took Moroni's challenge (Moroni 10:3-5) and his feelings toward the church changed and he felt that it was a good thing. It reminded me of dad's conversion story how he used to play Basketball late night at the chapel before he was a member. Well, Love you all and miss you all, Have a nice week
