This week I ran a 5k...actually
that's a lie..I participated in it...I only got through half of it...i'm
getting fat but working out twice a day now so that's helpful...my new
comp is Elder Orberg from Washington...no Utah comps yet...haha. Kalani
got baptized friday the 13th...i wasn't there obviously because of
transfers but it's all good...Hope to be on big island when they go
through the temple! I saw a Kansas Mailbox sticker somewhere...I'd go
take a picture of it but we saw it when we got lost in our area and I
have absolutely no idea where it was...
speaking of getting lost we are white washing...we are both new to
the area and have no idea where we are going...luckily we have a
gps...we got up one morning to do morning exercises at the church with
the rest of the zone...we type in the church and pick the "closest"
one...we ended up in pearl city...which is out of zone...haha oh well...
This week was a blast...last pday we went on a hike along the
ocean. it was basically awesome....I'll include some pics of it...but it
was a blast...and of course I got a sunburn...junk!
So my last ward had 3 white families...and everyone said "that's
the whitest ward you'll be in on your mission...when I got to the 5k I
saw barely anyone that wasn't white...I didn't see the ocean...I just
saw white people and mountains...I thought I was in Utah for a
while...seriously...It was really weird...I'm really white so I fit in
perfectly but I feel SO out of place...I miss all the Pidgin and all the
different cultures and nationalities...oh well...I'm in whiteville for a
reason :P
this week we had a mini-missionary. Elder Chang...he's 17 years
old...we had an excellent weekend planned and we were excited to show
him what missionary work is like...well we did/didn't at the same
time...we had an appointment on friday and 4 on saturday...the 4 on
saturday were at 1, 2, 3, and 4. VERY busy day...well guess what
happened...every. single. appointment. cancelled. without a doubt the
most depressing day so far...we were about to invite 2 to baptism and
meet 2 part member families...I was pretty frustrated...on top of the 4
straight cancellations it was pouring ran....unlike it has ever before
here! (at least that's what all the locals were saying)
we rescheduled most of the appointments but we'll see if it happens...hope you have a good week! Love you! Aloha!
