This week has been somewhat uneventful. I presume you all remember Tyler? Well, guess what? He came to church yesterday! I found out that he wasn't actually deployed at all, but he is at a military school, and so the only day he gets to spend time with his family is Sunday. The old Tyler would not have sacrificed part of his only day off to come to church, but he was not only there, but he was actively participating in church meetings! He signed his number up so that he could stay updated on activities in the Elders quorum. It's so great to see him so excited and happy at church. The gospel has changed his life around. He's still the same Tyler I began teaching with Elder Campbell when I first got here, but he's happier now, he's no longer addicted to chew or alcohol, he's more kind and loving to his wife and his daughter, (and their new kid on the way!) I mean, he always was kind and loving to them, but now even more so, and you can feel the spirit when you enter his home. In the words of David Archuleta: "ooooohhh... It's Glorious" I absolutely love teaching him, and I know now without a doubt that he will be able to be baptized on November 18, 2017. I'm so excited for him!
Speaking of baptisms, tonight at 7:00pm Keila, Rayjah, and Rayjin will all be able to be baptized! This is very exciting for me because it will be my first baptism! And it's a group of three! I love the Vickers family and I'm so excited to see them baptized today! You'll all get to see pictures next week!
The big news of the week is that Elder Campbell is going to be transferred to Kauai. Yes, really. I'm staying in Wahiawa, which I figured was going to be the case, but I'm still excited for Elder Campbell because I know he's going to be happy in Kauai. Apparently it's super local and he's going to get fed a lot. He's not going to be on the green side though, Elder Zollinger, who has been to that area before, and who is going home tomorrow, was talking to Elder Campbell about the place all night and they're both super excited.
My new companion's name is Elder Orhuela. He's Hispanic, and that's the only thing I know about him. I don't know if he's actually from Mexico or not, but I do know he's Hispanic, and that's it. Sorry I can't give you more info, it just wasn't that eventful and I don’t know anything about him yet.
I'll give you a nice quote from K.K. Slider to end off this week, and I guess also a Hawaiian word of the month. (I had to ask people what No ka ‘oi meant. I had never heard it before. Even though I'm in Hawaii, nobody here speaks Hawaiian at all. It's more pidgin than anything. In fact I'm pretty sure you guys know more Hawaiian words than I do, but what the heck I'll give it a try.)
Quote from K.K. Slider: "Always remember that bad times... are just times that are bad. They are not forever, but happy memories are."
Hawaiian word of October: "Ohana" meaning family. I learned that from Lilo & Stitch. You should watch that movie again. Elder Campbell says that Stitch landed on Kauai. Elder Ashby says that it was Big Island. You should tell us which one it was actually. Anyway, the lizard's name is Pebble. Thank you for naming him. I love you all and miss you all!
