Hey,
Ya im doing pretty good. My mouth is sorta better and im hoping to never go to the dentist again. Saturday was a way good day. One of the best so far. We had 11 non members there including the crazy lady i told merc about and when investagators see baptisms it increases the percentage of them getting baptized by 80 percent so im excited. Yesterday was the confirmation. Foley was scared so he didnt do it and her friend in the ward did but i was in the circle and it was a good experience. Foley was crying like a baby and if you knew him like i know him you would never expect it. Way cool. He tried to cover it though and just left the room right after haha. There was a party after and hawaiian partys are the best i decided. Everyone just brings food so there was so much. You dont have to call people to bring anything its just like expected so its way less stress on the people having it at there house. Basically the whole ward was there so it was way fun.
Ryan and Ian are ok. Ian didnt show up but the lesson we had was one of the worst ones i have ever been in. They truly are not trying to argue. Ryan prayed about the book of mormon but didnt feel anything he said.... So we cant do much more except have him try it again. He has read the whole dang book and just has 6 million questions about it that i have no idea. He is hanging out with us today and i have become way good friends with him. 
Everyone else we are teaching is good. Remember Lori and Tyler? Well on like tuesday night we went to visit them. Tyler stepped out to take a phone call but came back like 5 minutes later and said "girls man" so i assumed it was his girlfriend. We hung out with them for like 30 minutes more and went back to our house. When we got back we got a call from him and he said that we must be praying really hard because his girlfriend just broke up with him so he could live the law of chastity now. We had been praying hard and told him we had prayed for him to find a way to live those things and it made sense to him so were making definite progress with him now. T and Cliff fell off the map for a while but we taught them on tuesday and thursday. They have a 16 year old son that just moved back in with them so were teaching him. He has had a rough life. T told us that if he got baptized she would for sure. She wants to right now but she said she wont leave any of her family behind so pray for Jaylin that he will be accepting to the gospel. That would be so cool if we could baptize the last 3 of there family. Thats about it for this week. I ran into the craziest man i have ever met but its to long to type so ill just do it another time. Remind me to tell you about Karate man down the road haha.
Last night were the transfer calls, i didnt realize that the people going to the airport possibly were not the only ones getting transferred so i was worried again. So the ZL's called and said i was getting transferred and hung up and i was shocked. Elder Davis called back like 3 minutes later just laughing his head off and said just kidding only elder call is going so it was a rough 3 minutes but a definite good prank. Im glad he knows i can handle those things haha. Today were going to the maui aquarium. We got free tickets so we might as well go use them. Next week were going golfing for free also. We have a part member family whose husband is the golf pro at the country club so i have been working on it for weeks and he finally invited us. My comp doesnt wanna go though so it will be me and elder davis. That will be so fun.
Thats sad about Aunt Lorriane. I didnt know she was dead until this morning. Tell uncle benny im sorry.
Well thanks for everything. Sorry about the dentist. Love you all.
Love elder allen
