hey whats up everyone,


yeah so i finally got transferred out of my last ghetto and got thrown
right into a new one haha. its different though. its not drug and gang
ghetto its like redneck country boy ghetto, im still trying to decide
which is worse haha but its good. It actually looks a lot like
southern utah so its kinda weird. i wake up and think im camping also
cuz our pad is like falling apart and is by far the worst one i have
lived in. Its ok though its all just another adventure. My new comps
name is elder cady. he has been out for like 19 months and is
incredibly trunky which sucks. all he talks about is home so i gotta
focus on something other than his whining..... ok but yeah other than
that i actually like it up here. this ward is better than my last by
far. they feed us every night and are all super nice because its not
so much a millitary ward anymore. thats good. my game plan for right
now is jsut sorta go with the flow the best i can until he gets
transferred and take this area over and turn it around. it wont be
hard. there is so much work to do here but he really wont do it.... no
fun.

this morning elder robbins and i got up and went fishing down at the
ocean. it was like 2 minutes away and there was no one there. we sat
there for like 7 hours and watched 20 foot swells coming in which are
crazy big, all these guys were surfing them. it was sick. and then we
saw a ton of whales off the coast. it was way cool to see. i was like
as far northwest as you can get on oahu and yeah we actually caught
some fish. it was fun.

i havent met any of our investagators yet so im also gonna work on
that this week. we need to get some baptisms up here. its been a
while. before i left moanalua 1st we had 5 baptisms. the last two
weekends of the transfer. those were good. i hope they stay active
though. We went to go take the baptism clothing to veeann and her
little sister looked at me and said i havent been baptized. so i said
how old are you? expecting like 7. and she said ten so i felt stupid,
called elder grover who did the interview and baptized them together.
we taught them both the whole time and i never even asked. god had to
have her ask me haha. oh well at least its done. but yeah its all good
over here. i hit a year this transfer which is crazy. ill send pics
soon..


love you all
