This week was fun!!! Monday, my companion decorated our house all
birthday-ee . It was super cute! Then, Tuesday was my birthday and we had our
missionary district meeting....which turned into a party! The elders wore party
hats, we sang, had lunch and cake.....the whole deal!!!!!! Then we went to visit
some people. It was a good day. Then we had dinner with a great family and they
had soft tacos (YAY!!!! We never get mexican food!) and chocolate cake! haha it
was a great day! Then sister Richardson and I had a balloon fight (it's way more
fun than a pillow fight)! So now i'm 20.....weird! 
On Wednesday, we went to serve at Pearl Harbor. We swept this huge deck on
the ship! It was awesome. Then we carried choke mattresses down into the ship
for the bunks down there. they were heavy!!! We made a chain and were passing
them to each other. One elder threw a mattress to the next elder and hit him in
the face with the mattress and he got a nose bleed haha:) Then we went on
exchanges with the sister training leaders. It is always fun to see a different
area and meet new people:)
It was great to see so many people at church this week!! One family that we
have been working with, who haven't been to church in a long time
CAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was awesome!
We met this great Samoan family this week who just welcomed us in and let
us sit down and got us so much food and were so nice!!! haha there are just such
hospitable people in the world!
Also I realized this week that I don't feel comfortable in houses with my
shoes on anymore haha. some one was like "oh you can leave your shoes on" and I
was like "thanks" and like two minutes later my shoes were off. haha I can't
stand it....it makes me feel uncomfortable:) haha
One time this week we had to call our zone leaders and they didn't pick up
their phone so sister Richardson left them a message that went something like
this "Hi elders....umm, we....well, we got in an accident...umm...it's a pretty
interesting one- well, we...we hit a horse. And we just don't know how to fill
that out on the accident report form, so if you could call us back as soon as
possible....the police are waiting on us. okay, bye." hahaha I love my
companion!
Easter was wonderful! I am so grateful for our Savior, who came to this
earth to live for us, and to die for us. I am so grateful that He lives again.
Because of Him, we can all live again. everyone watch the Easter video on
LDS.org. It's fantastic!
Love you all!
love, Sister Hodgson
