BUt really....I have turned into a
camel. I drink so much water here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like never
before!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's amazing! I don't know where it goes!!!! but it still
seems like I'm always parched. well that's maui for ya!
The struggle has been real here, but
we're figuring things out! We taught a LOT more this week, and we are getting
to know more of the families and the roads haha. this one family that we are
teaching is a mom (not attending church)
a dad
( who is not a member of our church) and
2 children. the daughters are memorizing scriptures, and the older one
attends seminary every morning and they are working as a family to get more
involved with the gospel and to get that back into their life. I is always
amazing to see the changes and the joy that the gospel brings to individuals
and families.
I love the people here! Everyone
kisses everyone like all the time. IT's just the greeting of the culture.
shaking hands is so mainland. So I am just afraid I am going to get back to the
mainland and introduce myself to people by kissing them on the cheek and then
I'll be totally embarrassed and they'll be confused and it will be super
strange for everyone who is around.....ya....so watch out when I get back!
I met this nice old guy this week
and I invited him to learn more about the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day
saints and he politely refused. So I asked him what religion that he was. he
told me that he channels light. then he held his hand up by me and said
"see, I channel light". then he stopped and smiled and said
"You've got a lotta light lady!!!!" haha made my week! it was super
cute!
sorry that this week's letter is
short. I emailed a lot of individual emails this week. fam bam I'll write you a
handwritten letter. I gotta let my baby get on the computer :) love you tons!!
ALOHA!
