Oh hi there. This week was transfer week. Elder Barnes and I are staying in Waipahu together in the Honouliuli Ward, but plot twist, we added another companion so we're in a trio now. Our new companion is Elder Fifita, and on Friday we were playing Pros Volleyball and Elder Fifita and Elder Barnes jumped up to block/spike. They hit each other, and Elder Fifita rolled his ankle pretty good. That night it swelled pretty good and bruised immediately. The next day it was gnarly looking so we went to Honolulu and we had the mission doctor take a look at it. He put him in a boot and I took the opportunity to talk to the mission doctor about compound fractures that he has seen in his life as a Physician and they were pretty good stories.
On Sunday we were visiting this aunty who had her 89 year old mother over and she asked my companion where he was from 3 times. It was so funny but she is a great example of enduring to the end. She served like 4 missions doing genealogy and temple work in Hong Kong, New York, and SLC, and probably somewhere else.
We had some very cool lessons where the Spirit was so strong. This time I've had to serve has truly been amazing, as I've had so much time to learn the doctrine of Christ and apply into my life, I have seen huge blessings and deeper conversion. The Doctrine of Christ truly is the only way back to our Father in Heaven.
Love you all. Life is hard but it is so sweet when we have a loving Heavenly Father, a living Savior in Jesus Christ, the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost, the gospel of Jesus Christ, a living Prophet, temples, and scriptures to guide us especially the Book of Mormon.
