13 Months (Week 58)

Crazy that I'm over the hump in time, haha. 

It's been a bit but I'll make it brief. Joy who was in my last area got baptized last Saturday so me and my previous companion got to drive back to Ewa Beach for her Baptism! It was awesome! 

Transfers also happened this past week. My old companion Elder Tipa, from American Samoa, got transferred here to Kaneohe to be with me! It's been awesome to be with him! I'm also covering the YSA Branch now and after the first week it's been so good! There's a Marine base here in the Stake so there's a lot of Marines in the YSA Branch, and they're all super cool. It's been awesome to work with them all, and we're teaching a Marine who is golden and is probably going to get baptized soon. 

The Lord continues to show forth His all powerful hand in the work and my life. Seek to let the Lord prevail in your life. In the Book of Helaman in the Book of Mormon the same teachings are taught over and over. It says something similar to this throughout the whole Book of Mormon -> Helaman 13:11: "But if ye will repent and return unto the Lord your God I will turn away mine anger, saith the Lord; yea, thus saith the Lord, blessed are they who will repent and turn unto me, but wo unto him that repenteth not."

So doest thy best to heed the words of these ancient and modern prophets and continually repent and you'll be blessed!
