Ward Camp/Final Email (Week 105)

Aloha everyone.... Time flies. This is my final email! 

2 weeks ago was the Hau'ula 2nd Ward's camp. They should do ward camps in Utah because they're awesome! Polynesians do it right! But honestly, it was so amazing because it gave us an opportunity to teach so many people! We saw so many miracles in the lives of people who have been prepared by many other members of the Church and missionaries who have helped them come to Christ and they want to make the covenant promise of baptism! I won't be able to see any in person but that's ok. I'm humbled and grateful that the Lord has allowed me to be a part of their journey in returning to Him :)

Christ lives. Covenants with Him have given me all the strength and power from His Atonement to endure the storms of my life and love in His way.

Thanks to everyone who has been a part of my journey over the past 2 years! I invite you all to come listen to the stories of some of the people I was able to help come to Christ in Hawaii and hear my testimony this Sunday, July 30th at 10:30 am. Address: 1150 East 1240 South Spanish Fork, Utah, 84660

Aloha Oe   

Hurrah for Israel!

Down to the wire (Week 103)

Aloha everybody!

It's been a while since my last email, but here's a short one.

I'm in a new area in the Hau'ula 2nd Ward! It's an amazing place, beautiful, and the ward members are really taking charge of the work and the efforts are combining and miracles are happening! The Lord prepared a friend of ours, who we found at a car wash finding activity, and he's going to get baptized on the 22nd. He is facing a lot of persecution from his family and friends but he told us he knows this is the restored gospel and Church of Jesus Christ! He has chosen Christ, His doctrine and His words in the Book of Mormon over all else! It's amazing!

Christ lives! He gives power to those who are converted to Him! The Book of Mormon will do that for us!

Love, 

Elder Shockley

Hurrah for Israel!
