I am still doing pretty good, I do miss home every once in a while but I'm alright. I have made it to my first zone and are it's called Mililani, Waialua. (on the island of O'ahu) the ward here is great they already love me and I don't even know them yet. My companions name is Elder Lee Chip Sao, I just call him Elder Lee. He is pretty cool, but I feel like him and his last companion would break rules a lot. But I'm keeping him on the path now. So our pad is really small it has like 2 rooms plus a bathroom it looks like something like this (he drew a diagram). Its like if you put our front room and kitchen together that's how much room we have, oh and we literally live right next to the church and I mean like 30 steps from the building.. The only part of our pad that really bugs me is the bathroom, when you go in it feels like the floor is going to collapse right beneath your feet. Also the floor is all tile but it moves because of how cracked it is, also if you wear socks in there you will absorb water out of the cracks, plus I don't think any missionary's have ever cleaned it , so guess what we're doing on Monday. Alright that's enough ranting, but seriously its gross! I guess I will share one of spiritual experiences, so we are teaching this investigator named Bill, and basically his mentality is "hey, I'm getting old, so now maybe I will go to church" So we get there and I am super nervous because this is my first real investigator, we go inside and sit down, he is in a wheel chair because he got hurt at work. He loves to surg so we talked about surfing for about 20 min. but eventually we got to start teaching the restoration which i know like the back of my hand thanks to the MTC. and then that's when the Spirit just filled the room, we just talked about Joseph Smith and the priesthood, the Book of Mormon and then we came to the subject of baptism. Which means we are doing pretty well, so we told him how Jesus was baptized and that he should be like him and also be baptized and he said YES!! Just kidding ha ha ha, he said he would read and pray in order to know if he should be, maybe next Tuesday. Anyway I love it here the Ocean is way better than the one in California. I love you, have fun in the snow!!
