Maui just gets more and more awesome everyday! we should be getting our car sometime this week then we can finally get to work i will look for pictures of the pad i don't think i took any yet at least not on the inside but if you want to see where i live google pulehu chapel maui it will show a really old church and we live in the little building next to it plus then you can read some of the history. my companion is great he has had alot of success in his mission so i am hoping it will rub off on me some how if you send me the CD i can put it all on my flash drive and then send it back so that would be cool also hank smith is awesome
This is where i live, next to this church the Pulehu Chapel. built by the church in 1850
Maui is the best! its so awesome we are just so far in the middle of no where its awesome! we have a really good amount of members and they are so chill they just call us and ask if we can come chill at there house. the pukalani ward is really cool because it just got a new bishop and a new elders quorum president they are so excited to work with us actually they just set up splits with us so that's good because right now we dont have a car in a huge area so we haven't been able to do much we should be getting it back sonn the last elders did something stupid and crashed it now we have to deal with it. YES i got the package it was awesome to get all of those letters i get way more mail then all of my companions its awesome. the pants are exactly what i wanted so thanks the fit great so dose the belt next pday i will have to go look for some shoes i looked around but so far i cant find anything that fits me. the belt i great as well now i just have to order some G's because now i don't live on a island with a temple. just found out Mariel has officially gotten engaged and will be married by the time I get home

So this week has been the most crazy yet. it started out in Kalihi with Elder Valdez and Elder Jensen but on Wednesday morning i woke up to a call from President Warner (that was scary) he just asked me how Elder Jensen and Elder Valdez were doing I told him they were doing great. then he said "Well in that case I need you to pack your bags because I am moving to to Maui. because another Elder had to go home. then he asked me if I was ok with that, and of course I was so yeah im in the Pukalani ward on the country side of Maui. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL i fell so blessed and lucky to be here i have a great new companion from Murray Utah his name is Elder Mabey any way conference was super good I just watched it at the chapel but i loved every minute of it my favorite was the one about standing as a light he related it ti clay on a spinning wheel and how it has to be centered. so thats why i like it so much also the other one about the young rich man the asked the savior what lack I yet? I loved that one i cant remember who said them but I remember the talks. I cant believe Evelyn is walking already i have been gone too long man that's crazy! also so because I got transferred my package is at the Kalihi post office and they wont let The elders pick it up without my ID so the office is trying to figure out how to get it to me its kind of crazy also those shoes started to really hurt me but my poor Filipino elder needed new shoes and so i gave them to him sorry he really needed them i will just have to spend some of my money here to get them.

(he emailed us a video of him eating a worm, but i dont know how to post it on here sorry)
HEY FAMILY! Im glad you got the video haha. so we were at a service project and as were were digging we kept finding a tone of worms then we found a really big one then one of the elders said you should eat one. i said no the he said he would give me 5 dollars then i said only if you could get all the other Elders to put in $5 then of course all the elders put in $5 so i ate the worm but hey i made $30! so ya it just tasted like dirt it wasn't to bad. plus the story alone was worth it.
Ok so for me the hardest part about mission is always having to be with somebody always and now I have two somebody's :/ but its not to bad I could hate them, but I don't I have to great missionary's with me the only down side is no more personal space not that I had any. are apartment is super small as it is but oh well everything is for a reason
Right now we have this super cool lady named Maddie that i have been working with since i got to kalihi she is really progressing she cam to a ward party, a family history, class our activity night and even came to church i have kind of made her my goal before I leave Kalihi
I got the shoes they are a little small even thou thats my shoe size i think its just the design but i am wearing them right now there a little tight but i think i will just try and make them work and break them in i will let you know how it goes i havent got anything else yet but i will be looking. Also one year is way better then 2 haha love you guys!
