It's been an interesting week here in the Waipiolani ward, we had a bit of a hard time meeting with our investigators but we were able to get Ikaika to church which was a plus. The youth did a great job of fellowshipping him and making sure he feels welcome. That is definitely one of the strong suits of this ward, they are very loving and welcoming whenever we bring people to church. Our Ghanaian investigator Francis came to a fireside about the atonement and he really liked it. The main thing with him at this point is getting him to act on what we talk about. I know that once he realizes what the spirit is telling him he will start committing himself.
In other news we did a service project for a man that lived in a legit shack on a farm so that was pretty cool. At the same time there was a lightning storm going on which was even cooler because despite all the Hawaiian rain we actually don't get lightning and thunder all that often.
We have also been trying to get more members involved with the lessons, the young women's president Sister Chun introduced us to some less active members that we are starting to meet with now so I testify to you all that members working with missionaries is the right way to go. Also the youth have been involved with some of these people which is great because it gets them fired up about serving missions themselves.
So in reference to my title we will be losing Elder Bird as a companion this week, he is going to Kona for the last 3 weeks of the transfer. He is a baller missionary and he will be missed, it's gonna be weird just having me and Elder Hayes again but on the up side at least I can focus a little more on training him.
That's all I have to report this week, good luck to all in your sharing of the gospel and have a great week.
Love and Aloha!
Elder Smith
