So we had an interesting week. The front half of it was mostly focused on getting Elder Bird ready to go. Before he left for Kona we had another meeting with the Davis family (less actives who want to get back to church) and we had a really solid experience teaching them the restoration. Bishop Goo was there as well and he asked the parents to share their testimonies with their kids. It was a really cool experience and the spirit was really strong and in the end we committed their daughter Kiana to be baptized. She said yes but won't be able to do it until January, all in all it was a great lesson.
After sending off Bird we had a lesson with a potential investigator named Kanoe who had a lot of good questions about our beliefs. The only problem was her 80 year old judge Judy obsessed auntie was there and started asking us all the dumb questions like how many wives did Joseph Smith have (idk, more than one) why don't we believe in the Bible (we do) and why don't we believe in birth control (we do). Anywho we have a return appointment so we will see how that goes. All in all it was a winning situation because I got Poke and Tako out of it.
Next we had a doorstep lesson with a referral named Georgi and her mom Billie-Jo. They had a lot of questions about the Book of Mormon and were totally accepting of a lot of what we had to say. They were super nice and we will hopefully be able to meet with them again soon. But yeah that's our week, some ups and some downs as usual but we are pushing through. It's weird only having one companion, gets a little quiet sometimes and we always feel like we forgot something. its an adjustment. Buuut anyway hope everyone has a great week. Love you all and happy Thanksgiving!
Aloha!
Elder Smith
