I had to leave my dear Honoka'a to go to Waianae on Oahu. I will
probably die of the heat, but that's ok. I will leave all my possessions
to my parents, except my cats, They will go to my younger brother. All
joking aside, it's really amazing here, and so is my new Brazilian
companion sister Modolon. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and
literally talks to everyone. We probably know about everyone in Waianae
now. The people are kind, the members are awesome and hardworking, and
we have lots of opportunities to share the gospel with people. What else
can we wish for?
We saw so many miracles happen this transfer:
We step on people's doorstep right when they needed us;
we found a guy during our morning run, that we often met in town, and he's interested in learning more about the gospel;
A bedridden member is preparing to go to the temple, and the joy we see in her eyes because of it is priceless;
Someone we never met called us to ask if she could come to church (.. of course you can!);
I had finally the opportunity to serve with sister Topp for a day.
Our brothers served together in the Scotland-Ireland mission and the
younger sisters serve together in the Hawaii Honolulu mission;
Again we get to see how the gospel changes the live of many people;
And muuuuuuuuuuuch more.
In this transfer I was remembered again on how amazing and
important priesthood blessings are. I witnessed both a blessing to
administer to the sick and a blessing of comfort. In both cases it
brought such a peaceful and calm atmosphere in the room and in the
respective person. It really make me grateful for my father, brothers,
and friends who are able to do that.
We also had a service project with the zone in Pearl Harbor. It was
a great experience. I was part of the cleaning crew and got the see a
lot from the ship on the inside.

Some other things to tell:
Lesson #2: Don't go tracting during some fancy UFC game either
I have reached the point where the abbreviation WoW is not World of Warcraft anymore but the Word of Wisdom
We had to defy many ferocious creatures and had some fluffy plufpuffs barking at us

Advantage of Hawaii: having the most beautiful areas to study if you don't have time to go back to the apartment

And last weekend we got to hear that sister Modolon and I have
another opportunity to serve together for 6 additional weeks. Looking
forward to it!
