So about this past week.... Wow I seriously feel like I'm living in a drama sometimes. It's so full of ups and downs, and really, my emotions have never had so many variations before. I'm used to being the type of person that's just like ----------------------- no matter what happens, but my companion has a very different personality, and I've been riding along with her like this /\/\/\/\/\. It's been very interesting that's for sure. But we are doing well!
Still doing great on the TTRs (To the Rescue), working with the members. And this next week Saturday is our Luau, which we will pretty much be dedicating all of our time to preparing this next week. It's crazy and stressful, but at the same time really enjoyable. One thing we did find out though was that really, missionaries cannot do it alone. We had thought that we had to plan everything out and do everything and then the members would just come and enjoy, but turns out the members actually wanted us to work with them (who would have known?... Really, I don't know why we thought otherwise). Anyway, we are going to be working super hard to make this activity a success and hope it doesn't mess up. :)
Something cool that happened with our English class: there are two middle school students that have been coming for a long time, and last week we asked the older brother to say the prayer, which he did for the first time. And then this past week, his younger brother volunteered to say it! I was so surprised and very pleased. :]
About being grandmas, really, the longer you are on a mission, the older you feel. Once Sisters get to their last few months we always call them grandma, since they're older in the mission. But that's seriously how you feel too! In fact, this past Tuesday, something mortifying happened. We were walking along the street, when my companion all of the sudden stops me and says, "It's okay if I pull these out right?" I had no clue what she was talking about, but then she reached for my head and plucked out FOUR WHITE HAIRS from my head. !!! I was like, Whhhaaaat???
Yeah, it's been interesting. but our investigator came to church again! She hasn't been in the past three weeks, but she came and we go to teach her and hopefully will teach her again this week. Yay!
That's all for now. i love everyone over there!

Interesting Fact: No one goes anywhere if it rains. Really, you'll have a big activity happening, but if it rains then you can expect half attendance. We are hoping that doesn't happen to us this Saturday for the Luau. Today certainly was bright and sunny. I've got a little bit of sunburn from our zone P-day hiking along a cliff beach. But if it doesn't rain, it's HOT. The nonstop heat has come. Hope it's sunny for our Hawaii party!
"God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction." - Genesis 41:52
I've been learning a lot about that lately, how often the hardest moments are the times that bring the most blessing, the most growth, and the most results. What may look like a bane at first can turn into our favorite experience, as long as we trust in God and His plan for us. When the hard times come, don't get discouraged I know that you can do it, and God knows that you can do it.
