Week 7- Lanai City, Hawaii (Population: 3,102)

I don't have too much time to write. Maybe about 15 minutes because our other computer isn't working.

We have started to see miracles here on Lanai!!! Fasting works! On Sunday we fasted for specific people and that the work would progress. Then on Monday we had 3 people call us.

First is Brandon, he is a nonmember who is married to a member. They have 2 boys and he has been coming to church for about 7 years but has never really been interested in joining. We had dinner with his family about 2 weeks ago and we shared a video about baptism. He liked it but didn't seem too interested. His wife then told us when she was dropping us off that if he gets baptized, she thinks it will be here on Lanai. (They are moving after the school year). That dinner was the only time we have shared a message with him and then Monday comes and he says he wants to get on the path to baptism. WHAT!!!! The Lord is amazing at preparing people. We didn't do anything the Lord just lets us be a part of this work and lets us taste a bit of the joy He feels when His children choose to follow Him. Brandon is getting baptized next Saturday.
 

Then the second person is Alberta, the lady we farm with every Friday. She has come to church the past 2 weeks but we think it is best to have her immerse herself into the gospel. She always has questions; whether it is about the temple, prophets, Joseph Smith, or the priesthood. The first week she invited herself to church (Sister Duke and I spoke) and then we talked with her while we were at her farm and she asked if we would be speaking again. It was fast and testimony meeting for the upcoming Sunday; so, we explained what that was. Then after she understood she said, "Oh, Okay you have committed me to coming this week." UM... GREAT! we didn't even ask if she wanted to, she just jumped in and said okay I'll be there. Then on Monday she called us and told us that she really liked coming to church and that she didn't realize that a lot of her friends were LDS. She had a really good chat with a Sister in the ward. Then she said she wanted to learn more about the church, and the Book of Mormon. Wow, the Lord is amazing!
 

Yep, we use a plunger to get the papayas down from the trees

The third we heard from was a member. He said that his employee wanted to get baptized.  I will explain about him more on Monday!
 

Our Pday was moved because President Dalton came over here and we spent the day with him and the 4 assistants to the president. We did a lot!!! Dad- I golfed on the nicest golf course ever. Google the Challenge at Manele! It is beautiful. I am not the best golfer but hey I have never golfed in my life besides mini golfing. I'd get better if I ever practiced. I'll tell you more on Monday. I'm sorry this is so short.
 

Love Always,
