Week 8- Fasting Works

Aloha Ohana and Haoaloha,

Sister Marshall came from Maui for transfers. She is from Simi
 knows Bryce Hays and Josh and Amanda and maybe Carly.
The sign is how many miles away from home we are

 

So like I said the third person is named Shawn or everyone calls him Big Easy. His boss is a member and called us on Monday and was like guess what happened at work today? Big Easy came in and was said, "Cody, I want to get baptized. How do I do that?" Cody told him that he needed to take the lessons from the Sisters. So we have seen him 2 times since then but it is really hard to set up appointments because he is always working and then when he is off it is hard to find someone to go with us to teach him. He is a really funny, but is going through a hard financial problem right now so we are trying to help him turn to God in prayer when times get rough and to truly have faith in the Lord. The other day we just stopped by to see how he was doing. Well, the door was wide open and he was in the kitchen with just his boxers on making dinner. Um... yep i felt weird knocking on the door and saying Aloha with my head down. haha. His response was, "Oh, look my girlfriends came back!" He comes to the door and then says, "oh, hold on let me go put on some shorts." I was very glad that he did because I was just staring at the ground and yep I felt awkward to say the least. Well, it all went well because we are going to be meeting with him this week. Pray that it will go well.

 

We loved the golf carts :)

      So as you can tell, Sister Duke and I had nothing to do with these people really. They just called us and asked to learn more. It is amazing the power of a fast. I know that sometimes we may not be answered like this but it was an amazing gift from the Lord. He really could do this work of bringing to the gospel on His own but He allows us to play a little part and feel a little piece of the joy that He feels when His children choose to follow Him.

 Me golfing

    My P-day with President Dalton (also known as P-Diddy by some of the missionaries and then the Bradfords, a family here that is really close to the president). Well we went golfing in the morning. Wow- I am so bad at golfing. But it was okay because so was President, well and actually none of us were that great. I learned that President Dalton has been very blessed financially because he bought us all hats from the golf course (wow, I miss hats and beanies) and then we golfed on I think one of the nicest golf courses in the world! After he took us all out to lunch. Then we went up to Cody's barn. (He runs a tour thing with horses, ATVs, shooting guns and archery. It was so fun. Don't worry though there was a spiritual aspect to the day too. That night Brandon received his baptismal interview and he is being baptized this Saturday!!! I am so happy for him and for his family. In his lesson we asked what had changed his mind and he said his family and he asked how long it would take until he could be sealed to them for eternity? Wow, this gospel is amazing and blesses us so stinkin much! Wow, why does God love us so much? I think I will continue to ask this until I die and then I still might ask it. Wow, Thursday was a great day :)

 

 The normal view at every hole of the course. 

    Well we continue to work and to try and be better. The gospel is great. We have a Savior who loves us and is alive again. He has made salvation free to all who choose to follow Him. And that is what He asks all of us to do, "Come, follow me." How do we follow Him? We start with gaining faith in Him, repenting and changing to be better, we are baptized in His name and with His authority, we receive the Holy Ghost to be our constant companion, and we endure to the end. His gospel is simple and it is true. It will bring us the most happiness no matter where we are in life. I know this to be true and I love that it is simple. I love you all and pray for your well being. Emua! (Press Forward) Aloha uvau ia oe!

After atv rides we were so dirty from the dust that flew up!

 

Love Always,

Brynlee, "I thought we didn't hear you" As she rides her bike on the porch.
