Aloha Ohana and Haoaloha,
Well this week started off slow and then really picked up by the end of the week. We worked really hard and were able to improve and reach almost all of our goals. We are getting things rolling but it still requires patience and so much prayer. So some really good things that happened this week.

Zana we were able to see her this week and we had a really good lesson about the Plan of Salvation. It was really good we were able to bring a member with us that knows both her and the guy she is dating. She is reading the Book of Mormon and likes it. She wants to give this a try and see where it takes her. She has really enjoyed what she has learned so far and we are hoping to be able to have her with a baptism date to start working for. She just wants to find happiness and peace for herself and for her daughter. She is trying to request Sundays off so then she can come.
NG- is a 12 year old boy who is living here for the summer with one of our recently baptized families. He has come to church with them the past 2 Sundays and so we started teaching him this past week and he is so good. He really wants to be baptized and it was perfect because his uncle was actually baptized on Saturday so he was able to come and see that and he really liked and and felt that it was what he wanted! Sometimes it is hard to teach him because then his cousins come and they aren't always able to stay on topic but it sure is fun with all of them. I love them a lot and we laugh and try our best to stay focused; or one of us will distract the other kids while the other one is teaching. We are working for the July 19th! And then we got permission from the mom by having the Elders in that area go by and see his family. Now his little brother wants to get baptized too!!!! It would be so cool if they could get baptized together! He is so good and I am just amazed at how kids are soo good at understanding the Spirit!

One day this week we spent a lot of time going and seeing less active members and they were awesome. Sister Harris was perfect! She was able to connect with them and had a lot of similar experiences with the members we were able to see. She was a miracle that day to me! I really love Sister Harris - we laugh a lot and she wants to work hard :) And then of course we are trying to get better at our pigeon accents!
Last night was really good, we had dinner with our Bishop and his family. After dinner, the youth came over for a monthly fireside or they come and Bishop talks to them about different things that they face. It was really good we watched a mormon message about a boy who doesn't listen to his parents and decides to wear slippers instead of actual shoes. He then gets stung by a scorpion. We talked about how now is not the time to bend the rules. Could we get away with ignoring some of the rules and walk the line and be okay. yes. But now is not the time anymore. This younger generation needs to be strong because they are up against so much and we need their strength! I am just continually amazed at how good some of these kids are!
I love this work and I am glad that I have stayed! I love this work and this ward! I love you all! Te amo! Aishiteru! Poake poake yuk! Ofa atu! Naron secom! Alofa iate oe! Arohanui! Yokwe yuk! Aloha wau ia oe!
Love Always,
Sister Cassidy Lang
