1Nephi 3:7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandements unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.

NEXT STOP... MOLOKAI!!

I am being transferred!  It's funny that I have only been in two areas and now I am being transferred to MOLOKAI!  It's one of the smaller islands off of Maui.  It is still in the same zone, haha.  I'm pretty excited for that!  I've always wanted to see what it was like over there.  Now i will only have one more island to go to and that is Kauai.  Well and Oahu but everyone goes there, haha.  There are only 4 elders total on Molokai.  I hear my new companion is pretty cool too so I will let you guys know about everything next Monday.  I get to ride a ferry there and that means I don't have a wait limit to my bags which is nice.  I’m pretty stoked to go but obviously sad to leave.  Elder Workman has been awesome.  He has been one my favorite comps so far.  He is staying here along with Elder Savage.  Elder Allen is going to Oahu somewhere.  This has been a crazy 4 ½ here, haha. 

So JT is going to live in a bamboo hut? That would be awesome!  That would be weird to go tracting in a place like that!  There is so many Phillipino people here.  We can't understand what they say and they can't understand us.  They see us and just say "Catholic dats why"...  it's kind of funny. 

I wish i could be there for the demolition in the house, haha,  that was always the best part.  I kind of miss remodeling haha.  I haven't lived in a house where we haven't done that.

Well the work this week was pretty much the same.  We have been trying to see all the less active and part member families on the ward list (which is like 75 percent of them)  but we haven't found anyone solid yet but we will keep looking.  Wel,l I guess elder workman will...  We also taught one of our investigators again and it still amazes me that she's not a member.  We had a really good lesson.  She is moving forward but very slowly.  She keeps trying though. 

We went to chiefs house again for the last time.  I don't know if you remember me talking about him but he lives way out in the boonies next to a rock beach.  It was awesome.  I took some pictures so you guys will get to see it soon.  We also rode a school bus this week, haha.  There was an investigator in pukalani ward that we all know pretty well that drives the bus to school.  Elder Allen told her one day that he would show up one day and sneak on the bus.  She didn't really believe him so we just had to do it.  So we got up early and grabbed our back backs and drove like a block away from her house and then parked so she wouldn't see it and snuck up to her house and she had her bus running in the driveway.  We snuck up in and layed in the back and she came in and made a few stops.   Then in the middle of it we just sat up.  She had the funniest look on her face.  She just looked at us and started laughing.  So then we just talked to all the kids on the bus to school.  She had them all introduce themselves to us and they all prayed with us before they got off the bus, haha.  So, that is my interesting story for the week. 

I love you guys.  Thanks for all of you support.  I really am grateful for it. 

See ya in Moloka'i.  (probably not though.  That'd be weird)
