Hello family/friends who might read this...
Oh and Happy birthday Bronson! I am going to get you and Mom a present hopefully today so you have my permission to be excited! Man, the Holidays here are super weird because it is not cold... I don't really like that... haha, but people still have all there decorations up or are now putting them up and there is Christmas music playing. It’s not very busy though with Christmas shopping because there's not much to shop for here on Molokai. Most people take the ferry to Maui or shop online I think. I loved those pictures of the tree festival. I can't believe dad went, haha. Good job dad! I loved all of those packages. I haven't watched all of the DVD’s yet but I watched a few of the Dad ones. Those will probably kill me when I watch them all haha, so emotional. The cd's are amazing. Kenny G is my boy! haha I flipped out when I saw that. The only thing though is that it reminds me of home a lot and then when I look outside and it's not blustery or snowy and I get kind of sad. The other two cd’s are super awesome too. I Got D-Archy's (David Archeletta) signature! haha I haven't watched that movie yet but I'm excited to.
I was really stoked for this hike we were about to do because it is to the backside of Molokai to somebody’s house but there is no trail and there are cliffs and stuff and we went on google earth with our bishop so he could show us the way. It felt like when we would find our trails for mule riding haha. We ended up not having enough time on pday to do it though but it would have been really cool.
Skye and Ty might move again? That would be pretty cool if they had a place with some land of their own. Good luck with that. I might miss that little house though.
Molokai is doing awesome. One of our investigators is still super committed to being baptized. We talked to him about it the other day and we asked him to get rid of anything that reminds him of smoking so he gathered up all his ash trays and things and he goes "You guys wanna go out and smash these with me?" I instantly said yes, haha and we went out and he bashed them with some pliers. Right now is crunch time for him because if he smokes from now until Christmas eve he has to start all over. I think he can do it though. He bore his testimony on Sunday! He is awesome. It was great, he was super nervous and when he went to thank me and Elder Davis he said our wrong names. Man, I love that guy. He also wasn't really sure how to end it so you could tell when he was done he was kind of wondering what to say because we never told him that you say in the name of Jesus Christ Amen and so he just goes... okay now.. bye bye... haha. It's awesome that he even decide to go up! Then I decided to bear my testimony after he did to make him feel a little better. I hadn't done it in a really long time anyway and it was the last chance of the year. It felt good.
We also had the Christmas Devotional but there were some technical difficulties so we had to watch last years. It was still really good and still made me really trunky, haha. I miss the times when we would go to temple square on mom's birthday. Are you guys gonna do that this year? You definitely should.
Well that is all I can think of right now. I love you guys and this gospel. I love to see it change others lives as well as mine every day. Every day on my mission I seem to get a little stronger and a little more knowledgeable about some part of the gospel and there are still endless things to learn. Sometimes I just want to know everything.
That is all for this week.
Elder Pincock
