First I just have to say I have never been so grateful in my whole life! We are in the most beautiful place on earth! Kohala is this little hidden gem tucked away on Big Island. Everywhere else is black rock but here it is tropical and lush and green and cool! I LOVE it here with all my heart! The people here are the nicest people on earth! Our little ward is the greatest!
 This area is full of rolling green hills with cows that have all the lush green grass they want! And you would love the little town part! It looks like you are in Yellowstone because it's all these old cute little shops! It’s just soooo cute! My heart will forever be in Kohala I love it here!
 The Rapiers are the Senior Couple serving here and they are the BEST and we LOVE them! It's really like having a Mom and Dad right there all the time! They picked us up from the airport and had leis already for us and have been driving us around showing us beautiful Kohala and introducing us to everyone!
 My companion is awesome too, she is such a hard worker. We went to seminary the first morning we got here and there were only 6 kids! Their graduating class has 80 students! But even though our ward is small our area is HUGE!
Today for p-day we went with the Rapiers to go whale watching and have a picnic! I seriously love them and this place!

Transfers are done! Halleluiah! The new sisters are great! We got out first 19 year old sister! She is from Taiwan and you would never know she was any younger than the rest of us. This was the biggest transfer too! We had 15 new elders and 12 new sisters all come out! We have 24 sisters now in the VC which is the most we have ever had so we had to put bunk beds in one of the pads to fit more sisters. Oh and cool thing: For the first and probably last time in my life I got a new car for my birthday!!!! Woot Woot! We have so many sisters now that we needed to get another car here and so we are now the proud owners of a brand spankin new car-it even smells like new car!! yummm : )
All is well I love the mission and life is great! Have a wonderful Valentines I am sending you all my love! You are the best ever!!!

Love you!!!
