Aloha!!! First I just have to say SISTER GULLA IS THE BEST COMPANION EVER! Wow life is so great when you are around people you love and I just love her so much! We have so much fun together and we have seen choke miracles this week!!! As far as SR's go in the VC I have never had a better week! We have been blessed with the most prepared guests ever! All my last two transfers my goal was to have 3 SR's in the VC (not counting tram) in one day and we never reached it but last week we got 3SR's two days in a row and we had 1 or 2 at least ever day!! I have never had such amazing tours either! We have just really worked on asking inspired questions as we go throughout the tour and they have been really spiritual experiences!

One day we had a lady come in and she was so prepared she came in and said, " I saw the temple and just felt like I should turn around and come in." WOW! We were so stoked we played the Christis narration and then testified that Heavenly Father sent her to us today because we have what she is looking for we then played the movie Finding Happiness and asked her if she would meet with missionaries and she said, "You know what ya I will!" It was an awesome tour!!!

We also had the coolest experience where at District meeting we had training about seeking member referrals after a dinner message but because we don't cover a physical area right now S. Gulla and I role played with Elder La and Elder Menlove like we were in the VC taking a member tour and seeking a referral. But Elder La decided to add a twist and be a nonmember coming with his member friend. Which ended up being exactly what we needed to practice because that night a girl from Haula came with her 3 nonmember friends and we took them through God's plan and then because the spirit was so strong all three of them agreed to meet with missionaries!!! And then best part is they are all in our Zone so we found 3 new investigators for the Elders and they have already had a lesson with them!!! And thats how most of our SR's have been almost all of them have been for Hawaii so we are helping the mission move the work forward!

I think the reason we have seen so many miracles this week has been simply because we are loving what we are doing. Sister Gulla and I have such a blast together and everyone that comes in can feel that love we have for eachother and for the work and its made such a difference. We have had so many people comment on how happy we are and I think that has helped them want to learn more because they want that happiness too you know!

 

Ok last thing so we have a new Zone Leader and he is BOMB! He is so pumped about the work and he has been helping everyone get really excited! Our Zone theme is 14 miracles because we want to get 14 baptisms in our Zone for the month of July. And to help pump everyone up he asked S. Gulla and I to send out a voicemail to everyone every night about the miracles everyone is seeing and it has been so fun!! It's way cool to have everyone hear eachother's miracles and it has really helped unify us as a zone! We also confrence call everyone at 10:14 and pray together for a mission which is really sweet too! And S. Gulla and I have been spotlighting someone every night too which has been fun because it has helped us to get to know the Sisters and Elders better because we are watching them more clostly looking for good things to say about them : )

Basically this is just an awesome transfer and our Zone is rockin it! We are seeing amazing things happen and I am loving it so much! I hope all is going great back home too! I love you all so much! Thank you so much for the letters and emails they mean so much to me!  Thanks!

Sure Love Ya!!!
