Eventful Week

So on my side of things I did not get transferred. I am kind of glad I get to stay in this area for 6 more weeks. But after that I'm probably going to be sent somewhere else. This week has been quite eventful. This Friday we went to the temple visitor center with one of our investigators. He is the bishop's son-in-law. He has recently showed an interest and desire to be with his family forever. So we've been teaching him the lessons but he wants to know more before he commits to being baptized. He is a really nice guy, doesn't talk too much at most probably 5 or 6 words. So we toured the visitors center (which is really really nice) and at one exhibit he asked us a question. What is your favorite scripture. We were so excited to have him ask us a question because usually he is too shy. We are really excited to meet with him again this week we feel that being at the temple was good for him. Now he has an idea of how he can be with his family forever. 

Another experience we have this week:

Was we met with in Asian man who was 92 years old walking around punch bowl (the cemetery) he told us where he lived and said we could visit him sometime. So on Saturday we went to go see him. But we could not find the road where he lived. We decided we might as well just start walking be we could find his house but all the house number were not even close to his number he gave us. After walking about a block we reach the same spot we had met him earlier. We did not think we would be able to find his home. So I suggested we stay or prayer and keep walking maybe we could find him or someone else in our path. There was a member that the down the hill so I thought maybe we should go visit her. But she was gone. Then it that intersection my companion chose to go right which brought us into a neighborhood with similar house numbers to the old man's. So we kept looking. We eventually walked a little ways but decided we would find his house another day because of time. So we could another right which led us to our car. As we were at the intersection we saw an old man that looked like him but we weren't sure if it was him. So we decided to find out so we went chasing after this man. He has a really fast Walker for a 92 year old man and we ended up falling him for 3 blocks. It probably looked kind of funny two missionaries stocking an old man. But we finally caught up with him and it was him! It was a miracle that that that specific time we reach the same spot he was there it was a really cool spiritual experience for me. So we basically went  in a big circle and got back to where we began the exact moment to cross paths with him.

Those are two experiences I have had this week. And today I am really excited I'm going to tour Euolani Palace. Which me and Elder Lidang just took pictures in front of last week. Now we are going to go inside! This is the place where aloha oi was written. I would like to encourage you to read the history of that song. We sing it all the time here. It's a little bit of a sad story, but the major part of the history of Hawaii.
