Hello Madre how are you?? How's is everything? That's awesome. Thanks for all
of the support that you guys give me. Love you guys.
This week has been
pretty awesome. We went to Waimea for Zone Conference and that was
sweet. I went on exchanges with Elder Niemann on Tuesday
and it was pretty fun. It's weird having my trainer as my Zone Leader. The Zone Leaders live just down the road too....like not even a mile away. We were teaching this lady at a halfway house and teaching the plan
salvation to her and in the middle of the lesson, I had to go to the bathroom so bad! So I
was forced to stop in the middle of the lesson and ask if I could use
their bathroom. Elder Niemann thought it was pretty funny, but ohhh man I
had to go soooo bad. I drank a little bit to much orange juice.
"T" the
guy that were working with{the guy that jacked up his leg} got arrested
in Kona. For driving without a license, without insurance and his
windows were too tinted and his kids were not in seat belts. So they
got him out and made him walk on his broken leg without his crutches.
He actually called us while he was in jail as he was getting in an argument
with a girl officer and he called us so that we could teach the gospel
to her and make her quite. Then we talked with "T" on Sunday
and talked about how he almost died that morning because he was
spitting up acid through his nose and his mouth. ........at least he said he was
going to die. A
lot of stuff has happened to him lately. We just told him to keep on
praying and reading the scriptures and that these bad things are
happening because Satan is trying his best to get him not come to church and all
that. We're teaching a
bunch of thugs right now, but "T's" a good guy, he's becoming more
open with us.
Oh ya and Mom I need a side bag pretty quick here. Thanks for the letter and stuff.
I would say that were
getting to know the ward very well and I feel like they really like us a
lot. Griffiths and I taught Elders Quorum. It was on leadership
and why we are called to leadership positions and stuff like that. I'm
thankful that I get to be here in Hawaii and here in Keaukaha. You can
find both extremes on Sunday
though, haha, because you go to church and get all sanctified and then we
have to ride by the beach and see a bunch of girls in bikinis. I don't
think I have gone a single day without seeing a girl in a bikini haha. I
cant really think of much else that happened, but i love you guys I got
to go!
Love Elder Shoemaker
